Per Seth Rudetsky's website.
My question is, where is musicaltheatrefan3 and why hasn't she told us herself? hahaha

Posted: 10/8/08 at 8:08pmThat was my first reaction as well, but I'm keeping my mouth shut in fear of saying meaner things.

Wow! odd choice. But she does have the sarcasm for Laurent's new portrayal of June.
Does this mean she will be in the ensemble too, I assume as a Hollywood Blonde?

Posted: 10/8/08 at 8:22pmEmma will be here soon. I see the sky turning purple. She will come with rants about a "Jewspiricy" on why she isn't the lead.

Posted: 10/8/08 at 8:28pmYou do realize that MTF3 isn't actually Emma Zaks, right, NGD?

Posted: 10/8/08 at 8:30pmIn my mind it is. I makes me feel good to think of her behind the computer all suicidal & crazy like.

I can't wait to see MTF explain why she's not the lead.
We all know it's because she sucks!

Wow... Now every time I go back to see Gypsy I am going to be PRAYING that Leigh Ann is in. (I love Leigh Ann and always hope she's in anyway)... but now taking a peek at the understudy board will be nerve-racking as I will be in fear of seeing Emma's name.
Emma doesn't seem perky enough to be Dainty June. The sarcastic June, I can see. But not the "Dainty June."

Posted: 10/8/08 at 9:13pmThat makes sense. She was at the show a few weeks ago and Jerry Zaks is the Resident Director of Jujamcyn.

Posted: 10/8/08 at 10:09pmDoes Leigh even miss performances
#20re: Emma Zaks is the new Dainty June understudy in Gypsy
Posted: 10/8/08 at 10:11pmI pray that she doesn't.

Posted: 10/8/08 at 10:56pmThe reason that I haven't responded yet, is because I am more than 4,000 miles away from New York, and I just woke up but here I will go. YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am definitely going back to New York soon and going to check BroadwayUnderstudies daily to know when she's on. Why she's not the lead June. Well, I think it's because they still want to "launch" Leigh Ann's lead career, so she can stay in "Gypsy" for awhile as June, and then go on to another lead on Broadway, and then they will have Emma go as the lead June, and then they'll send Emma off as a lead in another show ("Wicked" would be good for her as Glinda, but she MUST quit smoking permanently to reach those high notes in NOMTW). THIS WAS ONE OF THE BEST YOM KIPPURS EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT WAS SO NICE OF THEM TO DO THIS ON YOM KIPPUR AS A GIFT FOR HER!!!!!!!!!! I DON'T KNOW IF IT MAKES UP FOR HEATHER AND PAUL'S ANTI-SEMITISM ON SEARCH FOR ELLE WOODS, BUT IT'S STILL NICE TO RECOGNIZE HER JUDAISM!!!!!!!!!

Posted: 10/8/08 at 11:00pmI'm cringing as I picture Zaks attempting to harmonize with Benanti in "IMWM" or belting out "Broadway".
#23re: Emma Zaks is the new Dainty June understudy in Gypsy
Posted: 10/8/08 at 11:01pmThe only reason Emma is in GYPSY is because if Daddy Zaks. Nothing to do with her talent. And I knew the Jewspiracy would come up.
#24re: Emma Zaks is the new Dainty June understudy in Gypsy
Posted: 10/8/08 at 11:04pmI told everyone here a few months ago that Emma would be back on Broadway VERY soon. AND I WAS RIGHT! What has Emma or anyone in the Zaks family ever done to any of you? Why must you always say negative things about her?
