DROOD Audience Voting Result Chart — Page 18

The audience definitely went nuts, Jessie Mueller's face when Jasper won the male lover vote was priceless. There seemed to be a school group or something in the mezz who cheered VERY loudly for Will throughout the show, so I'm guessing that was what did it? I've never seen him get anything but booed before.

A fun show in general, Betsy gave a hilarious final confession, sad to see her go.

im going to closing and whoever on this board reads this- on closing durdles must be the murderer and the jasper-helena lover combination must happen again!!

That's what great about the show, there are so many fun special endings that don't happen a lot, so when you catch them, it's definitely unique. I can't say I've ever not enjoyed an ending, though I do find the Reverend's confession baffling, to say the least. Gregg Edelman plays it for all it's worth, but the lyrics themselves are odd and his reason for murder is weirder (and not, IMO, in a zany comical way).

Did anyone else catch Betsy's last show? Also, I know Rosa/Jasper and Helena/Jasper have been discussed...can anyone shed some light on Puffer/Jasper? SO curious.

I was there yesterday. It was my first time seeing any production of this show and I had no idea it was Andy and Betsy's last performance. Will was telling everyone before the show to "vote for Victor -- he's one of the twins" and Andy Karl was definitely thrilled to be Datcherly. Betsy was mugging like hell to be selected as murderer, too. I feel like I've got to get back to see it again! BTW -- I got 4th row center at the TKTS booth at noon yesterday.

This is the tally of murders so far: (give or take with a margin of error)

Rosa:36
puffer:20
Helena: 16
Chrisparkle: 15
Bazzard: 9
Neville: 8
durdles:2

anyone been lately?

Thanks for the new results. Has anyone seen Erin Davie's confession? How is she?

I was there on Wednesday evening (2/13) and I'm shocked to see that Rosa has won so many times! I purposely did not look at this thread before seeing the show. Puffer got second place, but Crisparkle won by a substantial amount. Janine DiVita was wonderful as Rosa, but is Rosa usually played where it's likely she's the killer? If I recall, Rosa wasn't even in the top three on Wednesday! She was, however, close to being Datchery.

The way Betsy Wolfe played Rosa was very over-the-top and campy and she added a lot of small touches that pushed it in that direction. For example, she used to play with the knives on the table during No Good Can Come From Bad, and she played Rosa's hatred of Jasper really convincingly and to great comedic effect. In addition to that, she campaigned for votes before the show very well and always put on a performance during the voting. So...yes, the short answer is that she was played that way and that's part of why she wins so often. I think also in general people like seeing the innocent, sweet ingenue lose it.

I don't know how Janine plays Rosa, but since Rosa won at the Wednesday mat, she presumably had the #1 spot on Wednesday night? Very hard to get a lot of votes in that spot, they do it so people don't win twice in a row.


Edit: Yes, as wdwsaid, the #1 spot is tough. People haven't gotten the hang of voting yet, it all happens very fast, by the time people are situated and paying attention, they're usually at #3 or more. I noticed when I went the winners were usually #4-6.

Tonight: Rosabud /murderer
Datchery/Bazzard
Lovers/Landlesses

I watched this last night, and it was truly an incredibly fun show. I honestly wasn't going to watch this, but decided to after reading so many positive things from people on this board. SO glad I did. Cast was brilliant. Set was amazing. Kind of wish I was seated in the front row orchestra.

Helena and Neville were voted as lovers, and I noticed that Chita seemed particularly excited watching Andrew Samonsky during their love song. I know this wasn't the first time the siblings were paired up, but it was the first time for Andrew. Very funny...wish I could go again before it closes.
