DEATH BECOMES HER Reviews — Page 8

TheatreFan4 said: "I commend them for diversifying the numbers they do on TV, but I feel doing this particular one kind of just took all of the jokes out of seeing them in rapid fire succession if you'd seen it on TV. At least in person you see Ass."

Unpopular opinion but I prefer Kayleigh Cronin in the role. Also, in HD those costumes look really cheap and tacky on Hilty. 

I saw Kaleigh the first time she went on. I was initially a bit disappointed Megan was out, but Kaleigh was great! 

I saw it a second time because I wanted to see it with Megan, and she was spectacular, as expected. They both have a different take on the role, and Megan leans into the campy melodramatic divadom that I really live for. In many ways, the role does seem tailor made for her. Her line reading of "semester..." still cracks me up! 

 

The Tonight Show performance was fabulous, but it really is a different experience seeing it full-blown in person.

No, she hasn't been out this week.

Natalie Ellis! If you’re still lurking on here, I noticed you had your Madeline put in yesterday! Congrats! Did Kaleigh also have her Helen put in or is that still coming up! Must be such a difficult task having to remember both of the leads on top of your ensemble track.

She did the option up when I went in December!

she blew off Once On This Island after 3 performances? She couldn't sing the score in AIDA and was a terrible Roxie in Chicago.

Sieber was out of the matinee today. Simard and Sieber are both out of the evening show. Natalie Charle Ellis on as Helen; Bud Weber as Ernest. (Hilty on as scheduled.)

I was waiting to see if she'd respond, but I don't think she's around anymore or will be. After DanS3 posted above about being disappointed about seeing understudies when she was on, she posted a screenshot in her IG stories saying she should stay off of message boards (which honestly is probably sensible for all performers). But if you didn't get your answer, BroadwayWorks posted a few days ago that it was a put in for multiple covers:
