Profile for Nolan LuPone

Saw Bernadette Peters, Larry David, and Steven Skybell last night at Ragtime!Edit: Saw Jellicle Ball earlier this afternoon and Norm Lewis was seated 7 rows ahead of me! Awesome.

This you?

quizking101, thanks for your notice! I'm going to the ball on Saturday afternoon and am actually quite looking forward to seeing the Bustopher Jones cover now, thanks to your message :) I take your opinion as that of a connoisseur considering your love for this production!Re: Kya Azeen as Macavity, what should I expect? I had hoped to see Leiomy and am sorry to hear about her injury.

Apparently John Rapson also departed the production last night, per Ragtime’s social media. Any word on who’ll be replacing him? Seeing the show this Friday and am curious. I thoroughly enjoyed him in Sweeney Todd and was interested to see what he could do with his featured role in this show. Probably a swing replacement for now, no?On another note, I’m excited to be seeing one of Ben Davis and Morgan Marcell’s first performances as Father and Evelyn Nesbit. Should be a fun night at t...

Whose your dream Millicent Clyde?"I'm not sure Victoria Hamilton-Barritt will transfer, as she has two little ones, but I do hope she does. If not, I'd love to see Lesli Margherita finally win a Tony Award...

Steve Martin and Martin Short, I've been saying this for years!

binau said: "Any guesses or rumours for a C levy replacement?"Erin Davie did Ragtime in Ithaca last year and I really enjoyed her performance. She'd be spectacular. I haven't seen this revival yet though, so I don't know if she'd fit within this production.

This casting is out of left field for sure. Can't wait to see her, she'll be brilliant!

I saw Dee Roscioli as Madeline in mid-August and thoroughly enjoyed her performance. I've always been a fan and was surprised when it was announced she'd be joining the production as a standby. She brings a lot of emotional depth to Madeline, letting the comedy play itself while digging her teeth into the character. Her voice is also unbelievably powerful and melds well with Simard in "Alive Forever". Needless to say, I wouldn't mind if Roscioli were to replace for a while.As Birdie Boy said,...

binau said: "Anyone see Audra yesterday? How did she sound? It appears she has a cold and she was lamenting it is affecting the range of notes she needs to sing but that she will go on away."Saw her tonight! She was in excellent voice. Terrific acting and terrific vocals. I cried harder than ever haha

Roman, are you aware that you will be seeing Cole's second to last show (for the foreseeable future, at least)? You are one lucky duck! Wish I could get the chance to see them too, but I just haven't had the time. Anywho, I hope you enjoy your shows; especially your rite of passage to the Ambassador tomorrow. Have fun!

All of these were disappointing, however the only real shock for me was David Thaxton being snubbed for his work in Sunset Boulevard and Chris Sieber for Death Becomes Her. Thaxton's ability to convey one of the most visceral performances of the season was truly remarkable and Sieber's unbelievable comedic timing (especially in the puppet scene) was peak camp. Also, not a surprise but still a disappointment: I really wanted to see Lesli Margherita get nominated. 12 years later, it still baffl...

Steve Martin and Martin Short, but they switch roles each performance

Someone mentioned Carmen Cusack way back when this thread was first started, and I second that. Jennifer Simard would also be interesting. I personally would love to see Micaela Diamond, though.

Audra is out tonight, per the Gypsy Instagram.

Not every show does get a standing ovation mid performance. On Friday, I saw Sunset Blvd and neither of Nicole’s numbers received standing ovations. Patti did not receive a standing ovation for TLWL when I saw Company. Prolonged? Yes, but not standing. Audra’s standing ovation mid-show is unique for me, so I felt it was interesting to state.
