I don’t believe that"

I do, who’s Miley’s Emcee?"

I would love for Miley to play sally I am a big fan of hers I just don’t think it’s likely. I hope I’m wrong. For Emcee Neil Patrick Harris? Ben Platt? Jonathan Bailey?"

If Miley is in it, it doesn't matter who the emcee is from a box office standpoint. Trying to engage someone even remotely famous would be a waste of money. They could cast Brandon Uranowitz or they could case me and they'd sell the exact same number of tickets.

Extra emphasis on IF.

To answer the question, because your response was irrelevant, yes. There were photos from Peter Pan Goes Wrong."

How is giving the name by which to find photos of him before he adopted his stage nameirrelevant? All you managed to do was say “yes.”"

Was he just a theater actor then? Seems odd for an American to replace?

He's not American, he's from South Africa and went to Theatre School in London.

After that Grammys performance I want Chappell Roan to play sally. 
 

Gerard Way and Chappell Roan would make their money back in a week.

Eva will be great.  Orville isn't exciting for us, vocally.  The big change needed is a new Cliff that is less community theater and melodramatic.

I always thought Noah J Ricketts from TGG would make an excellent Cliff. 

Bebe Neuwirth will play her final performance on March 29, alongside Adam Lambert and Auli’i Cravalho.

Ellen Harvey will replace her on March 31. 

oh cool, I am not a fan of Bebe's vibrato in Cabaret......but she acted well.

Maskless is the only correct choice. The absolute last thing this production needs is more underlining of the Emcee’s strangeness. It’s already presented in bold, italics, and underlines. Hopefully, Orville will recognize this too and doesn’t inherit Adam Lambert’s apparent habit of shaming the audience on top of that.

EDSOSLO858 said: "Who’s seeing Orville and Eva’s debuts tonight?"

I will be there on Saturday. First time seeing this production, and I'm so excited that it's with these two.

Oh, I almost forgot Ellen Harvey starts today as Fraulein Schneider too!

Word on Reddit is that he did an excellent job - and no audience issues like Lambert experienced. Who knows if it will stay like that or if it will creep back in after the initial fan hype dies down.

It felt like, inline with the character, she was literally giving every last ounce of energy, breath, stamina to desperately warn us all about what was to come. Her vibrato just radiating and pulsating throughout the entire theatre almost slightly off pitch to further emphasise the unease.

And then combine that back to back with Adam Lambert’s “I don’t care much”. Wowzers.

These moments haven’t and wont be easily repeated. I feel blessed every day the kind of talent you can see on a New York theatre stage. There is no where else like it."

Erm London.
