I still don't understand the appeal for this show. He's a terrible, terrible person and yet people still side with him and cry? I don't get it. And the score is bland. And the staging is awful.
would love to see Mallory Bechtel play Zoe on the tour!
In our millions, in our billions, we are most powerful when we stand together. TW4C unwaveringly joins the worldwide masses, for we know our liberation is inseparably bound.

I kind of expect her to, but I do not find her to be a very good actress. Kind of dead behind the eyes. But considering the fact that she has a history with the show, I'm thinking she'll probably end up doing it.
Ripped Man: I still don't understand the appeal for this show. He's a terrible, terrible person and yet people still side with him and cry?
Anti-heroes are tough. I can handle a "terrible" protagonist if I can empathize with their motivations. Thus I (mostly) forgive Sweeney Todd for his spate of revenge killings and I forgive Evan.
Meanwhile I turn completely against the straight white men in Kinky Boots for verbally and physically attacking their black, gay employee. "Raise You Up" is meant to be this joyous celebration of diversity and forgiveness but I felt like they were only embracing their "magic minority" friend because he'd saved their jobs.
