Posted: 5/19/08 at 9:18pmHas anyone seen her perform? Does she make the role her own?

Posted: 5/19/08 at 9:23pmI saw the show for the first time last night. Since it was my first time I can't compare her to the past Margots but I did enjoy her performance in the role. Since I know that she's not dippy like Margot is it gave the character an extra comedic edge for me.

Posted: 5/19/08 at 9:25pmO that's cool. Glad to hear she's doing well because I personally thought she'd never pull it off.
#3re: KATE ROCKWELL in Legally Blonde
Posted: 5/19/08 at 9:26pmShe pulls it off quite well.

Posted: 5/19/08 at 10:33pmI saw her at the Sunday matinee and I thought she was great. Adorable and sweet and kinda silly but not braindead. Also aesthetically she fit in a lot better with the other Delta Nus. I can't wait to see her Elle. I really hope she gets to go on with Bryce because she looks really young compared to LBB.

Posted: 5/19/08 at 10:35pmYeah, I haven't seen her in the role but she was adorable in Andrew's Blog for the North Shore production of HSM.

Posted: 5/19/08 at 10:36pmwait, winter why does her youthful look make you want her to go on with Bryce?
#7re: KATE ROCKWELL in Legally Blonde
Posted: 5/19/08 at 10:39pmKate may get the chance to go on sooner than she anticipates since LBB has been battling illness.

I just think Bryce would look more age-appropriate as a romantic opposite for her.
It's hard to tell how Christian would read with someone that young since Annaleigh went on with Noah.
#9re: KATE ROCKWELL in Legally Blonde
Posted: 5/19/08 at 11:54pmI doubt she's ready to go on as Elle yet, nor would they put her on unless there was an emergency at this point. Becky gets most of the shows- Annaleigh went on once, Haven went on twice. The rest of LBB's absences have been covered by Becky.

Posted: 5/20/08 at 12:09amWell, when's Becky's last day? Forgive me but I've forgotten when the tour starts.

#11re: KATE ROCKWELL in Legally Blonde
Posted: 5/20/08 at 12:13amCan't wait to see her. I have to admit, I was a bit suprised when they announced that she'd be taking over the role, I didn't know if she could do it.
#12re: KATE ROCKWELL in Legally Blonde
Posted: 5/20/08 at 12:22amTour starts in Rhode Island on September 29. The way it's being talked about you'd think it starts next week lol

Posted: 5/20/08 at 11:20amyes your right jess, and haven was in the show approx 6 and half months the same as annaleigh was glinda on broadway. i think becky will cover for elle until she leaves the show to do the tour and then i feel kate will be covering elle alot. i can not wait to see her perform kate as margot. nice to read great reviews on her. yes adamgreer is right about becky covering for elle 99.9 percent of the time. i have to say kate did very well after your the one that i want builded herself to get on broadway.

Posted: 5/20/08 at 4:05pmI saw her this past Saturday and she was hilarious. Nailed all of the jokes without over doing it. Great performance!
#24re: KATE ROCKWELL in Legally Blonde
Posted: 5/20/08 at 4:31pmHuh, I didn't know she was joining the show. The last I heard she was doing Christine in Y/K Phantom. Christine to Margot/Elle...Interesting.
