Bad Theater Behavior Sep 10

Betrayal on Sunday: a couple cell phones/watch alarms, a fair amount of talking, some very loud cellophane crinkling during quiet moments. In one moment of silence, a woman sitting a few rows behind me said very loudly of Zawe Ashton, “SHE LOOKS JUST LIKE PRINCE HARRY’S WIFE.”

Yeah, when someone shows up with lube and condoms at the ready, I have to assume it’s not his first time at the rodeo.

Settled? Apparently not here. Gotta go sharpen my pitchfork and set a torch afire."
by settled, I assume he meant that it’s not rumor, which was a point of contention on the prior thread. Vereen owned up to his actions, so they are not in

Well, watching something on tape — even a professionally shot version — is not going to have the same impact as a live performance. That said, I’ve been using the library for almost 20 years and
The Distinctive Baritone said: "n2nbaby said: "I’m sure you’ll be in great hands. It would be more upsetting if Amber or Patrick or Andre we’re out."
Has Patrick been out yet? Hades is mostly spoke-sung, but having just a regular baritone (as opposed to a true bass) do it as the understudy must be a very different experience.

Yes, I know at least one person who saw the show with T. Oliver Reid as Hades. I d
Ramasar was awful in Carousel. Then he weaseled his way out of accountability for his bad actions on a technicality. This stinks any way you scratch it.

Generally, refunds are only made available if the person out of the show is above the title, which none of the Oklahoma cast members are.

When the show had its first run at Bard, the actress who played Ado Annie was able-bodied, so there has always been a version of the choreography and blocking for that. I believe both of Stroker’s understudies also cover other tracks, including Laurey and the ballet soloist.
whatdoesntkillme said: "Also, "regional premiere" doesn't mean the first regional production anywhere in the country. It means the first production in that region."
That is true in some cases. The person on this thread wrote “Boston is getting the regional premiere,” which implies the first production staged anywhere outside New York. As others have pointed out, that’s not the case.
Jordan Catalano said: "Has anyone “stage doored” this lately?"
No, but last weekend I was seeing Curse of the Starving Class, which has its intermission right around the time Happy Talk ends. I got up to use the facilities and Sarandon and Daniel Oreskes were already in the lobby by that time. Sarandon seemed to be greeting the people who spoke to her. I would say if you want to catch her, get to the lobby quickly after th

I assume this will transfer if it gets solid reviews, given the caliber of the people involved. The Atlantic is probably hoping it takes off in the same way The Band's Visit did.
I saw this at Williamstown a few seasons ago. The production -- assuming it's the same concept -- is just okay. A lot of weird video loops and pink flamingos all over the set for no reason. But Tomei is really sensational. I hope they bring back Chris Abbott -- he and Tomei had fabulous chemistry.
I hope Carlton sounds better when she actually takes over the role than she does in the promo video. Weak, flat singing and sounds nothing like Carole King.
