Profile for Dangerous Divine

If I recall correctly, the character actually sings as well. He starts out lip syncing and then ends up belting out the end of the song.

Hal Prince's "Contradictions" is a favorite. And I have to echo "Act One."

I saw Kevin Mambo this past Tuesday.

As long as you were discussing things politely and being descriptive about what was problematic, people from PH would have probably sat quietly and eavesdropped because that kind of response is quite helpful in development of a new play. The people sitting next to you were the ones without etiquette. They were listening to your conversation and butting in without actually talking to you.

adamgreer, if Ripley takes an extended vacation, they need to bring in a temporary replacement because equity rules state that if an understudy or swing plays a role for a certain amount of time (I think two weeks, but I'm not totally sure), they have to be offered a contract for the role.

Boston did at least one. (I think they did more, but I'm not sure since I didn't attend.)

Kate, I've been watching from the start and I still have no clue. (And the sound is TERRIBLE when more than one person is singing.)

Does anyone know which of the understudies for Mother is going on for closing weekend in Noll's absence?

The performance looked like a rip off of the Hades number from Broadway Bares 17: Myth Behavior. The only problems were that costumes were a cheap imitation (Bares used the leash and the cane first), and the dancing wasn't as good...

Jay Johnson actually has a long and short wig for when he plays Claude. (He had the same type of long hair as Gavin for the majority of the show, the army cut for the finale, and then for bows he came out with his natural hair which was a different length from either previous style.)

I agree with frontrowcentre2 about giving at least one play and/or off Broadway show a try, but steer clear of The Fantastiks. The show is a yawn and a half, and the theatre that it's in is claustrophobic and uncomfortable. If you want to see four musicals, I say go for Hair, In The Heights, Next to Normal, and Ragtime (if dates fit, if not, see South Pacific). If you want to see a play, replace either Next to Normal or South Pacific with God of Carnage, The 39 Steps, or Oleanna. Or throw in ...

Great pictures. My favorite is this one: Where Carole Rothman, the artistic director of 2ST is listed as "guest."

For all of Cry Baby's faults, it's license plate-tap dance number was pretty awesome.

Hair and Next to Normal for sure.

I don't think that asking those questions is so out of line, especially asking where someone was born and raised. In the case of Yuka Takara, you could hear that she had an accent, and in the case of a character who was supposed to be born and raised in Chinatown, that could be problematic if the actor is unable to mask his or her natural accent. I recall noticing Yuka's accent when I saw the show, although it had obviously been worked on so that it was quite minimal, but it was there and it ...

Yes, as long as you are prepared to make sure that they stay quiet or take them out if they're making too much noise. The show is fun and flashy and perfect for a kid as long as they can sit through it.

Peter has been Dennis' associate director for a few years now and has constantly been a vital part of the Bares family for years. Don't worry about a thing.

In the Heights or the revival of Sweeney Todd. (Ask me tomorrow and it might be something totally different.)

I saw Pal Joey with a friend about 3 weeks ago through hiptix. My tickets were $20 each, but they needed to see proof of age for both of us when we picked up the tickets.

I got a picture with her after Deuce, and it wasn't that empty the day that I was there.
