She definitely added her own spin, didn't copy other previous Audreys and added manyfun comedic bits. It killed me that she greeted the Urchins as "Hi Crystal, Hi Ronnette" and then a vicious scowling "Hi Chiffon", like there was some backstory or rivalry that I really need to know about.
The transposed score for her was so obvious and kept jumping keys randomly throughout.
But it was definitely fun to see her interpretation, and I'm grateful to the show for their progressive and fun casting choices."
Oh the key issue is something I wouldn't have guessed. When she's sung Hedwig, she's done it up a bit but jumped octaves a lot. Is the music regularly changing keys for her or is she just jumping octaves a lot?

I could be wrong, but it seemed like several of the songs had random key changes that were not there before.

That video of Jinkx is just lovely. Nothing sounds funny about the keys of that song, but maybe it's in other parts of the score?
She seems like her interpretation is the closest to Ellen Greene so far in this production, and she seems to have found the same kind of balance between humor and sincerity.

I haven’t seen the production since the original cast pre-pandemic- have subsequent Audreys kept Tammy Blanchard’s idiosyncratic take on the character as being somewhat… drugged?
"...everyone finally shut up, and the audience could enjoy the beginning of the Anatevka Pogram in peace."

That video above is really rather wonderful. Her take is both heartbreaking and earnest. Sad I’ll won’t have the chance
Well I didn't want to get into it, but he's a Satanist.
Every full moon he sacrifices 4 puppies to the Dark Lord and smears their blood on his paino.
This should help you understand the score for Wicked a little bit more.

she wore that same black feathered headdress to see Patti LuPone at Carnegie Hall, and i felt so sorry for the person sitting behind her. Luckily it wasn't me :)

Thankfully not. I’ve seen Jinkx, Lena and Joy. None of them acted like they were drugged, spun around and hit in the head with a shovel before performing.

The only thing missing from Tammy’s Audrey was a ln animated ring of tweety birds circling around her head.

I want Anyone Can Whistle to get the Merrily treatment and I want Jinkx as Mayoress Cora Hoover Hooper so bad.
