If Katie Micha was playing Baby June on opening night, who the heck was playing the Balloon Girl?

That was a stupid question!!! Just kidding. Sami Gayle did it because she didn't have to do splits in the role.

Does anyone else think IBDB should change their opening night credit for Baby June to Katie Micha? Considering she performed the role the opening week.

Oh. Ok.

Thanks, dude.

And ljay, it actually says in the understudies section that she performed the role on opening night.

OH. I didn't see that. Good.

She was good in the minor role, not as over the top as Gayle.

But who was playing the role during previews?

Sammi started previews. I saw the show in the last week of previews and Katie was playing the role.

Sami Gayle was not the balloon girl when Katie Micha was on. Some random girl that I did not recognize was. Here is a crummy screen shot of her:

Yup, doesn't look like Sammi to me.

I'll check if I have the playbill slip later.

During previews, Alicia Sable was the Balloon Girl when Katie Micha was baby June.

IMO, she was a better June than Sammi.

I chose, and my world was shaken. So what? The choice may have been mistaken. The choosing was not.

During previews, Alicia Sable was the Balloon Girl when Katie Micha was baby June.

Actually, they hired another child actor to be the balloon girl and cover the other roles while Sami was out. The person in that picture is definitely not Alicia either. However, they did let Sami go on as the balloon girl for opening night.

I resent the title of your post. I know a lot of gypsies and many of them are not dumb. But what was your question about a dumb gypsy again, please?

It's a dumb question regarding the current production of Gypsy.

I saw the show opening week (the Sunday matinee) and Sami was on for Balloon Girl.

mattbrain, no offense, but you DID know I was joking -- right?

I think the obsession with this show is getting a little....creepy.

Some people paint, some people sew, I meddle.

Your question is not dumb. I was at the St. James on Gypsys opening night. I assure you the role of balloon girl was played by Alicia Sable.

I assure you that on opening night, Sami Gayle stood on that stage as balloon girl.
