Profile for SchuylWERKsister

There are a lot of factors at play here.First off, there’s intersectionality. As a Black Queer man Titus shares an identity with both Andy and Eddie. This doesn’t excuse Eddie’s comments or history, but I also understand why Titus may not want to participate in a questioning that could potentially tear down another Black man on national television. That could be heightened by this scenario being prompted by a non POC queer person who doesn’t have a history of engagement with intersectional qu...

What's the T behind this? Never heard this before."There’s not really any T. At that stage in her career she couldn’t sustain the role vocally and missed several performances so she was ultimately let go. Her standby Teal Wicks filled in for most of the performances and then became lead. ...

It’s great that you’re privy to her return date, but people can’t help what they don’t know. No matter what the circumstance may be, it is out of the norm to miss several weeks of performances.It’s a Broadway forum, this is the space for these topics. With that being said, yay! I’m glad she’s feeling better...

This is all a bit... odd. When Caroline Bowman missed for an extended amount of time, it was known that it was due to some sort of injury and Christine came in as a temporary replacement. Alison was out for a bit on tour I believe and Dee temporarily replaced. All this to say that Hannah certainly isn’t the first Elphaba to miss a substantial chunk of performances, but something about this just seems off. This reads more like the Caissie Levy Wicked LA situation where nothing was said said fo...

Didn’t Idina smoke her way through half of Wicked m?

Definitely Desi

Tina Turner would have annihilated this just 10 years ago. Heck, she might still be able to. The voice, the sex appeal, mystery, pain. She has all the dynamics, she would just need a strong director.

I thought Arentia Walker was the original Dorothy understudy and she never went on. Did Renee Harris replace Arnetia?

JBradshaw said: "Block was the standby in San Fran. Didn’t she go on once?When it came to Broadway Eden Espinosa was the original Elphaba standby - my first time seeing the show was actually Edens first time on.Shoshana took over as standby after Eden left for “Brooklyn”"She was the understudy. There are pictures of Stephanie J. Block in her ensemble costume from SF. There was no standby in SF.

MannPhan24601 said: "Celia Hottenstein(Standby for female leads in Desperate Measures off broadway and was Christine Alternate in the Phantom tour ) is joining the company in the ensemble in covering Glina per her IG . Guess Brittney is going to be standby ? "Or she could be replacing Lindsay K Northern. Is there word that Lisa Livesay is leaving?

Alysha Deslorieux is Chicago’s new Eliza.

She’s going to make the Karen look 1,000. That’s not even a dig to the actress playing Karen, Regina is truly a teenager now.

Jennifer’s voice was not in great condition during her broadway run. I hope that she has had time to rest.

Phillipa Soo

I'd believe that Zach and Cody (heh) were called back, but it's the Colton Ryan bit that gives me pause. Is he tall enough? Literally, Fiyero does have a height requirement of 5'11" or taller, I believe, and Colton doesn't read that tall."Not true. Curt Hansen, Michael Seelbach, and I’m pretty sure Kristoffer Cusick was under 5’11”

hamiltonstradition said: "Montego Glover also left this weekend."Thank goodness.

She should be lead Elphaba. To this day the best Elphaba I’ve ever seen.

Im hearing that Ariana DeBose is going into Hamilton as a lead after Summer closes. Likely on Broadway. My guess would be Angelica since Joanna is on leave and due to return as Peggy/Maria.
