This show is phenomenal. Sarah was phenomenal. I have no idea why people don’t like her as Norma. This entire show is a once in a lifetime experience.

I don't know why Sarah is getting not great press over her portrayal. Yes she isn't like other performers. Her Norma is not a one note crazy person. She is fragile, near the edge, emotional and hurt. She is also clearly delusional. And then snaps at the right time. It's quite good.
@theatremattersau26 күн бұрын
We agree. There are actually quite a number of very positive reviews about Sarah's performance. They're just not the reviews going viral. Sarah gives a very ethereal and fragile performance, and it's quite perfect for Norma.

@@theatremattersau could not agree more. It's easy to just be nuts. It's difficult to portray real emotion like sarah does. You don't laugh at her Norma, you really feel sorry for her. I've seen it twice and plan to go again

I've seen the show twice now. Once during preview week and again last night. The first time sarah was holding back but apparently she was ill. Last night she was spectacular! Her voice was full and powerful. The whole show was better, more energy now they have settled in. But Sarah was wonderful last night. I was front row so got to hear her voice directly as well as through the speakers 🤓

I was just about to write the same comment. When l heard about the casting, my first thought was "Hmmmm. Okay?". The only clip l could find of her was her saying the "l am BIG" (not even the full line!). It's made me sceptical.
@LeonorFiniCat26 күн бұрын
I think it's classier and nicer to say her voice isn't for everyone, and that's ok. She's very different to other Normas, but I think people are being quite mean about her performance in this show. I will also say Silvie Paladino's Norma is amazing so if someone wanted to see the show but Sarah is not their taste, go on a Silvie day. You won't be disappointed.

@@LeonorFiniCat ls there any footage of her in this role? It's not a question of not being nice, it's just incredibly unusual that there is no footage of the performance. Granted, her voice isn't usually my cup of tea but l was interested to see her take. I live in Canada so l won't be traveling to Australia anytime soon.

Great voice but i was distracted by his arms moving too much, I think it would have been more powerful with less movement and the audience would focus more on his singing and emotion.

Have you actually been to the show? Tim plays Joe impeccably and definitely portrays him as jaded and bitter. The rendition in this clip is quieter and more reserved than we got live, and I attribute it to the fact this was early, and a media call rather than a full show.

He's an Australian actor playing an American character, so an accent is necessary. That being said, I didn't hear anything that sounded weird in that entire song. What exactly are you complaining about?
