blues2broadway:

Audra McDonald singing Maybe This Time. Her phrasing in the last verse, particularly the last two lines, can be used in a masterclass. I last heard this song sung by Liza Minnelli methinks, and before that Patti Lupone. Minnelli plays it wistful with raspy age, Lupone does hers rich in bitterness. Mcdonald appears to have gone for hysterical desperation.

        SCENE: LET'S FIND OUT HOW PEOPLE WRITE MUSICALS.


                              CHRISTIAN BORLE
        So I'm going to take this stack of cards naming all the 
        songs we've written, shuffle them, toss them at a wall, and 
        we'll do the musical in whatever order they stick.


                              AND GRACE
        Well yes, that is exactly how good musicals are written. 


                              Christian Borle and Debra Messing break
                              character and snicker.


                              ANDREW LLOYD WEBBER
                      (also snickering)
        Ha ha...
        Hey what are we all laughing at?
