I think the film actors taking to the Broadway stage has a lot to do with producers wanting to sell tickets with a bankable name. I agree with the above, no one wants to go out and suck- Julia Roberts hasn't been seen on Broadway since her debut, if I remember correctly, a lot of the reviews said her style of acting was too small to go past the footlights, while that is right for film, it's not the best for the stage. She had to do it to realize it was not ideal for her- we'
It just seems tacky to call out a fellow actress. Patti acts in film and television and she may come across Uma or her allies. Despite the fact she clarified it, the damage is done. She's old and wise enough to know better, but too young to get away with it ala Stritch- it's just not very becoming or professional. The ALW stuff seems to be old news, the horse is dead, let's move on- I'm sure Brightman has the same cordial relationship with him.
I don't think Lobby Hero has any set plan for what they do at the stage door- was there on Wed, Chris and Brandon signed (Chris was very quick and got as many as he could and was very kind) , Bel signed for one person on the opposite side of the barricade that asked her to- don't know if Cera ever came out, they definitely did not give any playbills to anyone.
Are they targeting ages though- the rule of thumb at most box offices is to make you show your ID to simply pick up tickets. However, with it being a 30 Under 30 program are they being extra vigilant- and at that point, what can they do not honor your ticket?
^ I'm almost positive Kritzer was an Understudy for that role- but I do remember this story, I think this was the one and only time she went on in the role.
I think this is the time period "End of the Rainbow" depicted? Please correct me if I'm wrong here. I pray they don't use Renee's limited vocal abilities for the soundtrack.
The cast is always as posted unless they call out for a any given reason. Given Klena's billing, it is unlikely that you will find dates he won't be in the show as he is not a "name" at this point in his career (sometimes social media helps with this info)- he is great in this! I'm seeing him again before he leaves too!
