yes, this exactly. i should not have left there feeling like i could have done more interesting arrangements of DD songs for that orchestra. honestly, i felt if she just would have played less piano it would have worked better. her parts are meant to fill up all of the musical space on their own, which they do very well, but you don't need to do that when you have 80+ other musicians on stage with you. i just felt like the piano was trampling the orchestra most of the night. i was really hoping for some cool symphonic versions of their songs, but what we got was an amanda solo show with some extra instruments.
it just feels like someone smarter than i am should have thought of this.
