I've heard that Frieda wasn't there last night because it was GT's last day on the show the night before because he's leaving LMSDFWUDSCZ to do HYUETIANSGCSAFERETYUI at the BYTUIK in LA. Freida has been know to have these freak outs, she completely freaked out on a buncha haters on FB. She PMed UTYQRE23 and THNJUITK after they posted negative reviews of her back when she was in the GNSDAG production of REQWSDC.

OMG!!! Look at what Frieda posted on thr Main Board!!!

Hey Everyone,

It's really early, I'm extremely tired and I've got 4 more shows ahead of me but due to the high volume and extremely panicked phone calls (at the ungodly hour of 7:30 AM no less) emails, voice mails, etc...I feel I have to address this issue personally, once and for all. I also realize doing this is risky, we've all heard the stories about what you guys have done to actors who've come on here in the past and addressed the posters... If I didn't think it was absolutely necessary at this point, believe me, I wouldn't but I don't have a message board on my website or a livejournal... I don't post anonymously on Broadwaysecrets or that other message board that's "oh" so kind to me and I don't use my myspace blog as a place to go on and on about my inner most thoughts, so here I am.

I am an entertainer and I know full well what comes along with the territory... I've been working steadily in the business since I was 12, with varying degrees of success. I have a very thick skin which I would urge anyone who's thinking about getting in to this business to develop as it can be cruel to say the least...with that said, I need to specifically address a few posters on this board and explain a very simple *fact* to them.

When you say, even in jest, that someone has had plastic surgery, it falls under the category of libel and defamation of character, especially if the person you're saying it about is considered a publicly known entity... Rob and Craig know this so I urge you to think twice before going down this same tired old path, again and again...and to the person who thinks they unearthed some revelation about my "real" age, good for you, relish in it until your fingers start to prune...the only place on the planet that needs to know anyones age is the office of social security, short of that, who cares?...If it makes you happy, say I'm 50. From what I'm told, you didn't like me at any point in time so what's different now? If I cared all that much what people thought of me, I'd have defied my mother years ago, changed my name to something common and generic and made it a point to sing in an accessible, lilting soprano. If you don't like me, don't spend the money to come see me perform, don't buy my CD, don't applaud at the end of "World, Hello", whatever makes you happy but you can't, legally, make up some crap about my nether regions. It's as simple as that and there are legal ramifications. I also have a large number of young fans and this is all too unfair, confusing and harsh for them.

I appreciate all of the posters who always "have my back" but honestly, it's ok... I know what I signed up for a long time ago and as I've said many times throughout the years, Broadway "fame" is really scary because the fans are so close, they feel they have a different set of ground rules, which is to say, none. You don't have to copy/paste me threads, or send print outs to the theatre, really, you don't. I don't frequent message boards, never have, never will... I can't and have no desire to control this strange world but again, defamation of character is a whole other ball game, which again, is the ONLY reason I'm here this morning.

I made a point of doing this against my better judgment for the very reason that my fans mean a lot to me and their pain and angst and worry and tears over this is all too much. Yes, they may be overzealous at times but they've been loyal to a flaw and deserve the same in return. I don't imagine this will make the culprits go away nicely and quietly but it has come to a fevered pitch and needs to be addressed.

It's upsetting that this place makes Perez Hilton and All That Chat look like playschool but again, it is what it is... For the record, I don't smoke, I don't use botox, I've called out 3 times in 10 yrs (the rest were either vacations, pre scheduled absences, or favors to my understudies), I stage door as often as possible but it's gotten very difficult while working on the CD as well. I never wanted to play The Lady Of The Lake as badly as some people wanted me to but don't think I'm above replacing. I love my part and I'm not leaving the show anytime soon.

I'm not going to reply, argue, defend myself any more than I already have... I simply signed on to post this one time and one time only in an attempt to squash all this madness... I imagine that's a pipe dream but in all fairness, maybe the 4 or 5 posters don't realize that the things they're saying can't *legally* be said.

Thanks for your time...


Wow!

"I never wanted to play The Lady Of The Lake as badly as some people wanted me to but don't think I'm above replacing. I love my part and I'm not leaving the show anytime soon."

The woman's on crack - her character is Helenica, the anorexic spinster, not Lady of the Freakin' Lake. Has she not read the script?

the stage door manager did me once ... he's hawt!

[PalJoey]

Posted: 6/11/09 at 6:06pm

I don't want to make any of you JEALOUS or anything but Tina and Frieda both made me their FACEBOOK FRIENDS!!!!!!!!

I am sooooooooooooooooooo excited and happy and I know it's cuz they recognized me from the stage door, cuz, like they've both seen me there sooooooooooooooooo many times that they're, like, "Hey, girl! Back AGAIN?"? But not like they're being MEAN or anything, like, cuz y'know, they're smiling when they say that.

And it's so coooooooooooooool to be Facebook friends with them. Tina had 3,497 Facebook friends and Frieda has only like 1000, which I don't understand cuz, like, I have over 4000, but whatevs--she's Frieda--she says she HATES Facebook

Have to run--I'm doing lottery and stage door tonight and doing stage door even if I don't win lottery because now that we're FF's (Facebook friends), y'know, I don't want them to worry or anything, like they did last night, when some girl told me Frieda said, "Hey! Where's that girl who's here all the time? You don't think she got hit by a truck or anything, do ya?"

That Frieda! She's sooooooooooooooooooo cool!

(Are you jealous they're both my FF's? i wd b if i wr u! lolz..)

that's so pathetic, cuz everybody noes that its better to be friends with Sally Olive Galinda on her myspace page. I mean, I was like her first fan, EVAH!!!! Her dog even wears the pink sweater I knitted for her when she was engaged to Mac Kooldish when she was in YAGMACB,the musical of musicals. She let me touch her Tony once.

I can't believe I missed Tina! Obviously broadwayunderstudies.com needs to do more work, 'cause I follow it religiously. Especially since Tarzan, I know that you have to follow the understudies. I tried to do it during "GYPSY" also...

[MotorTink]

Posted: 6/11/09 at 6:44pm

Tina is my second cousin once removed sorta. Mn uncle who had an affair with the nanny who used to go to school with Eydena who once shared the stage with a chorus boy who is Tina's cousin. So that makes us absolute bff's. I tried explaining this to her at the stage door once but I don't think she got it. I mean I made her favorite cookies and even spent 3 hours on each one making sure every detail was perfect. I saw her throw them in the trash can down the street, i mean come on, how could you do that to a fan and bff, let alone a family member? I think I should start making her spinach and broccoli again. I never saw her throw them out!

[shira467]

Posted: 6/11/09 at 7:12pm

Spinach and broccoli? That explains the smell at the stage door last night.

[FindingNamo]

Posted: 6/11/09 at 10:49pm

You guys should act cool in case Frieda comes back. If you're so uncool she might never come back because of the hate.

[Jane2]

Posted: 6/11/09 at 10:54pm

yeah becasue I saw her.

[D2]

Posted: 6/12/09 at 8:22am

Tina never came out the stage door last night and I waited until after midnight but whatever - she was prolly still getting notes. She riffed a little to much during "World, Hello" I don't think that's right but I think she was nervous. I guess because she was doing it with Brad for the first time. He rocked!!!! But they blew the roof off the house during "Finale B1" Evevery body clapped and cheered it was so exciting!

BUT GUESS WHO DID COME OUT THE STAGE DOOR!?!?! Belchon Blowsong!!!!! She told me she's gonna go into LMSDFWUDSCZ as Tina's 3rd understudy when she takes over from Frieda next month!!!!! Belchon is SOOOOOOOOOOOOO good!!!! she sings so AMAZING!!!! shes gonna make a fierce Helenica and I can't wait until she goes on as Helenica! I am so gonna be there! she deserves to be a big star!!! Did anyone see her the one time she was on at THE ENGLISH PAYSHENT The musical? I love Belchon!!!!!

OMG you guys! I just read on that OTHER board that LMSDFWUDSCZ is CLOSING EARLY. A stagehand told his dentist, who told his proctologist who posts on that site, so I KNOW it's true. They haven't told the actors yet, so don't say anything to anybody 'k?

Good thing Frieda has RIR - TM lined up, but WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO TINA?!?!????????????
