I saw the show during the matinee, and then was told by security to wait until after the show ended to see Bailey (we had given her a present)
I thought Baileys voice and dancing skills were phenomenal, however the acting could use some work..some of it just felt so fake to me it was weird to listen to!
during the matinee orpheh, nicolette, ven, etc. came out...in the night kate, ven, nicolette, bailey, autumn, and a few others came out but i had to catch a train so i couldnt see anyone else (luckily bailey came out early and security rushed her to us because we had to go)
overall i think shes perfect for the role, just needs to work on her acting a bit more..i think shes trying too hard to hide her accent (which came out in a few lines)

Posted: 8/3/08 at 11:43ami noticed on both the curtain call pictures (broadway.com) and the dress rehearsal pictures (jamd) there is absolutely no shots of lucia as enid. Yet both sets took care to show ven as kyle. Come to think of it on b'way.com's coverage of laura bell's last they didn't mention natalie leaving either.

I just got home from the matinee performance. I had seen the show last year with Laura Bell, so I knew Bailey had big shoes to fill. I wasn't expecting much out of her, but I honestly thought she did an amaaaaazing job. I thoroughly enjoyed her performance! She's a such a good dancer, her voice has improved a lot and I thought her acting was great, as well. I was in no way disappointed by her, and I think she's definitely the perfect girl to be playing Elle right now. My friend who had never once watched the MTV show and had no idea who she was, was also very impressed by her. And I thought she had great chemistry with both Richard and Christian. Right before "Find My Way" when she goes to Emmet to hug him, she just ran, jumped and flew into his arms, haha. I thought it was so cute. And she NAILED that last note in "So Much Better"!!
Everyone else was great, too! Orfeh was her usual amazing self, and I got to tell her that after the show. Autumn was okay, Richard was awesome and I'm so sad he didn't come out at the stage door because I wanted to meet him so bad. Same goes for Christian and Bailey, but I guess they never do come out after matinees (even when all the teenage girls were gathered by the door, chanting her name lol).
Oh, and Ven definitely got big laughs today. I know some people here said the audience didn't seem to like him, well this audience certainly did.
Overall, I had a greeeeat time! =)

One more time for those who don't actually read entire threads since it was *just* pointed out, it's O.R.F.E.H.
I don't even get the mistake especially if you have the playbill, just sayin'.

I know it's O.R.F.E.H., that was a typo.

Bailey didn't come out for the matinee but she came out for the evening right? I think there might be another door that actors can use to get out of the theater
That' was so nice of you to get Bailey a present
What did you get her?

Posted: 8/4/08 at 2:34amwho are the actors who [usually] comes out to sign autographs? actors who don't?
#93Bailey as Elle: One Week Later...
Posted: 8/4/08 at 1:10pmIt's pretty random. Usually a good amount of the ensemble will come out. I'm pretty sure Kevin Pariseau is always there. Out of the leads, I think Nicolette and Kate are the ones who come out most often.

Posted: 8/4/08 at 6:23pmYou assume it's going to be Bailey, unless you know somebody who can tell you if she is going to be out that night.
