^Right? That’s how I felt when I saw the show in New York this spring, I began weeping when Stephanie J. Block kicked it in to high gear and raised the bar of how sensational a tap dance can be. I went back 3 weeks later on the night before closing! Glad you enjoyed the show!
I saw the tour in November. I thought Rachel York was awful and totally wrong for the role. I am usually a fan of hers too. I loved the show when I saw it on Broadway, but the tour did nothing for me.
I saw Rachel as Reno two weeks ago at the Ahmanson. I really enjoyed her performance. Granted I'd never seen the Broadway production (other than of course the title number on the Tony Awards broadcast). I like the purity of Sutton's voice in most situations but I think I preferred Rachel's voice for the character.
