DEATH BECOMES HER Reviews — Page 19

Yes, congratulations to Nicole for having a part that only requires her to park and bark her two big numbers and run around in a circle flailing about the stage at one point, but is otherwise mostly stationary."

And she’ll win the Tony, so there’s that.

Yes, I believe so as that seems to be the buzz from my industry friends and after the Broadway spring conference that the road prenters loved DBH and it was a big hit! So we shall see om 3 weeks!"

Glad to hear.  I suspected this would be the case.

But honestly, don't think it wins the Tonys, doesn't fit the mold."

I say Thursdays - Saturdays are really the best bet. Other than that go to the BO a half n hour before curtain to see if she’s in

Out of the five nominated shows, DBH would tour the best, though I still don't think it wins Best Musical. It's clearly the darkhorse, as the other four shows are more superior.

They didn't do a Wednesday matinee this week and are doing 4 shows over the weekend instead (two Saturday, two Sunday). According to BroadwayDirect, Simard won't be in the Sunday matinee.

According to Understudies.org Simmard wont do evening on Sunday, but they dont have anything for matine. Could they swap the info or is she missing both?

I only have saturday matinee or both shows on sunday to see this and was scratching my Head to decide a date I could see both.

I guess saturday matinee with the possibility of not having Megan is my way to go.

Megan was out Tuesday. I'd bet money both Hilty and Williams call out of one show this weekend. Or all three will be out on Sunday. Otherwise, I wonder if Dee Roscioli will make their Helen debut on Sunday?"

Natalie Charle Ellis is scheduled for Helen the Sunday matinee

Whenyour two leads have to shriekfor 2.5 hours, they won't be able to do their job no matter how talented they are."

BS

I’m surprised at all the love for Cox. I’ve seen her in several productions and have yet to hear her sing on key. She’s always flat and caterwauling. Not pleasant. 
 

Im all for non-traditional casting but Alex doesn’t seem glamorous in the ways the role requires. I wonder if Sherie Rene Scott would be interested. I think she’d be great. She’s a great actress and can do camp and serve b*#chy. 

As for the continuing attendance issues I think both actresses know they aren’t getting a Tony and aren’t going to lose sleep over missing shows. Meanwhile Nicole goes on steroids to keep singing and not miss shows. 
 

For those saying the attendance isn’t a problem, the fact that you have patrons trying to plan when would be best to see both in the same show is a major problem. It’s a topic of conversation. Begs for a transparent alternate schedule.
