KIMBERLY AKIMBO Previews — Page 10

Saw this for a third time tonight. At the first preview, I couldn’t believe how incredible Clark was, so the fact she’s even BETTER now is a bit unreal. She’s just remarkable.

I have no idea what youre talking about but it certainly would be odd if, in the middle of press previews before opening (a show that desperately needs rave reviews), some of the cast members of this tiny ensemble decided to "take a day off" even if it is the Fall where, apparently, "cast members are taking days off and then going on again the next day." If these actors are out, theyre sick.

I'll be at the matinee this Saturday. Loved the show at the Atlantic and saw it in early previews. Victoria Clark is a gem.

There was no collection at the Saturday matinee.

I have a hard time believing this to be true - I’ve seen videos and pictures of (lead) actors doing huge stacks at a time, sometimes by themselves.

Unless there’s some rule that everyone needs to be in the same room at the same time signing these things all in one sitting, in which case I’m happy to be corrected.

Most often shows will have a “signing pizza party” at the start of collecting. It’s typically in the biggest area of FOH and stacks of posters are passed around to kind of “load the arsenal”. If an actor isn’t present then the posters are sent to their room. After that, stacks of posters/playbills are passed around the dressing rooms with a check list so everyone knows which ones they have or haven’t signed. None of this is mandatory btw and by no means do all actors need to be in the building together in order to sign.
