Lea Thompson

I was just looking at a Cabaret website and saw a picture of Lea. Just wondering, has anyone seen her in Cabaret and how was her performance? I've seen her in various movies, including the Back to the Future ones.

I also saw her. Since they didn't pass out Playbills until the end and I was sitting pretty far back, I didn't know who was playing Sally until after the show was over. She was wonderful. I wonder why she hasn't come back to Bway?

Cabaret should never have been one of those shows to submit to mostly lead stunt casting, but whatever. In a slight defense, it's not like the names were huge...more like an 80s flashback.

And yes, I did see Lea. She was my first, and though I don't remember a lot thanks to being drunk off my ass for the first time, I remember crying my eyes out during her Cabaret. She was good!

The "official" reason was becasue the artistic director didn't want the Playbills to distract the audience members. He wanted it to have the feel of a real cabaret.
I also think its because they were trying to push souvenier programs.

Ew--never saw Howard the Duck--the commercials scared me enough *shudder shudder* I think of her from Back to the Future--yay!!! I <3 those movies!

LOLOL- I own Howard the Duck on video. I think it's the WORST movie EVER made. It's entirely unwatchable but hilarious.

Each time I think of the many bad movies she's done (Casual Sex, anyone?) I remind myself of Some Kind of Wonderful.
