RUTHLESS Concerts in September

[JackiesBroJoe]

Heard a rumor Bernadette Peters was stepping in for the mother again. Anything confirmed?

The Triad is a cabaret. I saw the original Ruthless with Donna English and Laura Bundy about 10 times. That's no exaggeration. I never remember Bernadette stepping in for Donna English, that's not saying it didn't happen. I just thought I would have heard about it since I was always there. Britney Spears was Laura Bundy's understudy. I never saw her go on. It was one of the FUNNIEST productions I have ever seen. I never had so much fun in the theatre. I don't understand why there isn't, or has never been, a proper revival. It's awesome fun!

RUTHLESS! is a friggin' hoot! Here's from a staged reading at the Canon Theater in Beverly Hills in a benefit performance to raise money for the 1995 AIDS Ride L.A.

Wow thanks! But Donna English ROCKED that role!

[JackiesBroJoe]

Yes, I was referring to the LA concerts she did.

It seems this will be the new re-worked version the creators did in CT last year (in case anyone was interested).

Just Got tickets for this. Word is Marvin Laird is playing Sylvia and Joel Pailey is stepping in for 3 shows as Tina Denmark, I also heard that there are special cameo roles at the end of the show perhaps Bernadette? Im going on Sept 6th when Sophia Caruso is on as Tina. This kid seams to be everywhere, can't wait to see what all the buzz is about. http://www.broadwayworld.com/article/Sophia-Anne-Caruso-Marvin-Laird-More-Join-Cast-of-RUTHLESS-Benefit-Concert-20140818#.U_8vrkvIrjI

A few people I know seem to believe Bernadette is in fact involved. She has tweeted about it a few times. I'll be there on the 8th.

I'd almost bet money she is now. I had a TDF ticket for the last weekend but they sent me an email saying they had to cancel my ticket for that night.

wow...yeah sounds about right!
