Becky Gulsvig - July 6th - Last Day with the Broadway Company

Posted: 6/14/08 at 11:50am

I asked her and she e-mailed me saying that it is July 6th. So, get your gift ready and send it to the Palace, her manager, or her agent by then. I have all of those addresses, so you can PM me if you want them.

Yeah. Like its also rumored that she's being considered for Elle in the 1st US Nat'l Tour, which seems unlikely she'll even get.

This has been posted on her website for weeks now.

"Here's to the worst Elle EVER!"

You're making a toast to Annaleigh Ashford?

Nope, Becky. In my opinion, she was the worst Elle.

Sad day Looks like I'll be going to New York to see Legally Blonde! Depending on who gets cast in other roles. But seeing as how it's going, I won't be seeing the tour.. Natalie as Paulette? WTF.

Andrew...that was uncalled for. You may not like her which you're entitled to, but did you have to be so crass about it?

I'll definitely miss Becky. I saw her as Serena, Margot and Elle and enjoyed her in all three of the roles, especially Elle.

Yeah you're right. I just don't think she's right for Elle. Her Margot and Serena are good though.

Well Becky is my favorite Elle! Everyone says she isn't as energetic as LBB but I think LBB goes over the top in her acting and with everything like that. Becky can hit all of the notes and I think is much better than half of the girls on the tv show. andrewcomp, you think she's the worst Elle but prefer Haven Burton I'm gathering from your avatar? She wasn't anything to brag about.

I liked Becky as Elle a lot. In fact, the only one I have not liked was Annaleigh Ashford. Haven Burton was my favorite, though.

Bashing Becky Gulsvig, a new low for bww.

Haven was definitely the best vocalist I have heard as Elle. She sounded amazing and I really enjoyed her character choices. Her dancing was not great but I think if she had gone on more and had more time, she could have become more comfortable in the role.

I think Becky is fab too and to me is more believable as Elle than LBB.

There isn't Becky bashing whatsoever here.. Bashing would be saying "BECKY SUCKS CAUSE SHES UGLY AND 2 FAT LOL" I said I didn't enjoy her and wouldn't be going to see the tour because of her... That's not bashing, that's not enjoying a performer.

"July 6th couldn't come soon enough! Here's to the worst Elle EVER!"

Pretty sure that's bashing.

Technically, you're saying that a dead chimp in a blonde wig twitching to "So Much Better" would be better than Becky when you say that she is the worst Elle EVER.

"So, get your gift ready and send it to the Palace, her manager, or her agent by then. I have all of those addresses, so you can PM me if you want them."

I've never heard of "Happy Last Day" gifts.

Why would you send a gift to her agent anyway? They'd just take 15% of it.

Giving actors gifts is so stupid. If you really want to support a working actor, give them money for food or a 20oz bag of pot.

Not like "Happy Last Day gifts" in Becky's case more like a congratulations for such a great run and congratulations on getting Elle on tour. And Becky is fantastic and the nicest person I have EVER met in my life.

"July 6th couldn't come soon enough! Here's to the worst Elle EVER!"

Wow. That's really some "constructive criticism" you've got going on there.

I didn't see her perform the role, but I saw her sing "So Much Better" at an event and have seen other stuff, and I think her vocals are superior to Laura Bell Bundy's.
