Profile for NormasTurban

She absolutely did mention it explicitly in London. It’s literally the point.

That spoiler is literally the dramatic core of the show? It explains everything about the lead the female journey does on.I’m not sure how her character exists without it?

Marisha is great and I’m pleased for her but Billy Porter LOL.He was dreadful in London as was his attendance.

Absolute nonsense. Marisha and Billy have been the most successful pairing in terms of shifting tickets in quite a while. Producers actually tried to get them to extend.

Rachel Tucker would be sublime as Rose.Marisha is astounding in this role by the way. Billy is bloody awful.

Interesting! I remember hearing a few of the British Elphabas had been invited to film something so it’ll be a shame if they’ve been cut apart from Alice.

Were there any other cameos Jordan? Beyond the obvious Kristin and Idina.I read that Kerry Ellis was supposed to pop up.

Were there any other cameos beside the obvious two we all know about?

Caroline is the official standby. She’s the one expected to be at the theatre for every show ready just in case but as a courtesy they’ll offer it to Mandy, depending on the situation.As I said, in London, other than the preview cancellation, the only other shows Nicole missed were announced a few days in advance. So because the show knew this, they were able to have Rachel in place for those shows. In NY, I imagine they’ll ask Mandy first if they know Nicole is going to be out in advance.How...

Is that true?"The only time Nicole called out was shortly before opening and performances we cancelled. Otherwise, she never missed a show, and alternate Rachel Tucker was the only other Norma to get onstage during the run."Not quite true. She called out during previews as you point out and they cancelled that performance.She then missed a full weekend (Friday and...

RE: the endingSpoilers…… The implication is that Norma does shoot Joe. She then kisses him on the mouth like Salome did which explains why she’s covered in his blood from the mouth down.

ShowBro said: "Hello, for those that have seen this in London, would you sit row B orchestra or row C front mezzanine. I know this showdoesn’t have much set but I’m wondering if it is better to sit further back to get the full effects of the lighting/video? Thoughts?"I’m not sure of the sight lines at the St James but I found it particularly thrilling up close. Though you probably can’t beat front mezz for the full impact.

The show did 8 performances a week in London Monday - Saturday. Monday had Rachel Tucker as alternate, Nicole did the remaining 7 shows including the midweek matinee and Saturday matinee.And it took several weeks for hype to build as word of mouth spread.

The show is not set in modern times. It exists outside of time. All the references to the silent era and DeMille remain alongside some modern references - Betty’s laptop and Norma twerking.

Nicole missed three shows in London. The absences were announced around a week in advance and as such, Rachel Tucker (the alternate) went on for those shows.Nicole never called out sick on the day.It was my understanding in London that if Nicole was out, the alternate (Rachel and Broadway’s case, Mandy) had first refusal.Though obviously if Nicole called out sick with an hour before showtime, the standby would be much more likely as the alternates aren’t hanging around near the theatre.Nicole...
