Profile for Peppa222

Caught this last night. Thrilling, electric, and so on. Was wondering how this would transfer, and honestly, I think I enjoyed the condensed space more than the sprawling openness of PAC. The energy was through the roof. Guest judges were Jeremy Pope and a current mother of a ballroom house, but I didn't quite catch who.

Of all the genius of this reimagining, I think Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer are one of the highlights of the night. So smartly conceptualized and a joy to wat

I really am quite shocked that they haven't figured out/integrated a stance on audience participation from the get-go. I also don't understand the "It's not the movie!" argument. I've seen the movie, but my experience with Rocky is mainly through the dozens of regional/community productions I've seen (not screenings, not shadow casts, full-on theatre productions). The call-out culture is a huge part of the experience. 

I could understand having a

Total shot in the dark, but maybe our next Mary is Donna Murphy? The first two names Cole ever mentioned before replacements ever came to fruition were Tituss & Donna. It's been a decade since she last been on Broadway with Hello, Dolly, so that tracks. Plus, the show has proven to be a hit without a star name, so they might feel comfortable enough to let her lead it, especially if they cast more starry names around her.

Maybe I'm crazy, but it would make the theatre commun

I heard the Chalamet rumor a while ago, and I too did not believe it could happen until I saw he recently attended Oh, Mary and went backstage for a photo op. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but based on a cursory Google search, it doesn't seem like something Chalamet does often, if at all. 

Plus, post-Oscars spring through early summer runs are prime time for bigger film/TV folks to take on stage work, i.e. Kieran Culkin, Jean Smart.

I wouldn't be sur

ACL2006 said, "feels like I repeat myself about this once a week. but Hilty & Simard should have had Dee Roscioli on & ready as a standby by opening night. they had to know during the Chicago run how demanding both roles would be."

For all we know, they did know and asked for just that. Between the understudies not having proper costumes for months and a standby not being added until months after people had noticed the frequency of absences, it seems the prod

I remember Misery starring Bruce Willis & Laurie Metcalf. I ended up in the 3rd row on a whim, the first time I saw Metcalf onstage, and was thrilled by her performance; I was laughing one minute and utterly terrified the next. I was skeptical going in because Bates' Oscar-winning performance was so iconic, but I had forgotten about it by the end. Metcalf was just such a force, totally owned it and made it her own. I never missed anything she did onstage in NY after that.
