A Question about Blackbird

*SPOILERS BELOW*









Sooooooo about Sophie Anne Caruso being in the show and not being billed in the playbill or anything else, how does that work with equity requirements about billing/announcement/ etc....

which we did not receive this evening.......

They hand out inserts. If you didn't get one, you must have avoided the ushers.

Yes, it's Sophia Ann Caruso.

Personally, I'm less curious about their decision not to include her in the Playbill, and more curious about:


(A) Why Caruso is not even listed on IBDB. Are they going to add her to the cast when the show closes and there's no risk of spoilers? I think this is her Broadway debut, and she deserves to have her own IBDB page with that credit listed.

(B) Who the background people are, and why they're not in the Playbill. There are people who work in the office who appear onstage occasionally in the background. Are those the standbys? If not, who are they and why wouldn't they get to be in the Playbill? Certainly THAT can't be a spoiler.

Also, doesn't Caruso share the role with another girl? She definitely did when I saw it in previews, because I spoke with the father of the other girl. However, based on what people are saying here it sounds like Caruso goes on more often/maybe is the only one.

This is not her Broadway debut. She was in Matilda.

I seem to recall other shows that have done similar things. When Cabaret played the Henry Miller they didn't hand out the Playbills until the end of the show. The same thing with a show I saw at the Public (can't remember the name....something with "leaves" in the title).

Interesting question though. Can anyone recall any other instances when things were handed out after the show?

She was never in MATILDA. BLACKBIRD is her Broadway debut.

Broadway Guru may be thinking of Sophia Gennusa

Actually I got her confused with Sofia Rubino.

Close, but no cigar. The girls come and go so quickly in Matilda....and Sofia Rubino is in School of Rock now....would be hard for her to do both shows (although it's been done before).

This thread is about Sophia Ann Caruso, not the Sofia you're talking about, so I'm not sure why you keep bringing her up. And why do you have two usernames?
