The ferocious Helene Yorke sings "Not Her Way" from TALES FROM THE BAD YEARS by Kerrigan/Lowdermilk. First off, the song--amazing. Like, such a great story song with subtext for days. Also, Helene is one of those performers that no matter what she's singing, I am always sitting on the edge of my chair. There's an almost dangerous quality to her. Especially because she looks so commercially beautiful on the outside, it's thrilling to see such a fire on the inside. When thinking of other people who have that same quality, Alice Ripley comes to mind. I mean, even while standing at a mic stand, reading from a score she's giving you drama.
