I know they gotta go with people with some B'way experience, but a word to the wise producers: avoid going with post-1997 RENTers. And even then I'm being generous.

yeah.. casting HAS gone downhill...... after all, Sherie Renee Scott WAS the second Maureen... now we have Cristina Fadale.. YUCK.

After seeing his performance in Wicked, I will go out of my way to avoid seeing Norblecch for the rest of my life.

I loved Cristina Fadale! What's wrong with Norbert, Namo?

[Al Dente]

Is Fadale the one that's been there since the stone age? She's absolutely ubearable. She makes Melanie Griffith sound like Marrin Mazzie.

Fadale has been around a LONG time
she did the tour, then Bway.. then left.. then came back.. then left.. then came back.
Her voice is like nails on a chalk board and I want to shove one of those mics down her throatp there

Well you certainly don't lack imagination Ryan

I only speak the truth...

[Seany]

I hate Richard Blake.

And Ryan, just because you can match someone note for note doesnt make you right for the part. No one wants to see a copy of another performer. Maybe Blake will bring something new to the role - but yeah, he definitely wouldn't be my first choice nevertheless.

I know they don't want a copy.. I just meant that I can do that so I must therefore be able to sing what is on teh page and put my own spin on it..

WOW, You guys are ruthless! Give a guy a chance before you tear him down, Jeez!

[broadwayguy2]

Posted: 11/4/03 at 11:13pm

A.)I have not liked him in anything I have seen him in
B.) No matter what, he looks way too old
C.) he stole my role!

Also, he talks about clothes. Fire him.

not trying to be ajerk but i knew this 6 weeks ago.

I didn't think Richard Blake's pic was ugly or even uncute. In fact, if that is an uncute guy, most of us must be quite fugly. =(

[PennyLou]

Posted: 11/5/03 at 1:48am

I don't think he is bad looking. I just think he looks way to old.

[broadwayguy2]

Posted: 11/5/03 at 1:57am

localonecrew,
I read your hint and was HOPING it might be Ashton Holmes from teh Non-Equity tour.. he was Mark.
Why didn't you warn me is was Blake?? I ate right before I saw that headline made me sick!

Richard Blake as Link?!?,Telsey casting strikes again... prepare the Four Horsemen, the End Times have arrived! I'm still getting over his turn in the SNF tour, really a nightmare. He'd make a better Mama Rose.

[Al Dente]

Posted: 11/5/03 at 9:48am

Telsey's? Well, that explains it. MAKE THEM STOP!

[milliegal]

Posted: 11/5/03 at 10:54am

So, what is next for Matt?

[GirlfriendFromCanada]

Posted: 11/5/03 at 11:30am

Isn't Matt doing something with Tarzan? I think I remember hearing that somewhere, but it was a long time ago and certainly could have changed by now. That won't be disappointing!

Speaking of former Saturday Night Fever leads, whatever happened to James Carpinello, who was supposed to play Link in the first place?

I saw him play the role in the Hairspray workshops, and thought he was terrific. Much more at ease than in SNF.

[broadwayguy2]

Posted: 11/5/03 at 1:15pm

Last I heard Carpinello left Hairspray to do a war film.. I THINK I heard something about Bruce Willis in there... and I have nopt heard a word about that film OR Carpinello since....


Yep. Telsey is casting for HAIRSPRAY

I really don't have much background on Richard, so I can't say anything about him. As for Matt, from what I've heard, he needs to leave the show anyway.
