All the Gatsby nominations in design elements...yikes. Just shows that all these so called critics don't actually know what good design is, just how much of it there is.

Did Rebecca Frecknall ever push you in the streets MemorableUsername? The animus has been very pointed and persistent now. An understudy who may never go on for a role, especially when it's Cliff, clearly the focus would be on finding the most able ensemble member who could also play the part if ever called upon, but I don't tend to read the worst of intentions or lack of care in people actions everytime.

While Gayle absolutely has ways to go, particularly with landing the funny bits, I found the way she can manipulate her voice to be absolutely thrilling. For me there's not doubt that she's a brilliant actress, she j...

Oh this thread is already a mess. Didn't expect it to come about so soon. The worst takes be dropping left and right.
