Ave Q understudies

Posted: 1/29/04 at 12:57pm

has anyone seen any understudies go on in AVE Q. I know John had a week off and this past weekend off to go tape Hollywood Squares. Did anyone catch Barrett?

Anyone seen Barrett or any of the other understudies?

im not too familiar with john t., but i saw his understudy perform at the actor's fund benefit show last month and he was sensational. i didnt realize i had seen the understudy till the show had ended.

I thought John's first understudy was excellent, but Barrett Foa replaced him. I've seen Barrett and he is terrific in the role. A bit different from John (he uses more 'pregnant pauses' to great effect) but still funny and well-sung. And he handles the puppets with great elan.

I've seen Barrett in it only~ but I thought that he was excellent! Can't compare him to John, though, because I only heard the cast recording~ and I heard that it's a bit different from the actual show's atmosphere.

Scudd77- that actually would be quite funny; however, only us theatre geeks would probably get the joke.

I saw Barrett two weekends ago and was really bummed not to see John...but was SOOOOOO excited! He was amazing!! He is such a great singer and actor! He blew us away! and was so sweet at the stage door

I hear Barrett is quite cute too? Can you please confirm! :)

Sidenote on the comment on Hunter's pauses.. YES! I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks he milks the pregnant pauses a little too much.

And now back to Ave Q..

Eeek... I'd say the two that are a bit too long are after Mushnik's "I'll Hold My Breath Until..." and Orin's Death Scene. Both are about 5-10 solid seconds too long for comfort. People started to shift in their seats.

Sorry to be off topic.

I would love to see Ave Q.

Oh yeah, the Orin death scene went on way too long, too long that I felt like I was trapped behind a car that wouldnt move at a green light. I wanted to shout "GO DAMMIT!" Mind you, I was already frustrated with the annoyance that is Kerry's Butler performance.

Well, so far, B should have a couple of more performances in late February, but I don't think that's definite. I'm not sure yet about the other understudies. I'm almost sure that John and Steph will probably stay until the Tonys are over- but that's my guess. Not sure about the other actors...
