Not sure when it'll be announced, but my friend's friend will be the Christmas Eve/Mrs. T and MAYBE the Kate/Lucy Understudy.
Here she is singing "My Brother Lived In San Francisco"

Non-equity?

[TheatreFan4]

Posted: 8/27/09 at 4:42pm

They're combining Eve & Mrs. T?

[Pianolin717]

Posted: 8/27/09 at 4:43pm

No, sorry, I guess that was confusing. For sure she is understudying Christmas Eve and Mrs. T and she is possibly understudying Kate/Lucy. Sorry for the confusion.

Ahh okay. So she will be doing MINGLIE CHEN'S track from Broadway.

Yes the tour is non-Eq, but will be using the sets & puppets from the first national tour.

Have they announced stops?

[Pianolin717]

They have. It's on the website.

I'm seeing this tour in June, I can't wait!!!! Are there any clips of his singing?

[Kad]

Posted: 8/27/09 at 5:21pm

He has a decent voice. He's from my hometown, so I've seen him perform a few times.

A guy who was on the "Spelling Bee" tour with me is playing Gary Coleman (they made the character a male role for this tour). His name is Nigel Clark (he was the Mitch/Chip swing in "Spelling Bee")- he's great!

Hello, Brent. How you doin'?

[Dolly_Levi]

Posted: 8/27/09 at 8:50pm

"A 2007 graduate of Seminole High School"

Whoa, they like 'em young, huh?

[Pianolin717]

Posted: 8/27/09 at 8:51pm

"Whoa, they like 'em young, huh?"

I believe so. Julianna Lee (the Christmas Eve understudy) graduated high school in 2008 and just finished up her first year at college.

I wonder why they did that?

Posted: 8/27/09 at 9:03pm

I agree with Parks.

Are you saying that I'M Brent? No I'm not. Someone congratulated (On the Ave. Q tour Facebook) a "Brent" on getting the lead in the show. I then googled "Brent Avenue Q" & I got the article.

"I believe so. Julianna Lee (the Christmas Eve understudy) graduated high school in 2008 and just finished up her first year at college."

Isn't Christmas Eve supposed to be, um, not 19/20? I mean, she has "two masters degrees in social work" and is married to a 32 year old... I hope Julianna can play 'old' convincingly.

Understudies aren't always age(or look) appropriate for the role they are understudying.

[Pianolin717]

Posted: 8/27/09 at 9:32pm

I haven't seen her in anything, so, I'm not sure if she can play older convincingly. I will be honest that I was a little surprised that she is understudying Christmas Eve because of her age and plus, I think she'd be just right for Kate.

"Understudies aren't always age(or look) appropriate for the role they are understudying."

Non-Equity tours aren't always age appropriate.

Robot, is the Nigel Clark that you did Spelling Bee with?

[Robot11]

Posted: 8/28/09 at 2:24pm

Yes, that's him! Although he has a lot more hair than in that picture now
