I don't understand the harsh criticism of La Chanze's performance here. This is a sped up version of the song, outdoors, and out of the context of the show. I saw her Sarah at the old Shubert Theater in Los Angeles and the house was in love with her.
haha no she wasn't. She had 4 shows under her belt by this point...including two leads (Marta in the Company revival and TiMoune in ...Island.) She just LOOKS fresh and young here is all..haha
This was the times when Broadway Leads had enough Gumption to IGNORE media.. and send out their Understudies to deal with/promote the show.. This is the reason why Broadway is no longer the legend it once was.. America just stopped caring..
Alton is a wonderful Coolhouse! He has beautiful tone.

LACHANZE AS SARAH!!!!!!! I'VE BEEN DYING TO SEE HER PLAYING THE PART.
Last December I saw Alton in Lion King (he was Mufasa) and if you can believe, he's gotten better with age.
Btw.. She was relatively new to Broadway here.. She won her tony for the color purple.

he's quite charming, she seems a little nervous or something

Actually they were full fledged replacements at this point. When Brian Stokes Mitchell and Audra McDonald played the leads they did all the promos.
It must suck to have to replace Brian Stokes Mitchell and Audra McDonald.
For some, perhaps; but not these two.
This is not the color purple lachanze... She's lackluster here.. Everyone has a Beginning. This was part of hers.
WRONG.
