Victoria Clark is the best. Let me tell you why. In the GUN SONG segment of this video, she sings, "Show them all..." which is already beautiful. THEN she drops down right after that into this rich, lovely note that I cannot even name. This is why Victoria Clark is the best.

I absolutely love Alex Brightman, but I heard him almost make the same mistake I CONSISTENTLY while singing "How I Save Roosevelt." The lyric: "But Hoover up in Washington. It's Winter time in Washington. Too cold for the stomach in Washington." He almost said the "Too cold.." bit before the "It's Winter time..." bit. As much as I love that song, fuck that song bro. It makes me happy to see Alex has the exact same problem as the rest of us 😂😂

That casting choice wasn’t in the original Off-Broadway production of Assassins. The Balladeer and Lee Harvey Oswald wouldn’t be a dual-role until the 2004 Broadway production, with Neil Patrick Harris playing both roles.
@annorabelle2 ай бұрын
In the original workshop, it was Balladeer/Oswald. Then in the OOBC, they were separated again. Then put together again in the 2004 revival cast. I strongly prefer them combined because I feel it’s more powerful that way.

I'm not a 100% sure so don't "shoot me" for this, but when I did Assassins I remember that many of the harmonies weren't specifically written down in the score to who sings which harmony. Our musical director was very creative with it to build up a fuller sound compared to what was found in the score. I also seem to remember they had to re-work those harmonies for Unworthy of you Love to harmonize better. It could very well be that the way it s portrayed in this video, is the way it's actually written down in the score.

Pros: Steve Pasquale's take on Booth is one of the better ones I've seen. He's no Victor Garber, but then few are. Please tell me how Alex Brightman is so good as Zangara? I was not remotely expecting that. Victoria Clark (Sara Jane Moore) has a beautiful voice. That bit with the child at the end is masterful and should now be the norm for all shows going forward. The implications that Oswald's "sacrifice" did indeed preserve their legacy... *chef's kiss* Cons: Conlee could have had way more energy as Guiteau. I'm not saying he had to go full-on Denis O'Hare, but I'm pretty sure the actual historical individual was bipolar, so it would have been nice to see some of that instable mood/manic depressive in it. But then, I'm just going from the clip on here. OH MY GOD WHAT DID THEY DO TO LYNETTE FROMME. NONONONONO... Her name was literally "Squeaky" people, she was never meant to be an alto. And this is coming from a contralto who wishes she could sing Squeaky's parts. Fromme was never, and should never be lower than a mezzo-soprano. Transposing her part lower is awful. BLECH.

@avalasialove Жыл бұрын
Yeah, that’s Sondheim for ya. I like it, but I do agree that it’s a weird premise. The beauty of art is that it can be interpreted several different ways. From my perspective, it works as a testament to how the media tends to glorify criminals through the constant reports, biographies, documentaries, etc. But it’s entirely possible that I’m seeing something that’s not there.
