It's impossible to compare Pippa and Denee. Pippa really brings out Natasha's emotions and soul. Denee brings out Natasha's innocence and naivety. The two are EQUALLY amazing, they just bring different things to the table.
@davidfathom30516 жыл бұрын
I can think of one area where Denée comes up really short: she can't sing the song as written. The song was written for a Soprano with a mixed belt, something that Ms. Benton doesn't have. For about 90% of the song, that's fine, but the ending of the song doesn't swell the way it's supposed to when the singer sings everything in head voice. The song's climax was written to be just that: a climax on a high note. That high note sounds amazing with chest voice mixed in, but the note isn't that impressive without any belt, especially since the note is an E and she hit an F# about 15 seconds ago. Then there are my feelings about Phillipa Soo and dynamic control, but I feel like getting into that would be unfair. This reads like I really hate Denée Benton, but I don't. I saw her twice and loved her each time, probably because her performance was so visual I didn't care about how her voice doesn't really fit the part.

When I first listened to Denee sing this on youtube it was hard to get Pippa's version out of my head, but when I saw the show I can tell you that there is no better casting for Natasha than Denee Benton. She was utterly angelic, she had the youth and innocence that made the character so believable and pure. She has such a trusting, loving energy about her, and she connects with the audience with a perfect ease. She isn't afraid to make eye contact, and being in the front row of the orchestra during "Sonya Alone" I was just crying through the song, and there she was right in front of me, crying and just staring into my eyes. It was so surreal, a moment and a performance I could never forget. She blew me away, and had Bette not been cast as Dolly, I know Denee would have snatched the Tony.
@kueller917 Жыл бұрын
Amidst all the rightful praise of Denée I also wanna give tons of praise to Dave Malloy for putting together the lyrics. Effectively every single line here is pulled directly from War & Peace, as something Natasha either said or thought. Quotes scattered across 100 or so pages chosen and beautifully put together to the music. As much tongue-in-cheek goofiness this show has you can tell Malloy really respected the original text.
@d.praytell7 жыл бұрын
Denee and Pippa interpret the roles differently, Pippa definitely brings out a fight through Natasha whereas Denee brings an innocence and captures it very well. I saw Denee perform many times at ART before Broadway and she killed it every night--especially with the acting--this video doesn't do her justice! But she sounds amazing.
