| For me, the big difference is the emotional vulnerability that Pinkins brought to the role. Watching Sharon D. Clarke, whose voice was never less than stellar, perform "Lot's Wife", the number reminded me of "Rose's Turn": big, brassy, assured... but still quite guarded. And then add to that... Tonya is a force of nature, but part of her magnificence on stage comes from her messiness. She doesn't use the best vocal technique on stage, and she doesn't practice the best vocal care off stage. Like Bernadette, she's someone you want to see early in the run if possible. |
