since brigid has grown a bit, her mother started working again, which left the little girl alone most of the time.

"At the Ballet" as heard on Jay Records's Broadway the Concert

music Marvin Hamlisch lyric Ed Kleban

performance Brigid Brady, Carolee Carmello, Debbie Shapiro Gravitte

--

Obviously DSG is the perfect Sheila (on disk).  Obviously.

But...Carolee doesn't play Maggie.  

I know.  I know.

 Maggie is sung by a Brigid Brady, whose most notable credit is a stint on Broadway as Phantom's Christine.  She does a very nice job with the Indian Chief monologue.  And she gives the big, climactic, "at the balleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet" the nice, light, heady mix we've all wished we could hear instead of that humdrum thrilling belt we're accostomed to.  

And Carolee Car-fucking-mello was RIGHT THERE.  I mean, I just don't understand how the following conversation DIDN'T happen:

Whoever Made This Decision: Okay, so.  Debbie will do Sheila, OBVIOUSLY.

DSG: Obviously.

WMTD: And Carolee will do Bebe and Brigid will do Maggie.

CAROLEE: Um..

WMTD: Yes Carolee.

CAROLEE: I just--I mean, it's not my place, but--it's just that, well--isn't Maggie the one with the big climactic belty high note?

WMTD: Yes.

BRIGID: Oh.  But then why am I--I mean, I'm like an semi-Operatic Soprano

WMTD: Yes, I know.  I hired you.

BRIGID/CAROLEE: To play Maggie?

WMTD: ...yes.

DSG: Oh for Christ's sake, pull your head out of your ass and switch the damn girls!

 Carolee does have fun as Bebe (especially on "very very personaaaal flair").  And Brigid gives a sincere and endearing performance.  But COME ON.
