The happily-ever-after, almost-identical to Wicked ending is boring.It would have been more interesting had they tied in the original ending of Anya/Anna Anderson,which is that after she died it wasdiscovered that she was a fraud with no DNA ties to the family, and a few decades later they found the missing daughter buried with thebrother.I think that would have been a great s

Back to the actual discussion...Christy’s performance was wonderful,but I also think that a number of people could have done the role justice. I think Laura Osnes could have been a good Anya as well.“

 

I personally think Osnes doesn’t quite have the grit and the comedy to do Anya. I think she’s a lovely performer, but I don’t know Anastasia would be in her wheelhouse. She made a perfect Cinderella bec

Regardless it had a good run. I saw the show twice and enjoyed it but did feel parts seemed too long and was confused at first with the Gleb character since I didn't remember him from the animated film.

Yeah, I've seen the show three times, and still I find anytime that Anya, Vlad, Dimit

I attended a Betty Buckley concert a few years back. My seat was very near the stage. On a table next to her was a cup of hot tea. I knew it was tea, because I was close enough to smell it. She sipped the tea now and then, and made a comment to the effect that the tea was for her voice. I have no way of knowing, but I would not be surprised ifshe has a cup of hot tea waiting fo


Vanessa Hudgens Wicked?

Why can’t we just cast broadway people for broadway roles and then leave the stunt casting to the other characters? (This is more in reference to the movie).

I think Hudgens would actually make a nice Nessa.

I agree with the Lin miscast. Whenever I see him in something, its like he never embodies the character. I just see Lin.
Emily Blunt was amazing though. She sang better than I expected her to.

Amanda Jane Cooper in WICKED

Definitely not my favourite. I’ve seen the show four times, and two of those were with Amanda as Glinda. She’s just kind of there. Serviceable is probably a good word. She was fine on the tour, but on broadway with Jackie Burns she floundered. I’m also not a big fan of Glindas who reuse previous Glinda inflections constantly. I know it’s hard considering how old the show is, but I do get tired of the Ali Mauzey *grab your leg and lift it to your forehead with a “yesssss”*.

We should be good unless Cody screenshots some posts and tweets them. /s

I really think Anastasia was just one of those movies where the appearance of the characters seemed to matter more. A big part of Dmitri’s appeal in the 90s was that cute, floppy brow

Surprised there hasn’t been a more recent thread on this. The BPP has been touring the US for a few months now. Has anyone seen it? Worth going? What do you think about the contest on Instagram?

And on that note, has anyone seen him in the show? We've barely discussed it. I know they optioned down My Petersburg, which I'm not a huge fan of, but I'm not surprised. They also changed his pyjamas during IACOT to give him long sleeves. But I obviously haven't seen the show, so can someone weigh in?

I think it goes to show just how bad stan twitter has gotten just within the past few years. I hate to go back to Cinderella, but when people found out Carly Rae Jepsen was taking over, they were upset, but I didn’t see half the things being said now. Now screenshots and comparisons and everything else are popping up on every social media site imaginable. And that was replacing the love interest! I can’t imagine if they had stunt casted Anastasia herself. It would’

Is he just holed up in his dressing room waiting to do In a Crowd of Thousands?

Anyone else have anything to say on it? It seems like no one is interested at all. And yeah, that picture of his bow looks soooo uncomfortable. Did he have any chemistry with Christy at all?

It’s not a “stunt cast” people are interested in, that’s for sure. It might’ve been better if everyone hated the casting. Nothing is worse in this business than apathy.  People are willing to go see a stunt cast in hopes of them being as awful

Sitting that close, from the side angle, it was disgusting, shocking, and absurd; we couldn’t even get into the story of the show because it was so distracting.

We’d seen more than 20 musicals by that time, but never sat that close and we were shocked

The Red Room version of Legally Blonde.
