...this unlucky point, a problematic storytelling tactic if you've cast Buscemi in the lead. We completely expect him to be a semi-hysterical mess standing under the unflattering glow of fluorescent lights. He was perfectly cast as Templeton the rat in Charlotte's Web and as Tony Soprano's shiftless, foolish cousin in The Sopranos. Not to mention Carl Showalter, aka, the wood-chipper victim, in Fargo.

And Jon Stewart - who shares New Jersey home-state ties with Springsteen - drew laughter with his dry humor before performances by Sting, Sugarland's Jennifer Nettles, Pearl Jam's Eddie Vedder and Melissa Etheridge, among others...
Medefind also gives a very effective performance as Aline. The role offers limited dramatic opportunities, but Medefind’s light yet textured soprano brings great charisma to the part, especially in the song “My Kindly Friends/Happy Young Heart.” Selowsky shines as Lady Sangazure, combining vocal agility with dramatic sensitivity. Her rich timbre and mature legato stand out particularly in her aria “My Child, I Join in These Congratulations” and her duet with Sir Marmaduke, “Welcome...
