absolutely love the lighting at the end (kind of Vermeer with the Rev. Mother's profile lit), and Maria's expressions throughout are gorgeous.
Yes! I dunno, most stories where a big plot point is someone just "changing their mind", it doesn't feel like a turning point, it feels like plot and characters being wishy washy. But you can see Maria, I dunno, really soaking it up. Like she's really finding out who she is in those moments, not in a big startling epiphany way but a really calm, inner peace way. And so that scene feels like something really happened to me, even though nothing does.
I'll include them, so you can be climbed out :-)
Awesome! Thanks so much!
I do hope it makes it to the States, because that means another version of TSoM will be on stage and hopefully, another cast recording! I'm obsessed! I love them!!!
Hee! That's a reason I love you! I hope it comes to the US too! And try-outs for the Capt would be so awesome.
Other actresses playing her always seem to be trying too hard to either be like her or to be not like her, if that makes any sense.
Yeah, I know exactly what you mean. That seems to happen a lot with Hard Acts To Follow. I felt like Kiera Knightley's Elizabeth Bennet in the new Pride and Prejudice was like that, trying too hard not to be Jennifer Ehle's Lizzy.
Or Friedrich's less than emphatic "Oh hi" when you boot up.
bahahahaha!
Before I forget, I have the Jane Eyre Broadway cast recording. I can copy that too, if you'd like.
I actually own that. I bought it several months ago but I've been unable to get through the whole cd. Which is awful I know, but something about Jane and Rochester singing just sits wrong with me. I thought I was going to be able to get past that and into the story and so really enjoy it, but for the most part I just cringe. Oh well!
