Profile for Angel of Harlem

It’s been a bit cursed from the initial auditions. its looking like (semi) stunt castings of 6 weeks run each for Marisha Wallace then Alex Newell as Effie with the option to rotate if they wish.producers saying that only those 2 could manage the workload and vocal stress of the role

TheatreFan4 said: "Angel of Harlem said: "What happened to Patti Labelle joining the cast? Did it fall through?"I know Patti is an active girl and still touring, but she's also 81. She can no doubt sing it, but it'd be a lot for her I'm sure."sadly you’re right - she couldn’t agree terms - would have loved to have seen her in this!Nelly is to join the cast in the New Year though which will revitalise it a bit

I wasn’t not familiar with your game."What happ...

She’s pretty much my 4th favourite Pussycat Doll

I would think the latest CATS would do well in there. Just curious, if CATS was going in or something else."It’s already back as a traditional theatre set up sadly

tacotheatrelover said: "in the coming days or weeks, would anyone be able to share photos of the load out? I wanna see how long it takes to load the show out, and how much ends up in the sidewalk."The seating on the west is already out.a few of us were there yesterday (about 20 and we were given boxed pieces of wood (from the stage) with a small certificate in as a souvenir)-was wonderful

EDSOSLO858 said: "Looking forward to hearing reports from today’s closing."sensational!emotional scenes as expected for the cast.Emcee David was superb- getting better each show Ellen was lovely as always as F Schneiderand Marisha gave the performance of a lifetime - the ovation after Cabaret was 6 minutes - longest I’ve ever seen in theatre - certainly mid show!she was visibly upset after MTT and the pause was tangible post song. still the best night out in theatre - I for one am sorry it ha...

BenjaminNicholas2 said: "Just not Alex Newell.Being able to sing one song doesn't mean you can get the entire score, plus acting, under your belt.I don't see Newell being able to really sell me as Effie White.And then there's Newell's reliability issues in shows." I think they’d be great but far too old.lot of talk for Amber Riley but she was so unreliable and hardly a dream team mate

I really hope the West End does the same thing, as he was very loved here, too!"According to this latest Whatsonstage article:There are currently no plans to dim the West End lights for Creel. However, Marisha Wallace and the Actor’s Church will host a candlelight vigil to commemorate award-winning stage star. The vigil w...

P3PP3R said: "Up there with Alex Newell and Amber Riley, I would love to see Tiffany Mann get her flowers for this."Amber couldn’t manage 3 shows a week in London and had to leave. not sure what she’s been up to for the intervening years but if she couldn’t handle the part back then at her peak there’s no chance now!it’s vocally one of the hardest parts out there!Alex Newell and Marisha Wallace would be great but agree they are now too old. (For the part not in life if you get my dr...
