| I didn't say that but for Pal Joey she never would have worked with Lonny. Just that she did and that they then began a very long-running series of shows together. I know she also had a history with Ravinia, making them quite happy to have her. But if they hadn't done Pal Joey, I can certainly imagine other fine actresses being asked to do the Sweeney concert. Fully agreed that Audra was a glorious Dot (I adored everything about the Ravinia Sunday, except Lonny's damn video montage played over the ending). Audra would be terrific in most anything; prior to Lady Day I might not have made that statement, but she is so incredibly versatile both vocally and dramatically. I really wish Patti and Benanti would do The Rink, as was rumored 10 years ago now. Both too old now, but I think they'd still be great. |

| My dream is to see and hear Audra sing Elizabeth Barrett's soliloquy from "Robert and Elizabeth", the greatest single soliloquy for a woman in musical theatre history (well, yes, okay, "Rose's Turn" is up there too....) A perfect lyric, a perfect evocation of a poet's diction, a perfect dramatic build with a major step in the action at the end, and musically heaven-sent. If Brian Stokes Mitchell played Robert Browning in a production alongside her, the world would finally be perfect too! |
