"but that she would say such a thing in an interview

it's her feelings, it's her experience and she has every right to express herself any way she sees fit. she didn't say anything wrong. maybe wildhorn will wise up because somewhere along the line someone will call him out in public and it won't be pretty.

[Thenardier]

Posted: 8/26/05 at 5:11pm

CTRL + F - Dracula.

You know what.

They removed what she said about Wildhorn.

Yeah, I can't find it either. Can anyone paraphrase what she said??

CENSORSHIP SUCKS.

[Thenardier]

Posted: 8/26/05 at 5:18pm

Well, as they removed it, I don't think we should.

I'm glad someone else said something. I just read the thing through twice because I thought I missed something.

But please. Be a theatre-board buddy and please, just explain in a polite way what Kelli said in the interview, taking into consideration that it has been removed.

Please. Like this: This section originally appeared in the Kelli O'Hara interview, I realize that it was removed, but this is what it said when it did appear.

That's completely fair, since it originally did appear.

I beg of you.

And here I thought I was just blind.

I wonder if someone said something to playbill.com or if it was a decision made by the editor.

oh my... I wanna see what it says.

Woo! I'm not crazy. Or at least I have one less symptom of it.

I wish I had read this entire thread before I embarked on 20 minutes of CTRL-F "Frank", "Wildhorn", "nudity", "Dracula", "Kelli" ("Oh good, the CTRL-F is working...")...

I thought I missed my meds. Paraphrase, s'il vous plait?

[Thenardier]

Alright.

She basically said that she didn't have a problem, so much with the nudity. That she wore a body suit. She also knew it wouldn't affect any public image she had.

re: Wildhorn and Dracula. She said Dracula was very easy (which is obvious). She also said that she made a lot of friends. I can say that she and Melissa are very close. And she also mentioned that it was great to work with Tom.

She also said that she has done two Wildhorn shows, and she is thankful that the first one (J&H) got her to Broadway.

In her chatterbox interview, she also said that Wildhorn forced her to expand her voice more into the pop/genre, currently popular on Broadway - since she had studied Opera.

That's the most I will say, without giving too much away.

um, thats not how i read it... she said it was *supposed* to be a body suit- which leads me to believe it wasnt?

[rclocalz]

Posted: 8/26/05 at 5:53pm

oh great, no juicy stuff

[Thenardier]

Posted: 8/26/05 at 5:54pm

The juicy stuff is what was deleted.

I dunno. I've heard some say yes, she wore the suit. Some say no.

I felt uncomfortable asking...especially after saying I saw the show twice.

I sat in the front, ad it isn't like the suit "hides" anything.

I seriously thought I was loosing my mind when I couldn't find her comments.

[Type_A_Tiff]

Posted: 8/26/05 at 6:00pm

So did I, Mia. I was seriously like, "Is there a link to Page 2 that I can't see??"

I don't see why anyone would be so careful to NOT mention the "juicy parts" after you were just commending her for being so candid, honest and un-bitchy in her comments, and wishing more actors would take that stance. But meh, I'm not a Kelli or Wildhorn fan or non-fan, so I can't say I'm tearing out my hair here.

Well, I still agree with what she said. She spoke honestly. And if the truth hurts, so be it.

But when I made my first post, Playbill.com had not taken anything down.

Now that they have, it is obvious she struck a nerve. And them taking it down means it shouldn't be repeated.

What I posted above has been said in other interviews Kelli has done.
