When I got to perform the role, I didn't know what I would do with the character of Jamie. Having seen the show and listened to the recording, I could only think that Jamie is, above all, a self-centered asshole (I should have empathized with that!). Then I began to delve into the songs. "Schmuel," while interminably long in performance, is an acting joy to perform because I fully understood Jamie and his motivations then. He loved to write and tell stories...but he truly loves this woman, too.<BR/>And that's readily apparent in "...Believe..." I think it's THE pivotal song in the show, it clearly highlights his growing frustration with his wife's "stuck" syndrome and, I believe, the moment where he DOES give up on the marriage (she's accused him of it but I think he hasn't yet done anything...until that song).<BR/>I'm so glad you liked the show, especially the direction, since I thought Daisy Prince was a bit plodding or, in some cases, just clueless about what to do.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01778344471660521156noreply@blogger.com
