Broadway Divas Tournament: Round 2A Audios

New round, all new audio (more or less). In combing through my 58 GBs of personal audio bootlegs, here's a taste of what our favorite Divas can sound like live.

Six more audios to follow

L to R (back row): Mrs. Jayne Herron, HM The King, Mr. David Herron L to R (seated): HM The Queen Dowager, HRH The Prince of Romilly, HRH The Princess of Romilly, HRH Princess Matilda of Romilly, HM The Queen

The infant princess, born July 26, 1999, was christened Matilda Elizabeth Laura Jane. The names are presumably in honour of Queen Matilda (r. 1547 - 1613), various members of the royal family, HM The Queen (1956 -), and both Queen Jane II (r. 1909 - 1918) and the Princess of Romilly's mother Mrs. Jayne Herron.

The macabre musical ‘Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber Of Fleet Street’ massacred moviegoers this day 15 years ago. #OTD 💈🩸🔥

Attend the Tale of Sweeney Todd. Ach, nein hier ja nicht. Im Gegensatz zu meinen nicht so Sondheim-affinen Kollegen, die den Film mit “Prima Film, aber warum singen sie?” kommentieren, frage ich ja eher “Warum singen sie nicht alles?” Sie verstehen auch gar nicht, warum ich so eine lange Pause zwischen “Fleet” und “Street” mache. Als verspäteter Geburtstagsfilm zum 60. (doch au scho wieder) von Johnny Depp (am 9.) ist Tim Burtons zwar balladenlose, und nicht gar so schön gesungene (aber das hatten wir schon), doch prächtige Verfilmung natürlich ganz hervorragend.

i’d make a male actor equivalent to this but i think we all know who’d win and his name rhymes with chimothee talamet

(i myself would vote for bob odenkirk but whatever)

Broadway Divas Tournament: Round 1A Audios

Ahead of the Broadway Divas Tournament commencement later this evening, I have compiled a small collection of personally-recorded audio bootlegs pertaining to our first sixteen Divas. Unfortunately though my 55 GB folder of audios may be vast and varied, it is exhaustive, so apologies to those I have never seen (Cherry Jones Jan Maxwell, and Janet McTeer), and to those in two separate productions of Cinderella that I have since lost (Paula Leggett Chase and Rebecca Luker).

(Turns out there's a ten-audio limit, so see the reblog for Patricia Clarkson who's going to be all by her lonesome unless I can find those damn Cinderella bootlegs from over a decade ago.)

what makes burton's sweeney not as good as it could have been is that half of the actors were not hired because they were good singers but because they were notable actors.

12 Dates of Christmas (2011) 

We have a Groundhog Day situation, but with yuletide fun!

Kate Stanton (Amy Smart) is a woman with a plan this Christmas Eve. She is going to get her ex boyfriend Jack (Benjamin Ayres) back, get married, and live happily ever after. She explains all this to her best friend Miyoko (Laura Miyata) after she calls Jack asking when she can see Max, his dog that she sometimes watches still I guess? I know that I'm an intense pet parent, but I wouldn't trust any exes with my dogs. Anyway, so Kate is shopping for a Christmas gift for Jack when she gets spritzed in the face with perfume and passes out. She comes to pretty quickly, and rushes off. On her way back to her apartment, she runs into her neighbor Margine (Jayne Eastwood) who has baked her a cherry chip loaf. Which honestly sounds great. Cherry chip is my dad's favorite, so I might have to look up a recipe for it.

Once Kate gets home and changed, she heads to a blind date set up by her dad Mike (Peter MacNeill) and his significant other Sally (Mary Long). When she arrives at the bar, the first person she meets is a nerdy looking man named Toby (Joe MacLeod), but he's waiting for Phyllis. Then she meets her actual date, Miles Dufine (Mark-Paul Gosselaar). However, Kate is so sure that it won't work out that it's a terrible date. She is rude to Miles and leaves early to go meet Jack. However, Jack brings his new girlfriend Nancy (Jennifer Kydd). Kate is upset, but still takes Max and heads to her dad's house for dinner, and then goes to bed like normal.

When she wakes up, it's still Christmas Eve and she's on the floor of the department store again where she woke up after getting spritzed. She doesn't do the same thing every time she wakes up there, but that's almost all the people she interacts with every time (there's also a neighbor couple and a teenager, but they aren't every day).

For me, Kate was a frustrating protagonist because she was very high strung. It's also a little frustrating that every time she is rude to Miles, he's never willing to hear her out. She doesn't always try to explain or apologize, but when she does, he still walks away. Which, like, good for you for knowing your worth, but also, miscommunication happens. Especially with people who don't know each other very well.

Overall, I think the acting and production quality is here, but the story falls a little flat. It's fine, but nothing special. I probably won't watch it again. 2.5 stars.
