"Baby Talk" is an incredibly close parody of "Do-Re-Mi", but the melody is different enough to not be the same song. Legally, It's a parody, one of the few one-to-one parodies in the show, and thus not a legal or copyright issue.  

Dawn French is INCREDIBLE but she's 68 and Mary is an incredibly demanding, physically challenging role. I don't know if she could do 8 shows a week of crawling on that desk. 

I would be genuinely shocked if Rob Madge is not being considered for a UK replacement. 

ROCKY HORROR does 8 pm curtains, if that's helpful information!

No, the show where a character is named "Mayor Manlove" and the villain is an overbearing judgemental church lady out to make everyone as miserable as she is doesn't endorse conservative values. The lack of media literacy in the world, and the willingness to come on a message board and post about it, is sometimes astounding. Just...do a google search. Read a review. Watch 10 seconds of the tv show on youtube. C'mon. 

Nothing is officially announced, but  Julian Manjerico is the first cover, he is likely playing the role for the week until Cheyanne Jackson returns on Tuesday. He's excellent, you're in great hands (honestly, I preferred his performance to Simu's.) Martin Landry also covers the role but I don't think he's ever gone on. 

Somehow that makes me appreciate his performance even more. The code-switching involved in his work was hysterical and subtle...or as subtle as one can be in this particular show!

Did they have stools for that? Are they higher than the rest? Just curious about seating."

It was general admission seating for that, three or four rows of normal chairs, no stools I recall. 

I have to say I agree about Morrison. When I saw him opposite Krakowski, I missed the rage that Ricamora, Nanjiani, and Philip Brennan brought to the role. If Abe is not driven by primal rage and priviledge, his scenes with Mary aren't properly balanced. He's solid; I enjoyed some of his take, but overall not a performance I particularly enjoyed.

I've noticed that Tom Nelis has been doing a production of KING LEAR for a short run at La Mama the past few weeks; he's still on or back on the show's website; does anyone know who played Grandfather while he was out?

 

EDIT: Never mind, found it. It was Paul Slade Smith.

I am. Haven’t missed an inauguration day since Jinkx’s first one. What I am hearing inside is to expect a performance that is very serpentine, with venom."

 

So....like a horny snake in a newspaper cartoon?

Does Sean  cover Mary's teacher now as well? or just the assistant?

It is taking them so long to announce this casting it is starting to feel personal, LOL. 

Jenn is reportedly staying through January, so I think they're bringing in a new Husband and Teacher. 

I mean....they gotta tell us this week, right? Like, whoever is playing opposite Jane will be in rehearsal starting next week, assuming a two-week rehearsal period.

Do we think it likely Julian will be bumped up to a full-time Mary's Teacher for Hannah's run? Or just given the role outright?

Is Tony oK? He's been out more than he's been on this month. Any word on whether he is continuing on with the show, or if he is leaving at the end of the month?
