Profile for SophiaPetrillo

Does anyone know whether this is a limited or open-ended run?

This is shocking. RIP

My coworker who’s there tonight just texted me that Patti is out. He said Anisha is “very believable” as Joanne.

I finally saw it yesterday and I agree that it’s a masterpiece. One of the best movie musicals ever made. The 1961 version pales in comparison. My only criticism is that Ansel Elgort’s performance isn’t up to par with the rest of the cast.

I’m 5’1 and didn’t have any problems sitting in the second row. It was great to see the facial expressions up close.

Anyone who says otherwise is just lying to themselves. And the direction is way too busy and detracts from the core of the show. It's a fun night of theatre but it doesn't hit like Company should. "Sounds like you’re lying to yourself because you can’t accept that your experience isn’t the only correct one.

CityLights3 said: "Most of the shows positive reviews even mention the unfortunate miscasting of Lenk and being unable to vocally handle the role. Not only is it a shame, it’s a problem. I wouldn’t mind seeing the understudy go on myself either."I’m no critic, but my experience of her performance was completely different, and I’m not the only one. Whether she’s miscast is a matter of opinion, not a fact.

I didn’t see the comment and I’m not sure I want to know. Whatever is going on with Patti, even if it’s minor, my heart goes out to her.

I'm particularly partial to Being Alive, one of the most beautiful songs in the canon if you ask me, and I thought she nailed it, transitioning from weeping to a crystal clear closing belt.i DO understand thinking she is miscast given that she doesnt exude warmth/charm. i disagree-- and as I noted above, i dont think Esparza hardly came off as cuddly. but whether ...

Am I the only one who didn’t have a problem with Lenk’s singing? She’s not a vocal powerhouse, but I thought she sang the score very nicely. The only issue I noticed was her weird accent during Marry Me a Little.

Wow, I hope Patti is okay. I feel for Anisha; it can’t be easy to perform when you know most of the audience is disappointed. Hopefully she’ll win them over. What a week.

Katrina’s voice is unique and clearly not everyone’s cup of tea, but to say she can’t sing the score is inaccurate. However, whether she can sing it consistently 8 times a week remains to be seen. Personally I’m rooting for her and the production as a whole. As people have pointed out it’s not without its flaws, but I think it’s something very special This is first time I’ve felt a connection with Bobby/Bobbie. I understand “Being Alive” in a way I never did before because Katrina took me on ...

She was just...bad. I'm not really certain it's her fault because she's just so unbelievably miscast in this role. Vocally, she couldn't handle it at all, and the acting was perhaps even worse. She was stiff, ice cold, lacked any humor, and had zero character arc. I'm honestly shocked they'd rest a ...

I was at tonight’s show. Katrina Lenk is magnificent. I saw it last year and thought she was very good, but there was room for improvement. Any doubts I had about Lena’s performance have vanished. Her acting and vocals are now impeccable.Patti is spectacular as always. Her performance is a master class. Jennifer Simard and Christopher Fitzgerald steal every scene they’re in, and Manu Narayan is a great addition to the cast.
