DROOD Audience Voting Result Chart — Page 19

Decided to catch this once more before it closes. I'll be there Weds night!

Andrew has settled nicely into the role. Didn't really care for him when I saw him earlier in the week. I absolutely adored him today. His "Ceylon" isn't the strongest, but he definitely has found a lot of strong moments and I love his new murderer statement.

Erin, on the other hand, is not up to par. I saw the show both times this week when she was out and was afraid this was going to happen. Janine was far and superior compared to Erin. She plays it a lot different than Betsy and Janine, but that is not what makes her sub-par. Her characterization of Rosa as a ditz is ok, but how she makes her act is where it all goes wrong. Hopefully she gets more settled in the role as time progresses.

He says something along the lines "Did I end Drood's life early because he acted like a girly?"

Question: was Kyle Coffman out of Drood today (2/17)?

How was Jim Walton as Crisparkle?

My fiancee has seen all the murderers, just curious has anyone else? and if so how many shows did you need to see to accomplish this?

took my fiancee 13 times...she saw Durdles the first time, not the fan performance...Kelly2 do you know if anyone else has?

according to the cast he does his confession every night and will never be chosen as the murderer...

If the cast told you that, Ilovekevincahoon, it's rather indiscreet of you to publish it here, don't you think? In any case, Jasper is voted on as murderer every night, and those tallies are posted for all to see.

Durdles has been the murderer twice, as far as I know. The second preview, and the fan performance.

eta: and yes, I've seen all the murderers.

Sorry to jump down your throat, Ilovekevincahoon (I love Kevin Cahoon too). Rereading, I did see early in the thread where someone claimed earlier that SJB said Jasper would never be voted murderer, but why then include him in the voting? It is clear that the actors that tally the vote do discourage audience members from voting for him, as he is too obvious a choice - but he is an option.

Any time I've seen it, he hasn't even come close. I think Rosabud is the most common murderer.

What fun from front tow center -except for all the spit! The house was frightfully empty - how sad for the cast.About 20-25% of the orchestra was empty, and nearly 75% of the mezz.

I thought Andrew Samonsky was wonderful, and I really liked Erin Davie,too. Chita was out (in the evening show)but as I saw her previously, I was happy to see Alison Cimmet and she was lovely

Results:
Datchery -- Helena (really wanted someone else)
Murderer-- Bazzard (wonderful)
Lovers-- Puffer and Durdlez (cute)

Saturday, Feb 22 matinee:

Murderer: Rosa
Datchery: Helena
Lovers: Puffer and Bazzard (both played by understudies, incidentally: Jennifer Foote and Nick Corley)

Friday, February 22nd-

Murderer: Neville
Datchery: Bazzard
Lovers: Helena and Deputy

Chita, Will, and Peter were out. Allison was excellent as always, she's really come a LONG way in the part is truly wonderful despite being way too young. I can't believe I've seen her three times. I really hope Chita is ok.

Whoever was on for Jasper (I don't have my playbill) was truly, truly awful. His voice was fine, but acting wise he always seemed to be giving 75% and not truly going to the truly split personality level crazy or obsession the role needs. He also skipped most of the first verse of "A Man Could Go Quite Mad" just making frustrated noises. He also went up on his lyrics in "Both Sides of the Coin."

I LOVED Davie though. She doesn't mug as much as Betsy (whom I also loved). She seemed to play her as ditsier and a cliche melodrama "lost little girl" and her voice was stunning.

Samonsky...well...his accent truly came and went (and NOT in an intentional "this is a joke accent and is fake" way). He got laughs, but never took it to another level like Karl did.
