Posted: 6/27/07 at 10:22pmShe's currently standing by for Celie and Nettie in "The Color Purple" (though she's only doing the show for six weeks until Montego Glover returns.)
Tonya Pinkins: Then we had a "Lot's Wife" last June that was my personal favorite. I'm still trying to get them to let me sing it at some performance where we get to sing an excerpt that's gone.
Tony Kushner: You can sing it at my funeral.

Posted: 6/27/07 at 10:34pmI didn't know that! That's so exciting! I love Saycon. I hope she stays with the company of The Color Purple as a fulltime Nettie when Darlesia leaves. When does Saycon leave?

Cheyenne Jackson tickled me. AFTER ordering SoMMS a drink but NOT tickling him, and hanging out with Girly in his dressing room (where he DIDN'T tickle her) but BEFORE we got married. To others. And then he tweeted Boobs. He also tweeted he's good friends with some chick on "The Voice" who just happens to be good friends with Tink's ex. And I'm still married. Oh, and this just in: "Pettiness, spite, malice ....Such ugly emotions... So sad." - After Eight, talking about MEEEEEEEE!!! I'm so honored! :-)

saycon was never promoted because while she does have an exceptional voice her acting was eh...
and she couldn't even handle doing all of her shows as a standby i don't think she's built for 8 shows a week.
Can, can I have it?

Posted: 6/27/07 at 11:17pmInteresting, as I never thought Saycon would bother returning to TCP. I commend her, though, for getting the work that she does; a pretty impressive resume for someone I always found to be bland to passable.

Posted: 6/28/07 at 12:32amShe can sing quite well but her acting is tragically bad. It is hard to sit through her performances. She's very forced, at times over enthusiastic and she over elocutes a great deal of her dialogue. I'm always happy to see performers get work, but she could stand to invest in a few acting lessons.

Posted: 6/28/07 at 12:44amShe over elocutes? Really? Way to make up a word...

ShuQ: I didn't make up a word.
From the Oxford English Dictionary:
Elocute: To practise elocution; to declaim in an elocutionary manner.
Elocution: The art of public speaking so far as it regards delivery, pronunciation, tones, and gestures; manner or style of oral delivery.
Thusly, to over elocute is to speak, publicly, in an exaggerated manner.

Posted: 6/28/07 at 2:03amthe only thing i've seen her do is mimi in rent a couple years ago. she was excellent in it - though a little pitchy at times. one of the best without you renditions i have heard though.
