I don't know, either. She looks like she may have had a gastric bypass.

She looks great. Her performance in Billy Elliot...not so great.

In an interview for Broadway.com, she said that the training required to go into BILLY ELLIOT, coupled with performing the show eight times a week, has caused her weight loss. In her own words, she says that she has to "go home and eat her face off" just to maintain.


"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe." -John Guare, Landscape of the Body

Have you been very close to someone who has had gastric bypass? It doesn't mess you up as much as you might think as long as you're smart about it.

Skinner looks fantastic and she gives an outstanding performance as always.

Remember when Star Jones said her drastic weight loss was due to diet and exercise?

No, I have not. I'm just going by what I've heard on here and in other places. Thank you for the clarification!

Maybe she got a lap band.

If she did, she doesn't look like the people I know who have lost weight by using lap bands.

I saw her performance in "Billy Elliot" and I could not really understand her dialogue (and I know the book---because I've seen the show many times). Her words seemed a bit garbled---has anyone else experienced this? I was close---in the 3rd row and still had to strain. People around me were expressing the same---maybe it was just that one performance? Her expressions and physical movements were very good, tho. (IMO)

I could understand what she was saying fine. She basically just talks to the audience, after all.

It could be something she picked up in Chicago, because I had a hard time understanding anything that anybody in the cast said throughout the entire show. I understand using an accent, but from what I overheard I wasn't the only person who found it difficult to understand the cast.

You don't have to say much on this board to get your message deleted, huh!

Well I for one understood her well but I guess it's all about what you are used to. Her accent is legit but its a thick british accent. If you are going for authentic good but would be nice to understand the plot too

I had no problem understanding her in the Chicago run, and thought she was amazing.

Not necessarily, the pros heavily out way the (possible) cons.

I do know from personal experience that the first 5 rows or so in the orchestra of the Oriental in Chicago has terrible acoustics, especially for spoken dialogue. When I won the lottery for Wicked, I had to strain to hear the spoken dialogue. I had no problem understanding anything in Billy Elliot, but I never sat in the front orchestra for the show.

Both the Oriental and the Cadillac have awful acoustics and their sound design doesn't do much to help the situation.
