I think y'all may be getting a bit worked up over things that may not reflect what the actual production is going to be like on the stage. Broadway promo shoots and press are notoriously flashy.

London Bobbie ie Rosalie Craig was somewhat lost and even passive, at times. I think Katrina Lenk will bring in a Bobbie with a point of view, a sexual and sexually active woman who can be both dangerous, hot and threatening to all these men she's dating. Rosalie Craig's Bobbie was aloof, and I didn't quite get why all of these lovers and friends were so consumed with her.

Hence the refreshing change with a female lead; to see some innocence and vulnerability in the character. |

Correct - but I also think that's what made London Bobbi quite uninteresting, and certainly not to be believed as a New Yorker.
Rosalie had a homely quality to her, that I think the producers would want to avoid. I'm not pro or against her performance. There's been a lot of talk of Rosalie has kids so maybe she didn't want to move, or the producers wanted to cut on expenses. None of this could be true. This could have been a game-changer for her career. She's not the first mother who transferred a show, and producers, if interested in someone, could make a lot of arrangements that would make her transfer smooth. Baby sitters, bringing her kids to work..all of this would have been easily made available for her. They simply wanted to go with someone else.

The prospect of Clay Elder in his Calvin Klein's makes the ticket prices seem quite reasonable somehow.

Saw this today and thought the exact same thing. I think the NYC version will feel like a different show, especially as Bobbie has totally different style IMO.
Can't wait to see how they compare.

We're seeing it in April and, excited as I am, my other half loved Rosalie so much that I can't help being slightly scared for poor Katrina!

Lenk did quite nicely with the Philharmonic's New Year's Eve tribute to Sondheim (airing tonight in the States), singing both Losing My Mind and Could I Leave You from Follies.

I skimmed through it. I don't know..is it me or did she have a German accent while singing? She did seem to skip in and out of accent at times. There is some debate over at Broadway World as to whether this was intentional, a leftover variation from her from A Band's Visit accent, et al. It was definitely noticeable and I guess has some folks worried about her as Bobbi. |

I adored Lenk's version of Losing my mind as her take was so fresh and innovative. I think her Bobbie is going to be sensational

I hate to hijack this thread, but where has everyone watched the PBS Celebrating Sondheim concert with the New York Philharmonic? I would love to see it.

Are you on Facebook? There is a private group called Finishing the chat, A group dedicated to our Lord and master! Request to join. Really easy question to verify you and then the post for the concert is from from a chap called Viktor See you in Facebook land and Enjoy ☺ |

Apparently the Another Hundred People is an entirely new sequence using the company letters, and the end of act 1 is also different.
Someone on twitter mentioned it's like she's swiping on tinder in the AHP scene... will be interesting to find out more.
I can't be the only one dying to see this again?
