Profile for Merrill

Randomly, as I was driving home today at lunch I saw Lauren walking across the street with another cast member (whose face I couldn't see), and recognized her because she turned around. She has a very pretty smile. I think LBB has a cute Elle, but I would have loved to see Becky Gulsvig's Elle because I've seen videos online and heard nice things about her. Still debating on whether or not to get a matinee this weekend to see Lauren's Elle, but heard from colleagues at work that she was a lot...

Glad it wasn't just me that thought she might be battling a cold. She really is outstanding, with or without a cold. And it's LBB again this Thursday :) Lauren doesn't perform as Elle again until the matinee on the 21.

Judging by seeing her from the MTV broadcast of it vs. her on Friday night -- she sounded like she was a little sick actually -- her speaking voice was raspy in some parts and she didn't hold the note at the end of So Much Better the entire time -- she took a breath halfway through and I think she was off a tad to begin with, but the music drowned her out honestly.

Oh gosh I love Annaleigh, I would love to see her as Margot again but I read somewhere she was starting to read for a new show once Wicked closed in Chicago. And I too am curious as to what happened to Rhiannon.

And crap, I wish I had bought the 14th performance! Could have made some money off the deal. Ah well, I'm excited for tomorrow night and seeing Laura Bell.

I am seeing this tomorrow night with my husband (he's not as excited as I am, unfortunately, but putting on a good show), and I was curious as to the posting on the tour blog regarding the "new Margot." I am curious as to whether anyone has any idea on who this is and when they'll be joining the tour?
