It seems like the actors always come out into the lobby  but the specifics of the bit can be left to the actors. The published script describes it as "Robert appears in auditorium/foyer and joins the queue for ice creams [the traditional intermission concession in the west end]. Chris appears and sends him back." When I saw the show in new York with the original cast, this bit was one where Robert and Dennis came out in "disguise" and started loudly praising

"Non-traditional" refers to an intention to cast an actor with different attributes than the scripted (or historical, if applicable) ones; "color-blind" refers to casting without any attributionalintention at all."

It should be noted that in my recent experience, color blind casting has, in fact, been challenged as dated - a recent production at a high level regional theater, for example, was criticized for casting actors of color only as the show'

How quickly they forget. Long before Les Mis Hathaway was constantly being talked about here as one of the few Hollywood figures with legit broadway-style pipes. Her whisper-singing in Les Mis does nothing to diminish that. Here's her singing Sondheim at the Hollywood bowl about 10 years ago, and a more recent example (with crappy sound, unfortunately) of her MORE than holding her own in a duet with one Kelli O'Hara at a Clinton benefit concert. She, or Amy Adams, would do just fine a

I believe Bernadette’s witch makeup on actual Broadway wasn’t as intricate as it was for the PBS recording, making it easier and fasterto run off stage and do a quick change while a body double took her place on stage with a hood upin the ugly witch garb."

Covered above; a body double performed the entire scene; Bernadette had about 9 minutes from the end of Stay With me to change from the ugly makeup to the glam Witch and get into place for the transformation

QueenAlice said: "...But I do think structurally, rhythmically, and content wise, the two songs are uncomfortably close. It’s as if the composer found one way to create a comedic number that worked in a very specific setting and couldn’t be bothered to build something that speaks to the very different setting of TOOTSIE."

I'd disagree, partially because of the reasons I outlined above, and partially because the song is so clearly a riff on the ne

QueenAlice said: "I enjoyed TOOTISE, despite Yazbeks's shockingly lazy score which, yes, seems to borrow (from all things) multiple tunes and themes from WOMEN ON THE VERGE. "Unstoppable" is uncomfortably close to "Microphone" and "What's Gonna Happen" does indeed feel like "Model Behavior." Maybe TOOTSIE should have been set in Spain."

I'll quibble with this: "What's Gonna Happen" and "Model Beha

So, the number one thing Trans people and trans women in particular have to fight every day  is the absurd idea that transwomen are men. Since they're men, it must mean that they are trying to gain access to women-only spaces like :sigh: bathrooms gasp pearl clutch won't someone think of the children. Oy. Anyway, because they have literally get accused of this kind of thing every day, it is REAL hard to make a story where a man pretends to be a lady for the purpose

Not using a show's go-to hair person because they're unfamiliar with the needs of African American hair seems like a totally legit complaint. But wanting to go to Philadelphia for a haircut seems...excessive. Haircare and styling is an incredibly complex and weighted topic of conversation in the African American community, so I don't want to put my foot in it here, but are you seriously telling me this guy had to go outside not just New York freakin city but the tri-stat

- The entire Cast of Play that Goes Wrong, and in particular Dave Hearn as Max. He gave some of the best clown work I have ever seen. He had a routine involving answering a phone with his foot that was one of the most technically impressive things I have ever seen, and his character's sheer joy at getting reactions from the audience was an unending series of on-the-floor laughter.

- Danny Burstein in The Drowsy Chaperone. Seth Rudetsky level of Obsessed with that performance.<

So, transcription below, but I don't think the sheet music has been published yet and I would not recommend doing this one to a track or a capella, it's nuts. 

If you want something similairly difficult/impressive look at "Model Behavior" from "Women on the Verge".

I'm gonna butt in here real quick to point something out, hope it doesn't ruin your "kids today" grumblings...the majority of the people writing these "What should I audition with" posts aren't Millennials. Some are, sure, but the VAST majority of these come from high school and college students, who are not considered Millennials because they're born after (LONG after sometimes) 1997. They're Gen Z. The majority of the actual Millennials on this b
