Indeed. EGOT Rita Moreno played the role in the London production for a vacationing Petula Clark for several weeks in September and October 1996:

It's an easy oversight. Only two months, close to the end of the show's run, and Rita wasn't exactly in the career renaissance she's enjoying now. 

Not gonna lie, Bowman was kind of a meh choice IMO to take on a big alternate role. Gonzalez, on the other hand, is an extremely pleasant surprise. And I have to say, having both the main and alternate Norma not being played by the typically white leading ladies is refreshing. 

Sure because second from the stage and second row from the back are entirely the same experience.

We could have been sitting next to each other or in the same row."

Because I guess it matters, I was in Orchestra Left Row N.

Maybe I just missed it, but how is the show as, you know, a musical? Like I get the production is great, and they've done all these things to it. But is the score just kind of lost in the sauce, or besides the point?

Adding all the seating and vendors to Times Square has turned it into a crowded, loitering hellscape. The constant construction isn't helping things.

I miss the days when it was just folding tables and chairs.

Auliʻi Cravalho? This is going to be very awkward for the parents who have to tell their kids they can't see Moana on Broadway?

I recall seeing it and enjoying a lot of it. But I also remember not being as impressed as I left the group sales presentation. I also remember finding Jay Klaitz' character absolutely insufferable. 

I love Borle and happy he's working. But even he isn't going to make me pay to see this.

Remembe when JOH basically nosedived Center Theatre Group's entire season? That was fun.

 

I bought a ticket for July 15, when Marty Lauter is playing the Emcee. There were more tickets, they were cheaper, and after seeing him last night, I think I dodged a bullet.

Welp, the final nail in the coffin...

Paul Giamatti Boards ‘Star Trek: Starfleet Academy’

Starts filming late this summer.

As that Time Out article in the other thread reminded me, previews of the revival opened with Neo-Nazi protestors passing out antisemitic information. While I don't think it would've stopped the production from being mounted, I wonder if that's ever part of the conversation when deciding when to mount.

It only just occurred to me Tony Sunday is also Father's Day. Does that Act One show on Pluto get replayed? I'm worried I won't be home in time for it. 

Does anyone of if Neuwirth or Skybell have any time off coming? I'd like to see the show for them. 

Saw Water for Elephants yesterday and didn't realize she was in the show, I was so excited to see her back on Broadway. I was wondering where she'd been, what an incredible story of coming back.

I really don't want "star" names in this. Let's keep it to theatre people. Audra is entitled to be the biggest name here.
