I don't think these two moments are comparable... the Jenna in Waitress does not have the same amount of cultural significance and name recognition the Phantom of the Opera has...
They can try this strategy all they want but they're gonna need some other names to stunt cast if they want to keep the show running under Nicolette.
Just got home from the first preview and it was a hot mess.
I'll go into more detail in the morning but for now, I'll say what I was thoroughly disappointed by was the set design. I love David Rockwell's sets but this was easily his worst work to date. It looks like a cheap middle school production. To see him go from She Loves Me to this is depressing.
Loren is a brilliant Ti Moune. She's full of energy, has a powerhouse voice, and is a perfect fit for the role. Already booked a return to see her again!
I would love to see Lauren Ridloff as Cordelia! They would more likely than not get someone to be the "Voice of Cordelia" like they do in Deaf West productions. Since Cordelia is shut out for most of the play, having a deaf actress play the role could be symbolic of how the deaf community is largely shut out in society. Just a thought.
What a shame. She's one of, if not the best part of the show nowadays. Gives the performance of a lifetime. Can't wait to see what she does next and who will replace her!
This makes her the first black actress to play the role on Broadway!
I saw her today at the matinee and she was nothing short of fantastic. Worth every penny I spent to get a last-minute ticket! She's very different than Caissie but still

I was wondering if anyone knows when principles in Frozen’s contracts end? I want to catch Caissie Levy and Jelani Aladdin in the show before they leave but don’t want to buy tickets only to find out they won’t be there. Thanks!
