Darlings, I had to force myself to listen to this overly orchestrated, piercing and elongated sounding version of one of the score's best songs. Michele's rendition has no warmth or emotion save a desire to show off vocal pyrotechnics.
Judy Kuhn sang it originally on Broadway in 1988, and no one sings it better. I will prove it. You listen to both, and tell me which you like better
Here is Judy's version. Note the different orchestrations, and the warmer, moving tone. Judy shows HOW to sing this song, and how it SHOULD be sung!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
To think Aaron Tveit gave me so much hope, when I heard his "One Night In Bangkok." Now, Lea has gone and destroyed any hope I had for this revival.
Will someone get Jessie or Celia, please?????????????????????

Love Judy!! Unmatched!!
Is she still with us, do you know ?
Oh, yes, Judy is still with us, still performing. I think she is doing some kind of concert performance with a bunch of other Broadway stars.
