Becky Gulsvig breaks toe, Lauren Zakrin Elle for two weeks, and also the new Elle? — Page 3

So, understudy board was grossly over filled. We ran into Leslie before the show, she loved my jacket. Ego boost. Onto the show? Mamie and Leslie still did their ensemble roles until about 5 minutes before they had to come on as Vivienne and Elle. They even ran back up as Delta Nus for "So Much Better".
Mamie was HILARIOUS! "Your heart is on the floor!" She mimicked a heart going onto the floor, spit, and then stomped on it. She had good character. Reminded me of a mix of Orfeh and Gaelen Gilliland, but better than Gaelen, if that makes sense..
Alex Ellis was hilarious. Disappointed I didn't see Rhiannon, but Alex was pretty original. She played dead during Omigod when she says "ONLY NO ONE DIES!" and fell down.
Leslie McDonel impressed me! She riffed her high note during the curtain call.
LAUREN was AMAZING. SO GLAD I didn't have to see Becky! She riffed a little bit in the first act, and a few more times in the second act. No Elle really did riff much. DB Bonds and Jeff McLean... idk. Seems like Jeff wasn't good looking enough, and DB was TOO good looking.
Oh, there was a guy up on the bars during the end of "So Much better" He sang a few bars but then stopped.. A majority of the inmates were in drag. Very interesting show, but I loved it! Colleen doesn't really look like a drag queen like everyone said. Not until she came out of the stage door, anyway.
Sara was pretty good as Serena! Can't compare her to Cortney, but she was good! Hope the review was good enough. if you have any specific questions feel free to ask!
Oh, and a new Elle u/s has been hired because apparently Becky will be out for a long time. More than 2 weeks. They can't say who but I have money on Autumn or Kate.
