My question is why elevating that minor performance into what they are saying it is. Christian Borle is an excellent actor and I would have expected the same pathos in the Baroness. The children were very good and are not even mentioned. I think many were out there to wreck Underwood's performance and what better way…

This is an interesting review. Laura Benanti was horrible. She was a nonentity. Eleanor Parker set the tone. She was a real woman. Laura Benanti was the opposite. The singing was not terrible, but she conveyed a Texas house wifey feel. Horrid.
