I loved Morrison. Everything about his performance. The great thing about this show is the debates about casting and character choices. Makes it fun. Everyone is going to relate differently to actors. I don’t care for Harris at all but I don’t think she ruins the show. I’m glad some folks love her. 
 

I’d actually like to see Kathryn Hahn as Mary. She was a trip in Boeing Boeing. She is a twisted trip as an actress. 

For those prices you should get to meet her and have her sign your book. 

I feel bad for Doyle. I saw him in concert in 2024 and he did two songs as Frank. He truly sounded fantastic and got me excited to see him in the show. He also told an anecdote about how Sinatra’s daughter, a producer, chose him for the role. She called him “our Frank” and welcomed him to the family. Showbiz is a tough business. 

Will anyone ever drop the ball as Mary? So far everyone stepping into the role has been praised. I wonder if anyone will ever tank it? 

I think Kathryn Hahn or Molly Shannon would be brilliant and would probably sell tickets. 

Haven’t we had enough of that inert show that requires intimacy between actors and audience?

Let’s stage it in two enormous spaces. Sounds thrilling. 

Im still hurting from the last flop. 

Don’t like what I hear. Where’s the power, the heartbreak, the pathos in the song?

Hmmmm

Marla is the reason to see this show. The “stunt”

casting does nothing but increase the budget. Cox is so lackluster and not a comedienne. I’d have preferred Missi Pyle. 

This is a total aside but I thought of it since Kristin was just injured. It seems like she makes her curtain call entrance down the middle of the stairs in heels with no railing. I found this rather precarious and dangerous. Isn’t there something like an Equity OSHA that would forbid this. This tiny actress descending stairs without three points of contact. I was worried for her. 
 

Even Sherie used the railing during her curtain call. 

He’s far from cooked. He thrives on provocative press. He's an enfant terrible who will work this once he’s out. His career is built on things like this. The big question is how accountable will he be held. I’m imagining one of his high profile friends can make some calls. He’s friends with Madonna, Rihanna and budding lawyer Kim K. They’re all in his phone. I sense he will rise from these ashes with more material. 

It seemed like her magic was limitless. It’s not clear. Can she deflect bullets? Can she knock all the soldiers over? If they are simply holding her can’t she blow them off her? I guess it’s not clear. Just a quibble. I still greatly enjoyed the film. 

No diary selling line in the show last Saturday. 

Also, Cheno didn't seem to have the dramatic chops to pull off the Norma Desmond-esque ending. I think it needs more dramatic heft than Cheno flitting about. 

I thought Stock was marvelous. I felt he did a nuanced job playing a developmentally arrested man looking for a corrective emotional experience to heal his child wounds.  He would regress into childhood with both someone who wanted to save him (James) and someone who could not (Sarah). 
 

James probably has his own trauma from his “perfect” family as he clearly tries to fix people. He may be codependent.
