Are you kidding? Dammit, that's bumming... I was hoping to see SPRING AWAKENING next week, with as much of the Original Cast intact...
I guess that's what happens when actors get other shows, huh?
Gideon Glick (Spring Awakening) and Susan Blackwell ([title of show]) will star in Speech & Debate, directed by Jason Moore as the Roundabout inaugural production of the company's new black box space. Speech & Debate will begin at the new 65-seat black box theatre space in the Harold and Miriam Steinberg Center for Theatre on October 5th, with opening night on October 29th.
He has the voice of an Angel--Will be very much missed. Until I see Blake and JBW together, i will not comment. But to say, the chemistry between Gideon and JBW will be hard to duplicate. I spoke to JBW about it recently and he said he will REALLY miss gideon, but they are all very proud of him. This is not farewell Gid, be seeing at "Speech & Debate"!
Chemistry is so important between these 2 actors.And in this show in gerneral. Gideon & JBW had something rare, they clicked. I saw Gerard as Hanschen, and it just didn't work. I do think however it would be just as hard to replace JBW, you need someone with the Blond Preditor thing going on...Gerard was sorely lacking. I saw Phoebe as Wendla, she was excellent, but her seens w/ JGROFF were just not exciting together.
Word of Your Body reprise just came on my player and it made me rather sad to think that Gideon was leaving... They did have a rare chemistry that worked so well with the given scene. He'll be hard to replace.
You guys that are going to his final performance will have to give the rest of us details! It will be a nice break from my torts case studies....
Anyone been yet? I know its early but I'm kinda curious on how Blake is. I haven't seen Glick live, but what I've heard and seen, he sounds awesome. Lets hope his replacement is just as good.
I want to apologize for some offensive messages posted on this board under my name. The night 0f 12-15-08 I did not have internet access, and someone had used my name to post something offensive. My avatar was also changed. I dont' know what else was posted, or if anyone recieved bad PMs, but I want to apologize for that. I've changed my password, and even though I was not the one posting these messages it still needed to be corrected.
I think Jonathan B. Wright will be even more difficult to replace. The role needs to be played by a light haired, innocent looking (on the surface) blond actor. This exterior makes the humor in his lines work so well and really catch the audience off-guard.

Oh sorry. I guess I mis-read some of the dates. If anyone sees him, please give us details. It'll be greatly appreciated. And I'll give you a unicorn. :)
