I always thought Marla Schaffel was really beautiful, the beauty of her voice and physical features are intertwined. Like Donna Murphy as Fosca though, she knew she had a job to do, and physically let all that go in order to be plain Jane. The cast album with her and James is possibly the most beautiful musical theater recordings I own, the lyrics, the composition, the voices. Its a dream.
This musical and the book are amazing, the movies are always a let down though, so depressing. Movies can't capture the depth in the book, that is a fact.
Absolutely brilliant idea of putting free samplers of Broadway musicals on for promotional purpose! Didn't know such a show existed. Thanks so much for posting.
Does anyone else notice how much trouble she has with going flat? She does it a lot more on the cast recording than here...but it is rather bothersome in some spots. She's a fantastic performer, but the pitch problems are a distraction.
I wish this musical would be revived or put on tour again! I found out about this 11 years too late. :( :(
I saw the original cast on Broadway.. Probably my favorite SHOW that i have ever been to.. SUCH A redemptive and wonderful story..

An Alto belting voice, what a warm and soft tone and beside her an wonderful bartione...would like to see that musical in Europe.

OMG. If I were there, I'm sure I die. Oh, James and Marla! I want more videos!!!
Marla and James are fantastic! The music isn't doing the song proper justice but it's amazing to actually see them preforming it.
Al is not funny
but beautiful voices!
Thanks for posting this.
Ugh I just love his voice!!! But her accent through the entire musical drives me crazy!
I am surprised they did this song and not Sirens since James doesn't sing nearly as much as she does. But oh well!! :)
hahaha, OMG, When Roker was HUGE!
