So honest question about change.org: Are these petitions submitted to anyone, or what is the result of them? How do they affect "change"? Is it just an awareness thing?
How crazy - the Honors are bestowed & taped tonight. Sesame Street is one of the recipients, and Caroll Spinney passed away this morning. I wonder if/how they will tribute him.
Other board is saying that Beth Leavel is Miranda, after a bigger star recently dropped out. Someone here also said that Leavel had big news that would come out soon.
I mean she'll be fine, but it's not the casting this role deserves.
A better look might be when she dropped into The Lion King a while back, and had no problem being physical and enthusiastic. (Likewise Forum, which is even longer back but shows what she is capable of when enthusiastic.)
These clip references are either 10 or 22 years old...
A few questions: Does Mrs. Doubtfire look like the film version of the character? Is there a full face mask for Mrs. Doubtfire? Is McClure using a similar Robin Williams-ish accent for Mrs. Doubtfire? Is there the famous cake face "Hello" moment? Are doubles used for Daniel or Mrs. Doubfire? Any major film storylines cut?
You can't just replace a conductor and lead on the fly, so most likely this was planned (would account for the longer intermission). I can imagine it was decided at the intermission, that at the point in Act II, the switch for both would occur.
Although why the switch didn't happen for all of Act II is perplexing.
I don't really know anything about the show, but they performed a song with the lyrics "all we want to do is hear that sound". What in the world are they singing about? It was very unclear what the "sound" was. Terrible & confusing way to promote the show.
Okay...don't bite my head off...but, now that I've seen both a couple of times....this is under the *SHOW* category, not actors in terms of who should have won....Come From Away should have won Best Musical.
It's still unbelievable that it lost Best Book to DEH.
