Any ideas who we think we'll see on the tour? I could imagine Jonalyn Saxer being involved.

I’ve been lucky enough to catch Natalie Charle Ellis twice (on for Leslie Kritzer in Beetlejuice and for Jen Simard in Death Becomes Her) and she’s a star!

The Distinctive Baritone said: "Ellen Greene did it in a concert version, and having originated in the role and played it in the movie, it was kind of a special event.'' Some would say Sherie Rene Scott returning to an NYC stage is kind of a special event as well...I'm thrilled for this casting.

Does anyone know if Simard is back tonight? Looks like Natalie was still on for the matinee this afternoon. Tomorrow is the final show.

Looks like Natalie is on again tonight (5/31)

Natalie just posted to Instagram she’ll be on for Helen again tonight (5/30).

I'd love to see Ekele Ukegbu debut in this. She was sensational at the Jimmys a few years ago.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WWWeET7xSUQ

I just read this on Alexandra Billing‘s Facebook page. I’m in shock. I was just watching her “I’m Still Here” on YouTube last week. Sunset Boulevard was the last show I saw before COVID shut everything down. This is such a devastating and unbelievable loss to Chicago theatre.

A few press photos I found, giving us a glance at the family and the set. https://www.instagram.com/p/B5laF2Qnu8c/?igshid=1o7waax96gpqg https://www.instagram.com/p/B5o0yLOHgGG/?igshid=198l1t0pmxzpw

James Kerrigan2 said: "How long is Hannah and Ginna Claire's contract? Will they leave in January with Nancy Opel?"Hannah left a comment on Alexandra Billing’s IG saying how excited she was for her to be joining the cast. I know that’s pretty general, but I read it as she was excited to be working with her when Nancy Opel departs.

Was she wearing a mask?"I believe Bernadette’s witch makeup on actual Broadway wasn’t as intricate as it was for the PBS recording, making it easier and faster to run off stage and do a quick change while a body double took her place on stage with a hood up in the ugly witch garb.

The makeup department deserves an Emmy just for the fake teeth on Michelle Williams alone.

I personally think she would make a better “Lady” but she has yet to go on. Aléna Watters has been taking over it seems.

If Barrett announces she’s leaving, I would love to see Mary Kate Morrissey take over for her. I read that on another thread somewhere and I can’t get that casting out of my head.

Colella in Fun Home.

I’ve always thought Annaleigh Ashford would make a great Sarah. Now I’m wide awake with insomnia at 3am dream casting dream shows (as one does) and I’m thinking Jennifer Simard would make an excellent Winnie. Maybe Bonnie Milligan for Mary?

I never edited anything before. I made this DVD because if a film is never made people can still see Glenn Close iconic performance! "I really thought about doing this myself when I s...
