According to IMDB, they had to bring Bernadette back in to dub her own performance, because she was too overcome with emotion in the one originally recorded. I wish they had included the original as a bonus scene or something on the DVD.
If it was true that they dubbed parts, it's obvious that the dubbing starts when she turns downstage at 2:35 and sings. It's a bad edit/dub, her voice sounds completely different, more pointed and nasal, and obviously done on a different day in a different ambient acoustic. Nowadays recording technology and software can make the dub more seamless.
(I know I'm a couple years too late and I may be wrong BUT) The Spotify version sounds pretty emotional. I think that's the closest one can ever come to hearing the one like in this performance.
One of my favorite scenes in all of American musical theatre. Peters was phenomenal in this show. In my opinion, it was her best work--and the role for which she should have been given the Tony.
This duo is hands down one of my favorites that I have ever seen perform. Bernadette and Mandy ... true gold watching them perform. I wish there was more.
“I am unfinished i am diminished with or without you.” Experiencing this with a man who was my George. I know it’s right for us to be apart but I still feel unfinished without him.
[[Dot]] Yes, George, run to your work. Hide behind your painting. I have come to tell you I am leaving because I thought you might care to know-foolish of me, because you care about nothing- [[George]] I care about many things- [[Dot]] Things-not people. [[George]] People, too. I cannot divide my feelings up as neatly as you, and I am not hiding behind my canvas-I am living in it. [[Dot]] What you care for is yourself. [[George]] I care for this painting. You will be in this painting. [[Dot]] I am something you can use. [[George]] I had thought you understood. [[Dot]] It's because I understand that I left, That I am leaving. [[George]] Then there's nothing I can say, Is there? [[Dot]] Yes. George, there is: You could tell me not to go. Say it to me. Tell me not to go. Tall me that you're hurt, Tell me you're relieved, Tell me that you're bored- Anything, but don't assume I know. Tell me what you feel! [[George]] What I feel? You know exactly how I feel. Why do you insist You must hear the words, When you know I cannot give you words? Not the ones you need. There's nothing to say. I cannot be what you want. [[Dot]] What do you want, George? [[George]] I needed you and you left. [[Dot]] There was no room for me- [[George]] You will not accept who I am. I am what I do- Which you knew, Which you always knew, Which I thought you were a part of! [[Dot]] No, You are complete, George, You are your own. We do not belong together. You are complete, George, You all alone. I am unfinished, I am diminished With or without you. We do not belong together, And we should have belonged together. What made it so right together Is what made it all wrong. No one is you, George. There you agree, But others will do, George. No one is you and No one can be, But no one is me, George, No one is me. We do not belong together. And we'll never belong-! You have a mission, A mission to see. Now I have one too, George. And we should have belonged together. I have to move on.
