Profile for Valentina3

Not on your list but perhaps should be - Death Becomes Her :)

Okay I have an annoying question. Anyone know how much the principal cast got paid? I read some articles saying Goldblum and Yeoh got $2M, Cynthia got $1M, and Grande got $15M.

I'm not surprised at Grandes paycheck but Erivo being the lead and being so much lesser than other supporting cast seems really odd. I wonder if the royalty deals are differently structured.

Haha I know I know, I'm just repeating what has been told to me.

"And Chip on My Shoulder is definitely not the worst song in that very uneven score lol"

That's fair. When it hits it really hits tho.

 

I'm sorry but the answer is very clearly a Legally Blonde revival, with Renee Rapp as Vivienne. Sherie Rene Scott would be a fabulous Paulette.

(As long as they rewrite or cut the unnecessary "we cast a big name for Emmett so unfortunately he will have to play a really big part in her self actualization".)

RippedMan: "Why would anyone want to pay $ to watch someone struggle through a score? I don’t think it would be an event but a blunder."

I'm a massive fan of Chopra's work in Bollywood, so I know what she's capable of as an actress. To be clear, I'm not saying she should have been cast. I'm mostly day dreaming about the possibilities if she was a strong enough singer to pull this score off.

My genuine first thought was how cool would it have been if Priyanka Chopra had been announced as Cathy.

 

(Yes I know Warren would be fantastic, and I know Chopra can't sing this role but she is a phenomenal actress and it would have been quite an event)

Just read a Kate Shindle interview of her stepping down as the Equity president. Think she will make a great Norma in this production."

You piqued my interest, so I checked this out as an audition :)
Kate Shindle sings "Losing My Mind" from Follies at 54 Below! (youtube.com)

I could see her in Sunset. Her voice sounds like it has the range, and you can see the acting there too - not an easy song to do simply with a piano and standing in one place"

Oh she can saaang alright. She blew the roof off in Legally Blonde (Remix). Although the type of singing is very different in Sunset, I think she can easily pull it off, especially in this production. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yHdj9bE_xpA

It's funny I was thinking about her the other night because of this post, and rewatching White Collar on Netflix. There's like a 4 second scene in one of the early episodes she's in as a background extra, overacting the hell out of her single line mostly oggling Matt Bomer (who, if he could sing, would have been a great Joe...).

I see a black Mama Rose, with a white Herbie, an Asian American June and a trans Louise. Or maybe a trans Tulsa.

We'll see!"

who hurt you baby

George C Wolfe really could be a great director for this. If Audra is indeed Rose, I hope they lean into the performer being Black and how that changes the dynamics of her relationships, instead of making it a "color-blind" production.

Herbie is such a thankless role that anyone the caliber of Stokes would be a waste. Having said that, Raul Esparza has been away from Broadway for way too long and would be a great Herbie...

This thread is so long now lol. I was hoping for some seating recommendations! Is there any spot which is an absolute no? Hoping to catch the matinee tomorrow

I doubt Uranowitz would do it. I really hope it comes to DC. The Broadway production was SO good and felt like it would tour really well.

Not quite Broadway, but does anyone have a discount code for Titanique?

If it is indeed to boost sales, I doubt they will go with my dream pick - Damon Daunno. He was so good in the role.

He won't really work opposite Solea but damn I'd love to see Joshua Bassett take this on Broadway. He would probably bring in some initial boost in sales from legion of younger fans.
