Profile for Doogie

Honestly, more than Lansbury, you know who I'd LOVE to see in this role? Elizabeth Ashley. If you think about it, she'd be absolutely perfect.

I saw it.

Really, truly an UNBELIEVABLE performance. I say this as a HUGE fan of Amy Morton, but she was possibly eclipsed by Ms. Rashad tonight. It may be the greatest performance I've ever seen in a straight play.

People also forget with Julie Andrews, that even prior to the development of her nodes, vocally she was a bit past her prime. She could still sing, most definitely, but not like she did 20-30 years prior. And recovering from that kind of surgery in your 60's is tough.

I saw Helen Mirren and her husband on the Q last year. I am dead serious. I normally wouldn't say anything, but I was in such disbelief that a woman of Ms. Mirren's stature would be on the subway that I asked if she was, indeed, Helen Mirren, and she said yes. Other people saw and started staring, and she bolted at the next stop.

Debra Messing-Karen Mary Louise Parker- Ivy Geena Davis-Barbara Tom Hanks- Bill SALLY FIELD- Violet (though I'm not entirely convinced) Jean Smart- Mattie Fae Balthazar Getty- Little Charles Chris Noth- Steve

Don't really post anymore, but figured I neeeded to chime in here: Michele Ragusa is not particularly well known, but is IMMENSELY talented. Her broadway credits include Evelyn Nesbit in Ragtime, replacing Nancy Anderson for the last two weeks of A Class Act, as well as several Encores! productions. She is probably best known for playing Amalia in She Loves Me at Paper Mill Playhouse 3 years ago, winning over the top raves. I hadn't heard she was replacing Megan, but she is brilliant nonethel...

This show NEEDS Natascia Diaz as Rosie.

It would not surprise me if Davie ended up with it.

will they be gone by 12:30?

Hey guys- If myself and 3 friends (4 of us) get to the Barrymore at about 12:30 tomorrow (for the 3:00 show), would we be ok getting 4 rush seats to Company? or would we need to be earlier. Thanks a bunch!

there is a rumor that Lesley Ann Warren wants to do it (I'm serious) and I think if she can handle the first act vocally, she'd be great. Admittedly, I'm a fan of hers.

Walked by the theatre this afternoon and saw Maureen was on. Not sure about tonight.....

to both Mary Testa and Jackie Hoffman. Surprised me. But I wanna see her!

It has been rumored that Christine will not be on the cruise and will indeed be in GG that week.

apologize. triple.

apologize. double.

will the webcast be available to be seen immediately following. I have DH finale party with friends, but I wanna watch it after they leave at midniteish. will I be able to click on something at theatremania to watch it?

I understand the sentiment behind finding it laughable that a replacement is being sought given the show's numbers, but these producers are COMMITTED to this show, as they should be. There have been various rumors that different women want in with this show (Lesley Ann Warren and Kathie Lee Gifford were two specific names), though lord knows if they could do it. Nevertheless, I love GG and hope it sees a life after Ebersole, who is, of course, brilliant.
