They were doing that! They asked to interview me, but I politely declined because I knew they didn’t want someone to say the show was meh and not something they felt totally invested in. Get the happy smiling people who had a great time.

I’ve only seen a few mid-show replacements, but my favorite was during the revival of Hair. Caissie Levy left the show about halfway through the second act due to illness. She had left at a natural moment, but instead of stopping and announcing an understudy would be finishing the show, they just had the understudy, Nicole Lewis, who was on stage finish the show. But because of the nature of the show, they couldn’t just pretend this new person was Sheila. So they used her “Tribe Name” (I think i
So many cringe-worthy statements in this post, but as it frequently is, Lizzie has come through as a voice of reason: you can’t just walk into places and start digging around for stuff. It’s one thing to step in to the theater and ask a staff member for a playbill, but it’s something totally different to enter the auditorium and start your own scavenger hunt.
I’ve heard that rumor as well, Rainah. When he came back as Burr, it was never intended to be long term. I saw him as King George and he’s a very versatile actor. He could successfully play 3 or 4 of the male leads in Hamilton. I can see him being part of the global companies for a while.
Overall, I really enjoy the names associated with this cast. I’d enjoy it more if we knew who was playing who.
Andrew Samonsky is a genuinely good guy I’m glad I’ve had the chance to work with. Great dude to hang out and have a beer with. Funny as all hell and makes people comfortable. Sadly, his genuine nature and attitude don’t translate on to the stage. He’s really, really...one dimensional on stage.
GeorgeandDot said: "Just a really rude comment on Umphress, who is super gorgeous and curvy in all the right places. She's a great performer and it sucks to me that her entire performance is basically ignored to focus on the shape of her body as if it is her only defining factor. Can we stop acting like actors need to look a certain way? Can't we just have humans onstage telling human stories? I like seeing curvy, plus-sized, and overweight actors onstage because they have st
I saw the show last Wednesday, which seems to have been a hoppin’ day for BWWers at the Moulin Rouge. A lot of my feelings have already been addressed, so I’ll just add where I feel necessary.
I can’t not begin with the visuals because when you first walk into your seat, it’s so in your face. It can be a bit much if you’re not expecting it and I did hear a few people comment that the lights were too bright or that it felt like too much, but I pers
It’s not body shaming. The author didn’t make a comment about Alysha Umphress being a larger woman and explaining (to them) that’s disgusting and doesn’t belong on stage. What Ms. Collins-Hughes did, however, was make a totally unnecessary and flat out rude comment about an actress in the production—not a character or the costume designer, who seems to be who she really has issue with.
This is the whole statement involving the mention of Umphress:
On a related topic. As I mentioned above, I'm old. It's become increasingly tough to keep up with lingo and online terms... Could the enthusiastic fans be called "stans?" "
Some of the Be More Chill fans can absolutely be considered stans.
Gary was a very talented performer and I consider myself luck that I was able see him perform so many times in my young life. Peace and best thoughts to his husband and family at this time. He will be greatly missed.
First thing I thought of was PThespian, too :) The show had a good solid run—not many shows get 3 years these days and it had a role on Broadway. It helped get Brightman the attention he deserved and it opened doors for a lot of kids. Good run for a show that succeeded at being fun.
I like the idea of Smash-era Katherine McPhee. But that was 6 years ago and I think she’s just too old now. She’s 34 already and while she reads younger, I don’t think she reads intern age young.
I suspect Andy will be a young up and comer our a total fresh face. With a name Miranda and solid supporting cast, the producers can focus on using the name recognition of the show and the Elton John connection to draw people in.
If you’ve got the money and time to do it, it’s really no sweat off my back. Go for it. I have bigger issues with the fans who think that because their tweet of instagram comment got a reply that they’re truly friends with the actor and allowed to invade their lives.
I work with someone who swears they saw Kirk Cameron as Jean Valjean. I’ve tried to tell her it’s was a joke from Family Guy and her husband is teasing her, but no, she is certain that she saw Kirk Cameron as a Jean Valjean on tour 20 years ago.
I want to laugh because even if it wasn’t an absurd joke from a TV show, Kirk Cameron is such a random person to claim you saw as Jean Valjean.
My aunt also really convinced that Meatloaf was playing Count Fos
