<< Dear Lloyd,
thank you for your explanation as well as the description on how the
definition of "legit" has been changing over the years. When referring to
the original definition, is that something which would be heard for example
in Porgy and Bess? I remember seeing that piece back in Munich when I first
started my interest in Musical Theatre, and I remember being quite surprised
to hear an operatic form of singing since most of the pieces I had seen
previously where pretty much the opposite, rather belted.
Best Regards,
Rocio Guitard

Porgy and Bess is an opera and not really a musical theater piece and is
usually sung in an operatic manner although many of the pieces have been
reinterpretted by other artists in a pop manner.
