I totally agree, Ervina, this is a terrific interview and it was really, really pleasant to listen to someone who truly does "get it" and knows what she's talking about.ERinVA wrote:That was an excellent review. It's nice to listen to someone who knows what she is talking about.
This line reminds me of the scene in the movie where Jamie looks in the mirror in the locker room trying to keep it together as a tough guy before slouching his shoulders and running off.maria wrote:[Noah] is a sweet kid trying hard to be tough, but he can't quite pull it off - I mean, Noah's Billy can't quite pull off the toughness, thanks to Noah's great acting!

She enunciates so clearly that every word she says is easily heard and understood. She also has wonderful timing... As one example, when Billy says "me mum's dead," Debbie will often rush "oh... See ya then" but not Samantha - she says the "oh" then waits enough time that you know she is thinking about what to say next, can't figure out what to say, and then bows out. This is just one small example of how she milks the timing - a great little actress! Bravo Samantha!
This is a great review, but she also points out something that is not often mentioned in reviews. She says that she attended the opening night in Baltimore with three generations of her family, and they all had something to enjoy. We do not mention enough the universal appeal of BETM to all generations.BEtourfan wrote:Here's a radio review of the show on podcast.

LOVED this! And what a nice surprise to hear the DJ say his parents have seen the show 4 times already too. For those of us who keep going time and time again, it's a wonderful reality check to the average theatre-goer out there that seeing a show multiple times is not such an unusual or strange feat! If it's a great show, you SHOULD see it again and again!BEtourfan wrote:Here's a radio review of the show on podcast.
