i always burst into tears when she goes "and i'd be ME for an entire LIFE"

+hayleypdowd Me too. The sad part is there's a lot of truth to the song. Women had so few opportunities in that generation and leaving an abusive relationships was incredibly difficult (not to suggest that its easy now).

Ann Emery is one of the most extraordinary people I've ever seen performing. Especially in the theatre - she's magnetic! "Where's me pasty!" *much sniggering*

ANN EMERY is fantastic! Nobody plays grandma likes her. it brings tears to my eyes every time I watch this act, and I have seem many other ones. So hurry up and get to see her on stage again as ANN EMERY is back to The West End playing Billy's grandma.

I find it interesting the different actor's different portrayals of this story. I really like the different styles of acting and even the slightly different lines and actions. I love that new actors can come in to a story already told so well and make it their own and make a new experience for new audiences.

@BTURNER19617 жыл бұрын
Yes an extraordinary performance, but lets not forget the writing, and choreography. This lyric captures two themes rarely addressed in song, and some very vivid characters. The slow moving foreward of the men, with their chairs in a bar, and then dancing with Emery as if the memory were dreamlike and surreal. the cumulative and collaborative talents of the performer, the lyricist and the choreographer make this a memorable and multi-layered work of art.

I do have to agree with what many people have said, the way the Broadway production is staged (especially as far as grandma's song goes) is far superior.
@SoccerLoverJay13 жыл бұрын
idk where this is, but in my opinion, the Broadway production was so much better! The lights and setting made everything seem dream-like- you felt like you were actually there. The way the lights are here makes it more difficult to believe the shift from "real life" to reminiscing.
