Was it Frances Mercanti Anthony? She is the understudy for Adult Women.
Also, wow. I am definitely surprised they put her on as Wendla so early. I'd have thought that they'd put Phoebe on and have Alexandra be Anna. Alexandra definitely looks insanely young and would make Groff look like a child molester. I hope I never have to see that. Him with Gerard was odd enough.

Posted: 8/25/07 at 8:06pmIt def wasn't Jen. She was on for Lilli that day. I thought it was Frances but I don't think Frances is chubby and she looked wayyy younger than Frances. I just looked on the website and there isn't a mention of a name anywhere.

Maybe she looks different in person, but from her headshot she doesn't look that young at all:

Posted: 8/25/07 at 8:14pmFrances really isn't chubby but she is the only other person that it could have been, I think. She's got curly dark hair and was in Jenn's chair when I went and Jenn was out.

well considering she's a woman
she would look chubbier then her younger co-stars
and I've seen her in the chair and thought "how could someone so youthfull go on for adult woman' and she owns!!! as adult woman.
I really want to hear how alexandra did
and groff looks 18 at least
so chillax guys
the show is about teens having sex
god forbid actuall teens do the role

Christine is out for the evening, too.
She had a planned vacation from August 20-25.

Posted: 8/25/07 at 9:51pmWait, I thought they weren't gonna let her do it because she's only like seventeen. And, yeah, she's Remy's height. Awkward...

She was a great Wendla.
I thought she had great chemistry with Groff.

Posted: 8/25/07 at 11:20pmI'm not sure if this belongs here, but since we're talking about the original story line and I didn't want to start a new thread, can anyone tell me where I can get a copy of the original script for Spring Awakening? Thanks!

Posted: 8/25/07 at 11:24pmHow old is Jen Damiano? I thought that she was supposed to understudy Wendla, but she was too young at the time. Is she of legal age now?

Posted: 8/25/07 at 11:25pmA store by the Ambassador and O'Neill has it. It's called Colony, I think. Sorry I don't know the address but I get around the city by knowing where the theatres are!

Posted: 8/25/07 at 11:28pmWow! Jen looks older than 16. Some of these cast members look a little too young or old for their age.
#46re: ALEXANDRA SOCHA as Wendla 8/25 Mat.
Posted: 8/25/07 at 11:30pmThreadjacking for a sec, and this is totally random, but is Alexandra's last name pronounces so-ka or so-sha?
#47re: ALEXANDRA SOCHA as Wendla 8/25 Mat.
Posted: 8/25/07 at 11:51pmI've been saying and hearing "so-sha".
#48re: ALEXANDRA SOCHA as Wendla 8/25 Mat.
Posted: 8/25/07 at 11:58pm"Spring Awakening" is available on Amazon.com and I would bet money you can find it at the Drama Bookshop.
