So being young and able, but very experienced and trained... she found the experience of creating a musical from the ground up awful AND also awful was the experience of going into a show already written and a hit in London and being essentially re-staged from existing staging by the director who made it a hit already...
I grant her that The Baker's Wife seems like an abnormally difficult process, and Evita is an abnormally strenuous role for any actress... but... just pointing out, she doesn't seem to enjoy either a rough new musical or a challenging established musical (who can blame her, but neither show was out to get her). I mean what can compete with doing Fantine in Les Miz or Reno is that Anything Goes revival... but being a working actor in musical theater, those kinds of dream scenarios of Les Miz and AG are probably just as unlikely to happen as are the abnormally difficult scenarios of Baker's Wife and Evita. |
