      She does however hit the "he don't condescANNND" note the way Ellen does and for that she gets extra points. Lol I judge every Audrey by how they hit that one note

    Love how the director has chosen to stage it in this production - with Seymour joining Crystal, Ronette and Chiffon's tableau at the song's climax. Audrey left alone center stage in her own spotlight as she realizes she can "learn how to be more the girl that's inside me." Really made me hear the song differently. Just stunning.

    Joy has made this her own. She’s effortlessly singing but what an impact. The altered not at “Learn how to be more …” brought me to tears. The apex has always been the preceding “can,” but “LEARN how to be more …. “. Just thrilling. Wish I could get to NYC when she’s on.

    Great voice. I did not know what to expect. She didn't sing with that 'gritty' downtown poor girl voice. No accent ( I did not feel much emotion for the character. However, she came into her own when she brought that 'southern gospel soulful belting out loud' vibe. That was the emotion I was looking for. I am not sterotyping, but I see her 'Audrey' as a girl from the south, brought up in the church and gospel music. She and her mother escape to the big city for a better life, but don't succeed; but finds security in her gospel upbringing. That is the interpretation, I'd like to see. Just my 2 cents.
