ACL2006 said: "Since Oh, Mary isn't doing inserts, is Sean Peter Forte listed in the Playbill as a standby(since Julian is on vacation this week)?"
He is not listed in the Playbill, It is still Manjerico, with Hannah and Martin also listed.
I think they will probably just put the notification on the Playbill cast changes website if he happens to be on.
To also answer inception’s cheeky question/lowkey stalking my Instagram - It&rsqu

I’m glad I got a subscription because I saw the TDF price and it was the same as the standard Broadway musical - which I never recall being the case before. I’m going to the final show on the 15th

Okay - catching up:
Stage Door: I’m not sure. The first night, they usually have a toast for the new cast after the show and then people either leave or sign. I wouldn’t use the first night as an indicator of stagedoor habits.
Madcap Medley: Nothing added, and I think that’s on purpose. I remember Jane saying they were considering adding in “Muffin Man” for her, but ultimately ruled against it. I wouldn’t expect them to modify the madcap

The other Oh, Mary reviews thread has mysteriously disappeared into the ether, so I’ll start a new one with JCM and Simu’s first night.
To make a long story short, JCM is, as expected, is absolutely phenomenal, and it starts immediately from the jump. They stormed through the doors and went into a front somersault to the lip of the stage like Willy Wonka on meth. From that point, I was already won over. They spent the entire show playing with voices, expressions, and would

I’ll post more later, but sweet Jesus this was a rip-roaring success.
My prognostication was correct - it was basically Mason’s take, but with a LOT more Jinkx in it, and peppered with a lot of Hedwig affectations.
Basically, once JCM made their entrance by storming through the door and then going into a forward tumble like Willy Wonka on meth, I was sold.

They have been very smart in casting. Every Mary is going to have its fans and detractors. Personally, I found Tituss to be the only one so far who truly deflated the proceedings and forced Phillip and Chris to really do heavy lifting

Plus, Hannah has a few dates as Mary(April 7 & 18 and the 2pm performance on April 19). Forte was brought back two weeks ago."
Does Sean cover Mary's teacher now as well? or just the assistant?"
Per the Playbill, if Julian is on vacation, then Sean

BoringBoredBoard40 said: "Anyone going to John Cameron Mitchell and Simu Liu’s first show tomorrow night?"
I am. Haven’t missed an inauguration day since Jinkx’s first one. What I am hearing inside is to expect a performance that is very serpentine, with venom. Judging by that assessment, I’m going to guess they are going to be very similar to Mason, peppered with Jinkx.

Highly accurate and absolutely fantastic. It was a cross between a dowager and a demon, and every comedic bit was wrung out to maximum effect.
One dialogue change I noticed was actually a line they’ve since cut from Broadway, but added back. After the “Don’t Interrupt” bit, they added back Abe’s line “Take the acting lessons, you f*****g moron.”

British theatre loves to take the piss out of Americans in small ways and large ways - examples like Willie Watkins in MINCEMEAT being treated as an overly chipper and goofy American pilot, or their love of HEATHERS, which the cast I saw in 2023 said some of the d

If you count understudies, Martin Landry is straight.

A Marvel star AND one of the hot Ken dolls from the Barbie movie?! With each new casting, we stay FED!
Also, Tony Macht is gonna stay with this show until the ships goes down. He will be 80, the newest Mary hasn’t been born yet, and it will still be running.

They have more than enough profit where they can get into more experimental/niche casting like this. If Hannah can go on as Mary for two weeks and no noticeable dent in sales is made, I could see JCM doing million-dollar business as well. It also has the added bonus of not having to contend with a swarm of buzzy new shows opening in the Spring to compete against it. They also still have other new casting to announce as well (though I know John-Andrew is staying on through JCM’s run)

They actually just did GOOD SEX with Elliot Page for one night out in Brooklyn - and that play wasn’t rehearsed, it was live with inner ears used to feed lines and also improvise the awkwardness of sex. They were actually quite good.

It seems that Jackie Sanders and Sean Peter Forte are the reliable vacation swings, so if Hannah, Martin, and/or Julian are promoted up on a temporary basis, there is still a chance he would come back.

And no, it does not change in context with a cis female playing the lead. It's the part itself that is a hoot and is just a queer in essence."
Agreed. It’s camp in its purest form and the say Cole was able to take a historical figure and carve out an otherwise gender neutral comedic role is nothing short of brilliant.
