Posted: 7/26/10 at 11:51amUnless I missed it, I thought Marilyn Cooper in WOMAN OF THE YEAR would be one of the very first posts. Her portrayal of a suburban housewife singing "The Grass Is Always Greener" with Lauren Bacall only lasted a few minutes but won her a well deserved featured Tony award.

To add on earlier: every character in Lestat with the exception of Lestat, Armand in the ensemble are in either one act or the other.
The Phone Man in Little Voice (a role I recently played) is only in Act I, Scene I. Such a boring role after that...
I can't think of them by name, but many characters in the play Spring Storm by Tennessee Williams are only in one act. And although I only vaguely know Violet, I'm pretty sure there are several characters that don't reoccur.

Actually if the show is done as written that actor is on stage a ton, he literally plays every character seen or heard aside from Seymour, Audrey, Mushnik, the Urchins, and the Plant.

Posted: 7/26/10 at 4:55pmIn the workshop of Dreamgirls, Effie was only in Act 1. Then Jennifer Holliday said "I'm not showing up to belt a showstopper and not be seen in Act 2." So Michael Bennett had to reconceive the show with an Act 2 Effie. But for one brief moment, there was an Act 1 Effie.
