I was surprised most by Jenna Russell as Mary. I loathe her artificial, pretentious and sloooooooow sound on the "Sunday in the Park ..." revival recording, but she really didn't hit a false note in "Merrily."

In the opening scene, she spoke very deliberately and slowly.  At first, I wasn't sure if it was because that's the way she was going to portray the character or if that's just the way she was going to portray the character as drunk.  But when she started singing, she had no trouble with the quick lyrics.  Fortunately, it wasn't a problem after that first scene.

Yup...that's "Old Friends" from tonight's showing!

Jane, it is not a pocket camera. It is rather large. I can't take a picture of it because, well, I would be using it to take the picture.

You could take a picture of it in a mirror.  You could aim it so that you're not in the picture.

What was also very nice is that the sound (at least, in the theater where I saw it) was at a very comfortable level.  It never got very loud, nor too soft to hear.  I thoroughly enjoyed that aspect of it.

I thought at times that some of the staging was a bit static.  They just stood there and sang at each other, but probably with the small set, they couldn't do a lot of movement.  Just a thought.

I haven't heard if it's going to be released on Blu-ray or DVD or if DigitalTheatre.com is going to release it as a digital download.  I hope that it's released.
