Profile for Action2

My question is that hasn't Lea been working on this piece for a number of years (I think I heard since she was 13!). If so, did the sexual overtones/situations ever come up before? My roommate saw one of the first preveiews of SA and swears that Lea did not expose her breasts at that time...so wonder if she turned 17 after the run started...and they added it in.

Not to be all preachy, but why shouldn't a person with a past in p*rn (or anything else) be allowed to do a show? Perhaps he gave a great audition. And if he looks good in a towel, and that's appropriate for the part, all the better. There are a number of Broadway actors who have a bit of blue in their past (Vanessa Williams, Frenchy Davis, Tom Judson). Why is it such a major deal?

and...we are watching footage of rehearsals and (if they are live, but I doubt it), first weeks of performances. I imagine she will gain confidence and begin to 'show off' more as she get's more comfortable. BY THE WAY...I hate how replacements are always compared NEGATIVELY to originals. Look, Sutton (who I LOVED as Janet), left on her own accord. She wasn't dismissed and the role wasn't stolen by Mara. Why slam her for being, oh, different? Have a great run.

I think I heard that in an EARLY version of the show, the narrator was actually the baker's child...recounting the story he had been told. Obviously, that changed and the character became something/someone else...but I LOVED the idea of the story going full circle.

Mountain Duet from CHESS With You from PIPPIN I Have Dreamed from THE KING AND I

I saw her and Felicia Finnley once as guests on a cabaret of Gashole (you don't know Gashole? Shame on you!). They sang a Heart duet and it was amazing.

I guess this has been out there for a while and probably been discussed before, but couldn't find it. Who are the actresses? Pretty good singers! Any Bway credits? And any word if Wicked folks were amused or pissed about this? Thanks.

I am not sure who the 'official' understudies are, but I think things have been mixed up a bit. I saw an early preview, but don't remember seeing Leslie Kritzer listed as US for Paulette or Tracy Jai Edwards as US for Serena...yet they have both gone on in those parts. I heard Tracy Jai was fierce as Serena, but has anyone seen Leslie as Paulette? I love me some Orfeh, but bet Lesie rocks.

OMG...laughing out loud at that one. Guess that was from the midnight show. Same scene at the 9:30- Leslie's response was "Well I auditioned for Arthur Lawrence once, so yeah." I guess I have to have my disco nap next year and see the late show!

Not sure if all the links are bad on her website, but when I click on the small picture, it opens to a large one of SB in front of potrait of LIZA! Caption says "Stephanie Block in front of her portrait at Sardies." Hope they fix this ASAP!

for those in the know... Romeo and Julian

Funny Girl with Deborah Gibson: Rumor is the cast used to refer to the show as GIRL. Get it?

There actually is a musicalization of Silence Of the Lambs. Ran at the Fringe here a couple of years ago. Favorite moment: Hanibal's ballad "If I Could Smell Her Cxxx" - with, I kid you not, a dream ballet!!!

Totally different than DHP or NPH, but what about Brad Garrett? He sings, right? Would love the detective to be big bruiser of a Boston cop. Would make his love of theatre and dance numbers that much more fun and funny.

How it went, who was there, interesting details about set, costumes, orchestrations. Love or hate this show, this 'concept' of casting from reality show, or these two actors - this IS going to be on Broadway in a few months, so am interested in it. And, like all shows that come here, I hope for the best. Maybe it will suck, but could be a great new talent in the chorus or something fun (or fun to make fun of) during the production. Was it so wrong of me to ask?

Heard they were supposed to have first rehearsal today...

Back to the question posted...anyone remember it? I read on another site that Andrea Martin's dresser from Oklahoma had been asked to dress her in YF. So...if that is true...I'm guessing she is a go.

I was just wondering about this this morning when I watched Curtains on the CBS morning show. David HP was great, but sounded abit raspy when talking. How many appearances have he, Christine, and the other Tony nominees done this week. Didn't Christine have 2 shows on Wednesday and then have to be at both the Today show and Regis and Kelly on Thursday + a show that night. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH...they are only human. Wishing Maureen a great show tonight, bad karma to the 'let's boo the understudy' ...

I enjoyed it...looks like they are having fun. 2 things: 1. Never really cared much for Kate Shindel, but something in the video kinda made me like her. A better voice than I remember from LB or Cabaret. 2. I think Tracy Jai Edwards is the most beautiful girl on Broadway. WAY talented, but so pretty.
