Is the song the girl in 14g by kristin chenoweth composed by jeanine tesori lyrics by dick scanlan from a Broadway show?

Answer 1

"I'm fairly certain that it was a song from thoroughly modern millie. Kristen chenowith played milllie in the workshops, but gave the role up for her own sitcom. but the song was cut because sutton foster didn't have the training or the range necessary for the song. she's a mezzo and the song requires a true soprano (i can't remember the term..starts with a c) with belt."

There are a couple of problems here. I've never found any validity on the question of "Girl in 14G" being cut from Thoroughly Modern Millie. The song doesn't really fit anywhere in the show. For one, the music, despite being written by the same composer, does not fit the music style of the show. Also, the "Girl" does not fit the bill for "Millie." The "Millie" character, for example, would not be reading Jane Austen novels.

Nevertheless, even if it was cut, it could not have been because of Sutton Foster's lack of coloratura training (that's the word you were looking for).

The reason? Erin Dilly was the original creator of the role. Sutton was picked out of the chorus right before previews began and took over the role.

The Girl in 14G remains a mystery.

No. Girl In 14G was NOT from Thoroughly Modern Millie. It wasn't written for this show at all. It's a stand alone piece. It was written specifically for Kristen Chenoweth. That's the reason why she's so perfect for the song because it's exactly in her range. And she was trained in Opera as well which explains the girl in 13G.
