Marissa is great. I wish they would've showed different things, because this and the Broadway Beat video pretty much have the same stuff. I really wanted to see some of the skits with Barrett and Andrew, and the Jersey Boys skit.

Eh. Does she not come off ridiculously abrasive to anyone else? In both backstage vvideos (Hairspray, and this one), she's kind of needlessly nasty? Not even that she was nasty, but I don't think she really needs to be using stupid curses, or stereotyping Jews.

I love Marissa.

Up in Lost...are you serious?!

Up In Lost - it's just her personality. I can understand how her openess and loudness could be a put-off for some people, but she cracks me up. The Hairspray video was hilarious.

And I agree, I would have liked to see more of Barrett and the Jersey Boys skit.


EDIT: I was looking at the Photo Coverage and who is "Matthew Kilgore" and what has he been in? Updated On: 6/24/06 at 02:13 AM

Yes, I am completely serious. Loud and open is one thing, but how about some tact? It's a video for a WEBSITE. How about someone who doesn't really know about Broadway happens on that, and thinks, "Oh gosh, they must curse like this all over the place." Go figure, just a big turn off to me. And I'll be the FIRST to admit I think she is hysterical, and great at what she does, but the stupid cursing is annoying, and not needed.

[Jazzysuite82]

Posted: 6/24/06 at 12:22pm

FYI, They DO curse like that all over the place. You've never been backstage at any show have you. Ohhhh My gosh you'd be surprised the things that go on back stage. I guess the nudity didn't bother you though?

[FosterChild]

Posted: 6/24/06 at 2:08pm

That Hairspray video is pretty amazing--thanks for reintroducing it, mateo! I personally love her energy and honesty.

[Up In Lost]

Posted: 6/24/06 at 2:21pm

The nudity? Broadway Bares is about nudity, about raising money for a really great cause. That's the whole darn purpose of it. Cussing? Not so much. It isn't really offensive, just completely unecessary. In BOTH videos. I'm sure a lot of crazy things go on backstage, but I just don't particularly care for the way she comes across on those videos.

[FosterChild]

Posted: 6/24/06 at 2:26pm

Well, you seem to be on your own, Lost. The rest of us showbiz types seem to like her!

[RentBoy86]

Posted: 6/24/06 at 2:26pm

That's just how she talks. I don't think she was "putting it on" for the camera.

i really love the part where adam fleming grabs her boob and tells her theyre huge.

[Jazzysuite82]

The interesting thing about that video is that's how most actors I know and am friends with actually behave on a regular basis. The make jokes like that all the time. They curse, they're crazy. It's just how actors are. I think the point of the video was to show what goes on backstage at these things. If she edited herself it be sort of fake to me.

Exactly. I agree Jazzy. That is how many Theatre people I know act aswell.
