Profile for Body Beautiful Beale

NO, B3TA07, is not directed at you but at "singer who moves poorly" who created this thread and also just created the profile! I am glad to see so many Brooke Shield champions here, too!

Did you create a profile just to watch people bash Brooke Shields? If so, that's pathetic.

From what I understand it wasn't a playbill but a copy of Ben Brantley's review in the Times (*wink*wink*).

"I definitely am not of a camp who thinks Christine Ebersole craps sunshine" ROFL!

How did these people become involved with the production anyway? I know Ebersole was out there soliciting producers to transfer the production from Playwrights to B'way. Are these producers she courted and is now sorry she ever did? And I hated the ad campaign switch, too. The original ad design was classic, like the Beales. This tabloid design has no connection to the show. I also think it is a shame there are no impressarios left, but they came with enourmous egos, too. (Think David Merrick...

Okay, you all have me excited beyond words to see the show tonight. I am really hoping it is as good as everyone says, 'cuz i loves me some Patti LuPone and I love GYPSY.

Enough with this foolishness! I'll tell you the First Lady of the American Musical is, ME, Little Edie Beale. And don't you goddamn forget it! Da-da-da-da-da!

Does anyone know why Sara Gettelfinger didn't make the transfer from Playwrights Horizons to Broadway with "Grey Gardens?"

Hey, Does anyone know what's up with Telecharge? I have tried to access their website for the last two days to no avail. I apologize if I missed the info. somewhere else on this site. Thanks!

BROADWAYSTAGE05, Don't sweat with not hearing from them. As others who have posted before me, working/living conditions there are less than stellar. And,YES, PLAYHOUSEFAVORITE, I have worked there, so I can speak from experience. While it is true, they often attract young, quality talent with little experience who are afforded a wonderful opportunity to hone their craft and build up their resume. They do little to improve the quality of life for their actors. The roof leaks, there is a consta...

I am sure this will land me in trouble, but I think Ebersole was better at Playwrights than on Broadway. (I saw it there once and on B'way twice.) There was a "phone-in" quality to her performance the last time I saw it. She just seemed to be going through the motions, especially during the second act where the sublime Wilson stole the show. Also, by all accounts, Moore stands on her own 2 feet. So I think I will have to check her out over the next few weeks while Ebersole is out. I can only ...

apples and oranges..... any good actress will bring her own strengths and weaknesses to any role personally, i am just happy to have a chance to see one of the theatre's living legends in one of the all time greatest roles! yippee!!

Is that really true that Betty Buckley moved back to Texas?

It must be you because I can neither see nor hear any similarity between Duncan and Buckley.

Neely O'Hara, Good Luck with Ebersole!
