So the Columbia u/s will just rotate until then? That's a large gap"

New Columbia will be starting sooner. Next couple weeks, I think, but it all came together fast (which is why Columbia isn’t even a listed character in the Playbill currently; th

Big cast change coming in August. Columbia will be a Drag Race queen, starting soon. I don’t have any additional details, sadly.

Betty Gilpin is the blueprint for what Mary can be, as far as I’m concerned. She’s the only one so far not to treat it like a bit of a clown show, and her readings of innocuous lines like “Amazing!” and “Congratulations!” are seared in my brain. I’d love for her to come back for a small run someday.

I saw Maya Rudolph last night, and I’m sad to say that she’s my least favorite of the Marys I’ve seen by a country mile. A real bummer.

She’s not “bad” by any means, and the audience was largely eating it up, but this was the first time I felt the performer putting too much on top of the text. Too much mugging, too many incomprehensible line readings, too many strange voices (essentially a greatest hits of every goofy voice she’s ever done). Co

Intermission. Sherie absolutely knocks “Science Fiction Double Feature” out of the park and is playing Magenta like a Barbie doll about to topple over. She’s wearing Anania’s wig style, but I wish she was wearing Juliette’s.

I’m liking this a lot more than the first time. Larkin Reilly should be promoted to full-time as Columbia. What a presence on stage. Luke Evans remains dynamite (the 3-second delay on that jock is the best performance of the

Is anyone else seeing Sherie’s first performance tonight? I was able to grab a cheap ticket on Theatr and I’m thrilled.

The original production was in the mid-90s and featured Patricia Clarkson, Bradley Whitford, and John Slattery (talk about a stacked cast). I don’t know about critical response, but it was a Pulitzer finalist.

The Broadway revival was indeed largely panned. Julia Roberts got the brunt of

It’s Spelling Bee.

I was stuck in a loop logging and re-logging into my membership account until I finally reached out to customerservice@lct.org. I think that’s the way to go, or call their member hotline.

It was always a vanity project for OD Company. They rushed it to Broadway just to get ahead of A.R.T.’s production after tepid reception at Papermill.

I’m also not even saying disliking deBessonet’s directing style is sexist. I’m saying that making a statement like “she’s being handed this job because of Into the Woods” is sexist at worst and misinformed at best. You can dislike her, but acting like she appeared out of nowhere with ITW and got this job at LCT as a result is absurd.

I’d say it’s more of a reach to call her unaccomplished or unsuccessful than point out the probable sexism behind it. But whatever! I’m not going to turn on any lightbulbs for people convinced she’s some kind of lucky diversity hire with no experience who seemingly everyone around her secretly hates.

I love this new look to the artwork. Clearly a throwback to McMullan’s style with a more vivid, hand-painted approach.

Also, Lear deBessonet is the AD of LCT, so this is hardly a “job she got off the back of Into the Woods” situation. She’s an accomplished director in her own right - separate from her position, which guarantees at least one show at the Beaumont or Newhouse per season - and the constant refrain on this board that she’s just being handed thi
