I'd like to see Katrina Lenk as Aurora. I know she's a little over 50,but her voice is in great shape and she can dance. Chita was over 60 when she played it. Of course,there's only one Chita.
If it comes to Broadway and Gillian Anderson chooses not to come with it,I wonder how Katrina Lenk would be as the female lead. She's worked with Elliot before and she's a great dramatic actress too. She has done some plays as well as musicals,though mainly off-Broadway.
Katrina's current vocal coach is Joan Lader,who also works with Patti LuPone and Kristin Chenoweth. I remember her mentioning it in an interview when Company returned after the shutdown. She really does sound great.
Trump seems to be extremely jealous of First POTUS George Washington,who has many things named after him,including a state and the nation;s capital. Because he was,ya know,the FIRST! Trump needs to sit down and shut up,though I know he won't. Glad Schumer said no.

As with most Encores! productions, I found the pacing / comedic timing was a bit scattershot and the sound design was wonky (the orchestra sounded somewhat dull and canned). Hopefully they’ll tweak those things as the run continues. Andrea Martin did go up on her lines a couple of times, but that’s the nature of these productions, so I wasn’t bothered.The st...

The studio clearly decided it would be better to announce the news themselves rather than it be leaked from people watching the credits. I suspect they will also name who plays Dorothy soon too. Even if the actor who plays the part isn't seen fully. The person has to be named in the credits."Dorothy is played by Alicia Weir,who starred in the Matilda musical film adaptation. Her face is never shown,though.

She's extremely talented and great to watch. I know she's kind of a specific type of performer,but I'd love to see her back on Broadway. I know she's done a few readings here and there. Superb performer.
I can't believe it will be one year since Gavin passed,on Sept.30. I miss him so much. He left such a big hole on Broadway...and in the world. Such a gorgeous voice.
Thank you SO MUCH for your videos,TheaterMonkey!!! I felt like I was really there watching Adam Lambert,Cynthia Erivo,Philippa Soo,Raul Esparza,and the company perform right in front of me--all the way here in my little home in the south! Cynthia's Gethsemane moved me to tears. I sang along a little with some of the other songs. I wish so badly this could be released as an album. I'd buy it in a minute.
