{ As a partial answer to the thing you asked ages and ages and ages ago twosiesbeatsonesies about Emma's Sally, (I haven’t forgotten, I promise! Just have too much to say!), one of the biggest changes made for Emma coming into the role - and quite possibly the one that annoys me the most - is Sally’s relationship with Max. Where Michelle (and now Sienna) were/are threatened by Max both verbally and physically, Emma’s Sally plays it all as a big joke. He doesn’t threaten her physically, and she laughs the verbal stuff off as ‘Oh that Max isn’t he silly.’ rather than in any way that is slightly realistic or in keeping with the character. And before anyone tells me that this is just her interpretation, her interpretation is wrong. This is a man who holds her livelihood in the palm of his hand, and that she has - at the very least - put a good deal of effort into sleeping with to keep this job. No amount of 'I'm so happy-go-lucky look at me i'm Sally Bowles!' can change that. Emma isn't playing it subtley, she's not playing it at all.

Emma is like Teflon Sally. Nothing sticks to her. And yes, the character is supposed to be like that to an extent, but not to the point where the only real emotion that escapes at any point is during the title song (and even then it's a great big overacted mess. She appears to have no ability with subtlety). What's kind of terrible is that Emma had all these changes made so she could be more like Natasha, but all indicators so far appear to show that Sienna is probably closer (and Michelle played a Sally that was all her own, and yet ever so close to Isherwood's Sally). Anyway, I shall be quiet now. }
