I'd be pretty disappointing if I showed up to the theater and found out just before the show that this is what I was getting instead of Laura Belle.

I actually like her not-so-hyper character. She actually throws in moments of comedy but doesn't act like a total spaz the whole time. Also because she is being SO hyper and SO crazy on stage, she has the ability to produce stronger and HEALTHIER vocals. I really love Haven's performance, it's just so consistent. :)

@thatrandomgirl4574 3 жыл бұрын

She reminds me of the dutch elle she's also way calmer but still gives humor and energy

@ava8340 2 жыл бұрын

I agree with most of that, however I don't think the not-so-hyperness works so well for the character. For example, the song Serious works because he doesn't like that she's so all over the place and hyper and extroverted - and if she has less of that then I think it makes less sense. But it's still an incredible performance and no less good than the others. Some of Haven's little singing moments and mannerisms are so perfect and she is obviously more than good enough if she got the role

@prcs420 Жыл бұрын

@@ava8340 i think it's just more reminiscent of the movie elle! and serious has less to do with her being "hyper" and more to do with his perception of her as ditzy and a dumb blonde. i know you made this comment a really long time ago, just wanted to offer a different perspective!
