Cabaret Casting Rumor: Orville Peck & Eva Noblezada — Page 13

There is a tenant lined up for the Spring, thus why they are closing in October and not January.

It is faster to tear this kind of stuff down then to build it up

They're 16. Cut them some slack.

The word of mouth that went about Adam and Auli’i wasan absolute godsend, bringing tons of people to the show who wouldn’t have seen the show before. Plus, those two were one of the best emcee and sally pairingsI’ve ever seen.

Orville peck is Orville peck, the man is too sexy I cannot say anything else for my own good without ending up on at least three government watchlists. Eva is a deep and passionate sally, Sally isn’t a “singer” but Eva sure can make you believe.

Ending with Billie porter is just letting this show crash and die. I mean, I’d rather see a plank of wood play the emcee. There could have been one last big stuntcast to make *SOME* money back, but we’re start seeing half empty houses with these two. I love Marisha, she a damn menace as sally but I cannot see this selling at all.

Gerard way and Billie Joe were right there. That would’ve made money.

i hate this is the end for the show. A slow and decrepit death. It had its problems, but i loved this show, but this.

this is just ****ing sad."

 

You are 100% right! Closing with Billy and the other girl who I don't know is a big disappointment and I doubt this will last for the remaining scheduled run and close earlier. They should have just closed with Orville and Eva and market as last 4 weeks with them!  They needed a better casting director with fresh ideas such as the team over at Hadestown as they know what they're doing and continue to cast with interesting ideas. I'm surprised that the show didn't do better wth Orville and Eva because they are AMAZING and gave the show a much needed lift and both received widespread praise from critics and audiences so what happened ... Is it marketing or what?

I know Wallace started her career on Broadway, bounced over to the UK, got famous for something, but i honestly don't know what for.

I think she started to become a well known name in the West End after originating Adelaide in the recent immersive guys and dolls production. But she always has been well received by regular theatre goers starting with Dreamgirls, and had well received supporting parts in shows such as the Daniel Fish Oklahoma (ado) and Hairspray (motormouth). I suppose she can much easier differentiate herself in the west end because in general the quality of broadway musical performers are higher than west end. I’m happy that she can ‘return home at last’. 

But almost no one in New York knows who she is - there is 0 chance she could do Sally on Broadway without Billy so if people can not find something redeeming in his performance (which surprises me - and yes it’s Billy doing Billy but I see that as a good thing the same way I would say Patti doing Patti or Bernadette doing Bernadette is a good thing) at least they can be a bit thankful he is helping provide this opportunity for Marisha!

I have a car, tattoos, and a job.

I think if I’m able to drive, work, and get silly little pictures put on my body I’m able to be on a message board.

I just got overwhelmed and overly emotional over it and typed a really long and dumb message. Damn my autism.

I’m not a toddler in need of parental guidance on the internet, I think I’ll be okay."


I absolutely love your passion and I’m so happy to hear the show had such a profound impact on you. Who cares what anyone else thinks?

It’s worth it for Orville. 

Made a return visit to the Kit Kat Club last night, and:

Orville: He is good. Less clown, more menace. Something about “Money” didn’t land for me.

Eva: Sang her face off, and her Sally is quite petulant, coming across very much like a little girl. It works. Liked her more than Gayle Rankin, but Jessie Buckley is still the standard, for me.

Ellen Harvey: My goodness, what a terrific performance! She actually stole the show for me, and she got the loudest applause from the audience. There were two people behind me audibly sobbing during her final scenes. Just remarkable. 
 

Ultimately, the piece is still the star here. This is probably the greatest musical, or my favorite, at the very least. I loved this production when it first opened in London a few years back, but something about the New York production feels like a puzzle piece that just doesn’t quite snap into place. Even with Eddie opening the show when it transferred to the states, something was off.

Thanks for answering the question. Since she was on Big Brother Celebrity UK, I assumed she was a celebrity over there. But she only has stage credits.

Saw this a few weeks ago after having seen it in London with Maude Apatow & Mason Alexander Park. I liked it but with Orville & Eva I finally saw the brilliance of the production. Orville in particular blew me away.
