So many swirling thoughts. LOL.
I never liked this performance and watching it again I still feel the same way. A major reason is the amount of time she spends with her eyes closed. In general I do not like when people perform with their eyes closed. It seems self indulgent, like they are luxuriating in the sound of their own voice rather than communicating with the audience. I may be reading into this...but at a basic level I know I was taught in acting school to keep my eyes open or I am exclding the audience. Please don't make fun of me, but I saw Spring Awakening 11 times and I don't remember her singing with her eyes closed, do others? Did she do it on Glee (not a fan, only watched one episode). I hope it was just a one off for this Tonys performance.
And it seems like everyone has forgotten all the chatter about "Lea Michelle isn't FUNNY". And of course the other side says "it's called acting" and all that. That might be true, but there is a reason "types" exist and not everyone can play everything. I always thought she exuded an unpleasantness, in general. And from some of the stories from castmates it seems that may not be so off from the truth.
However, I am going to wrap this up by saying I think her time has come to play Fanny. Maybe she's grown. I found her more appealing on the recent Tonys broadcast than I ever have. And Streisand aside---I honestly don't care about Streisand or anyone being like her---I really just want to hear the score sung by someone with a big voice. |
