This was a wonderful treat to see that I had this morning. I'm just not a fan of Gina's Rosie and I was so eager to hear Natalie, especially after her At This Performance performance. She sounded absolutely great. She has a softer voice than Gina and really played Rosie for what the character seems like. She totally showed Gina up in singing, especially in Spanish Rose. I actually found it fun to listen to, unlike Gina who is actually painful and sad. Everything else was pretty much the same, except by now I'm getting tired of Bill Irwin and Jayne Houdyshell. It's like the opposite of an acquired taste, unacquired. They're both very consistent but it becomes a little much after awhile. Allie and Matt were both absolutely wonderful, and I like Dee Hoty's performance. I think she's quite underrated. As usual, I'm not impressed at all with John.
That's all for now!
