*The high point Friday night was Hilty's rendition of "The Heart of the Matter"--such a thoughtful and honest song. It was a nice change from the Broadway material that filled most of the concert.
*Hilty actually played Galinda/Glinda for over four years. Her interpretation is ranked quite high, among fans. (Annaleigh Ashford also tends to rank high.) It would be nice if the Broadway community imposed a moratorium on cabaret renditions of "For Good"--maybe for the next five to seven years. Too much of a good thing....
*You have to wonder why, given all of the options in the catalogue, a Broadway performer would choose zero Sondheim numbers. I'm just saying.
*So, the best work of the series, if you ask me, came from Annaleigh Ashford. Not that everything has to be a competition. Check out Hilty's new spin on the work of Don Henley. See you back on PBS!
