"They will join a cast that includes Sherie Rene Scott as Christine Colgate, Lucie Arnaz as Muriel Eubanks, Mylinda Hull as Jolene Oakes and Gregory Jbara as Andre (Richard Kind succeeds him on August 3rd)."
I though Sara was staying longer, but according to the Photo Coverage of Norbert and Johnathon's last she's not. Any info?

Posted: 7/17/06 at 7:45pmThanks. That's good! I saw her live in May and she was amazing!

Posted: 7/17/06 at 7:48pmShe's probably not mentioned because she is only on stage for about ten minutes.

Actually, she's mentioned, just as someone else. Melinda Hull took over for Sara when she was in Grey Gardens and now Sara's back, but I guess the guy just thought she was still gone? I don't know.

Posted: 7/17/06 at 8:24pmI believe there have been a few press releases about DRS where they've had the wrong Jolene (i.e. Mylinda while Sara was in & Sara while Mylinda was in). I've seen both of them, along with Rachelle Rak, and although all three were great, Mylinda was my favorite.

Posted: 7/17/06 at 10:12pmI saw Mylinda as an understand back in November, and then saw Julie Conners as the understudy that last two times I went, so I never got to see Sara, I liked both of them for the little time they were on stage.
It was 6 hours, I don't even like to have sex and eat bacon for 6 hours.

"I saw Mylinda as an understand back in November"
Mylinda was in Sweet Charity in November. She never understudied Jolene, just played the role from Jan. 17th through April 23rd.

Posted: 7/18/06 at 12:04amI've seen Mylinda, Julie and Sara, and nothing against the other 2--IMHO, Sara was by far the best. I missed her screams while she was gone.

Posted: 7/18/06 at 12:15amI have seen Sara, mylinda and Rachelle Rak (I think). I did miss Sara's screams but I must say that the more times I think about Mylinda, the more I believe that she had the acting down better.

There's a special kind of people known as show people. We live in a world full of dreams. Sometimes we're not too certain what's false and what's real. But we're seldom in doubt about what we feel.

I thought Mylinda was much funnier than Sara. I mean, that girl was scary as Jolene!

Posted: 7/18/06 at 8:31amShe's still in the show, but, unfortunately, she's lost some of her spark. I saw the show again last week and she was blatently walking through the performance. She looked so incredibly bored up there and it showed. Having seen her in early previews, I know how delightful she can be in this part, and I hope that what I saw was just an off-night. However, her boredom was definitely palpable last Wednesday night.
"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."
