Why is everyone so mean? Bailey was a good elle, sorry to say but no one here is a Broadway casting agent, she was picked for a reason, and she was good. She isnt LBB, but NO ONE is LBB, okay? She tried to make it her own, and she did. Can you people, stop?
BAILEY IS SO TALENTED!!!! SHE CAN HIDE HER ACCENT LIKE THAT BUT SHE ADDS HER OWN FLAIR TO ELLE WOODS JUST LIKE LBB BUT PEOPLE KEEP COMPARING THEM AND THAT MUST BE SO HARD FOR HER.... I THINK SHE DID GREAT!!!!!!
i get it that everybody loves LBB, and I do too. but imagine the pressure Bailey must feel when she takes over a role that already have such big standards. Personally, i think bailey did an amazing job as Elle. Laura was amazing as Elle, she IS elle, and she will probably always be. But still, I think we should appreciate what Bailey does, even if she's not as good as Laura, she's still amazing.
i don't feel a connection between elle and emmett in this one. in the laura version they seemed like they actually liked each other but christian seems 100% annoyed with bailey in this one
Well judging by the apparent affair between laura and christian that ended christian's marraige, there was a genuine connection between those two, don't think it could be matched by and him and bailey
yeah i would have to agree. i think that when your acting in a show you should really be in the moment like right then right its actually happening to you and i feel like she just gives out all the lines without really feeling them.
You can see Christian genuinely didn't enjoy preforming with Bailey. I mean, obviously it's rumoured there was an affair between him and Laura, but don't you think he still would've given it more if it was anyone else? She is honestly the worst Elle I have seen.
Everyone needs to stop hating on Bailey. She got the part for a reason. None of you are professional broadway starts and directors so you really have no say in it. Of course she’s not like LBB (Laura Bell Bundy) because every actor and actress has to make it their own and that’s the fun in acting. Bailey makes a great Elle and if she didn’t I don’t think Jerry would have chosen her for the part now do you? Honestly if you don’t like it then oh well because Bailey is Elle weather you guys like it or not
if I hadn't seen christian and laura together and experienced their chemistry, I wouldn't have anything against this performance. BUT... Bailey seemed like a bratty little kid and Christian seemed like it was everything he could do to get through the show each night.
@devxo4 Lol yea right, i hope that was a typo, dont use that stupid pun unless your talking about Laura Bell. I love Bailey but shes not as good as Laura Bell...at all.
Most people who can play Elle (the bubbly, energetic, effervescent woman) have lighter voices reflecting their lighter personalities. Makes it hard to really belt. This is actually a pretty belty voice for that type of woman.
her acting sucked balls but her singing was good-ish Laura will always be the best Elle. OK i was being nice this girl is not Broadway material. she isn't terrible but she isn't ............good. :P
Bailey really fell flat. I'm surprised because I heard she was good. She just wasn't funny here (except near the end) and she had zero chemistry with Christian.
