Emily Skinner

This lady blows me away whenever I listen to Side Show, especially in "Tunnel of Love." SHE CAN BELT! I would love to see her originate another role on Broadway soon. How do you feel about her? Agree?

---

Was she in the original cast of The Full Monty or a replacement?

---

Oh...without looking...does she sing "Marry Me, Harold"?

---

she was great in PARDON MY ENGLISH!

To quote Michele Pawk in Bounce....

"Buuuuuuulllllllll****"

HAHA! Last night while I was in bed, I thought about the song I mentioned...I got confused, lol. Marry Me, Terry and Life With Harold. I am an idiot...

I LOVE EMILY SHE IS AWSOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i would love to see here in the little mermaid as ursala!!!!! i also jerry springer the opera in london and there is a part in the show for her! i would love to see her in jerry springer!!!!

Like Patti, Emily Skinner is a force. Producers don't know what to do with either of them. (Excuse me, Patti in "Gypsy," Emily as Ruth in "Wonderful Town?")So, like the smart cookies both divas are, they do straight roles and hone their acting skills. I sincerely believe Emily was the best thing in "Dinner at Eight" at Lincoln Center. It was a big brave gutsy performace, that could have gotten her killed and she went for it head on anyway.
The weight gain thing is intersting. At first I thought she did it to get the soubrette roles she does so magnificiently. Then I realized she's probably been dieting like crazy her whole professional life and just sad: "Fk it, They ain't ever gonna cast me as Marian The Librarian, anyway. Bring on the canoles!"
Everybody loves Em, don't they?
Kisses,
Gladys

I like her a lot. Her voice is so rich and pure, but it also has an edge to her, plus she seems hilarious! I LOVE her CDs w/ Alice Ripley-'specially "Sisters", "Friendship" "Unsuspecting hearts" and my favorite "Alto's Lament". Is there sheet music for that anywhere?

---

Hate her. :)

Mwahaha... well, she may be a hobag, but there's no denying she IS a force to be reckoned with.


I can't see her as Ruth, either... she's too glamorous. It would be one of those moments where you say, "But that doesn't make sense... she's PRETTIER than Eileen... what the hell???" Yeah, I couldn't buy her as the sister everyone passes by... she doesn't have the right look for Ruth, though she could sing the f*ck out of 100 Easy Ways.


Alto's Lament... interesting you should mention the sheet music for that... I'm actually attempting to get my hands on a copy myself (well, someone is attempting to get their hands on a copy for me), but I don't think it's actually in print... I don't honestly know. I know one person who has a copy and that's the aforementioned person in this post. LOL. I had a copy YEARS ago but I lost it... I'm sure its floating around SOMEWHERE.

Do we know who else has recorded this song? I know it's recorded on some other CD... hmmmmm....


And Sabrelady... I feared for my soul sitting in the audience of Albertine... FEARED... SOUL...

Her breasts could have devoured the entire audience... her incessant need to fondle them was indeed a scarring experience in my case. The show on a whole was... bad... however, when a single song lyric is the sole cause of nightmares concerning Emily as a big giant thigh, that's when you know it's crossed a line.

wasn't emily in the last Broadway by the year series? 1935 i think? I'm really looking forward to the next one on monday april 19th. That one has got Karen ziemba who i also love. in fact, didn't emily and karen work together in something, or maybe they were in different showsof the same series? like Encores maybe???

while i agree that miss skinner is talented i cant help but remember all of the times she called out on sideshow for a slew of mystery ailments.
