I also can't think of Eden having success with voice over (though granted I dont know her career very well) but that description does fit Julia Murney much better, who has done a bunch of voice over to

I now see Ticketmaster has a ticket insurance option... I imagine this is how they end up in the cancellation line
I still don't see what was so grotesquely wrong with my question that you felt the need to be such an ass...

Cancellation Tickets (Hamilton and other shows) Question

This maybe a really silly one- but where do the cancellation tickets come from?
From a quick search- the Richard Rodgers theatre website states that " The Richard Rodgers Theatre does not provide ticket refunds or exchanges. "
So do people cancel tickets for no refunds? Are they only house seats that go "ungiven"?
This goes for other shows too- but Hamilton got me thinking, as more than several people get their tickets tha

She discusses Bernstein's specific direction to sing the "ha-ha"s with an audible "H", and how difficult and vocally taxing that was to do. If you're interested, here's the interview/podcast.

Thank you so much! I've never seen that. Will have a listen tomorrow- what a fascinating woman she is.

Oh yes- that's one of my most listened to OBCs on my phone!
I didn't know she invented that note though- ahh perfect!
that lady is just glorious, a true inspiration of mine... I can't find the words to describe how much I enjoy her voice.
Her Glitter and Be Gay is also a favourite of mine- her voice is just... uhh out of this world.
I feel like Laura could hold that note even just a little bit longer- it doesn't s

I disagree, she crescendoed into it (at least to my untrained ears) pretty efortlessly- into a light elevated note. It's very possible she didn't take in enough air beforehand- as she gasped for it audiobly right after. But still it was so pretty.
Laura's note is gorgeous too (though in general her tone is a little heavier than I enjoy- but her voice is terrific regardless of my preference) it's just so damn short and I don't understand why :/

This is such a disaster since no one will work there until Tuesday due to the weekend, which means I have only 2 days to figure it out before they shut it down. There is no FAQ section for me. Im on a Dell and using Chrome. There is just "About" "In the Spotlight" "Subscribe" "How to Watch" "News" "My Account". There is no record in my library that I ever purchased it even though I did on June 25th.
Thanks anyways.
"
That's okay- just enter the code and leave the rest (credit card information) blank and press purchase- it'll direct you to a recipt for 0.00$ and a button to "watch now"
at least that's how it worked for me.
Loved this, my only super nitpicky negative is Laura top B in Vanilla Ice Cream- it's too short!! I wanted to bask in it for so much longer.
found this, it's the reading of this production from a few years ago, with Kelli O'hara as Amalia- THAT NOTE!! perfection-

Phillipa Soo to lead AMELIE on Broadway

"
umm what? she didn't belt (and no one else belted, as you might have noticed) because she was directed that way, because according to hooper- that's how you sing on film...
I agree her acting was dull both on film and onstage- Eponine isn't a lovesick teenager and yet most insist on playing her that way (including Lea Michelle)

If Philippa can handle going against Laura Benanti at the Tony's last Sunday, then I think she'll be fine going up against the girl who played Natasha in the musical she started back in 2013. 
"
I think you mean Benanti/ Jessie Mueller...
unless Soo had some history with She Loves Me..?

^ I thought it's weird there wasn't anyone from Hamilton.. I bet it's because those two are busy, and not THR's lack of interest..
I thought it was awkward when Jessie (love her!) was talking about getting the part in Waitress- wasn't Benanti doing the early reading for that? It was weird the way they chose to phrase both the question and answer for that..

How Broadway Contributed to Its Own Cell Phone Problem

yankeefan7 said: ""the problem is people too stupid or egocentric to turn off their phone during the show"
Cmon, you can't think anybody today is that dumb that they don't know how to silence their phone. You are asked to keep your phone quiet at the movies, on an airplane, in church etc so requesting this at a Broadway show should not be a tough task. How egocentric are you when you can't wait a little over an hour and turn it on during intermission.
