And just as I read this, my friend texted me about having an extra rush ticket.
...Fate? I think so. I will TAKE that rush ticket and go enjoy the best Elle in that company.
Are you going to matinee or evening? I'll be at evening!
Evening, matinee would be way too short notice for me to get in.
So glad to see her.... again. What can I say? She clearly only goes on when she knows I'm coming to the show.

One day I'll get to see Becky. Not today.
Er, so I'm told Lindsay Nicole Chambers was on for NOAH tonight as Aaron? Anyone know how that went? And...what other understudies were on for which that had to happen?

i saw andy in his reguler roles when i went back in june & i have a quick question. in the playbill it says he is kyle, dewey, & grandmaster someone. i would think that would be in what you want but i didn't see him in the number at all. so can someone clarify who grandmaster is?

During "What you Want" he is the almost rapper type guy that sings around Elle to try and stop her from studying.

really? i would never have guessed that was him.
fyi:
-- 10.23.07: Becky Gulsvig will be on as Elle in LEGALLY BLONDE this week from Wednesday, October 24th - Friday, October 26th.
...for everyone who has not had the chance to see Becky!Elle yet. (And now I'm wondering if Becky or Laura Bell is doing the Blonde Actors Fund show tonight.)

Hmm- ok, a few hours later, and the Becky Gulsvig info that I posted is now no longer on the Broadway Understudies website- no clue if that means she is no longer going on, or it's just it's no longer allowed to be announced that she's going on...

LBB changed her plans - Becky's not going on this week.
is Noah's hair a staple of the show? as in... do his swings wear a wig like his hair? Or do they have a different, generic male hair style?
I'm sure they have a generic hair style.

So I have a random question.
When one of the understudies is on for Elle or Warner, do they still use the banners with Laura and Richard's pictures on them in What You Want? Or do they just cut the banners out of the choreography?

When I saw Becky on the 16th of Sept, I'm almost positive those banners were cut. There are two of them, I believe. (?)
The banners just say "Elle and Warner" on them
yep, Becky was on as Serena for the matinee today, and then from what I understand from a couple of folks who were there the evening lineup was:
Becky!Elle
Kevin!Callahan and
Cara!Serena

Becky was great as Elle tonight - this is my 2nd time seeing her in the role and she seemed much more confident. And it's so refreshing to hear the last note of Act 1 performed well.
Kevin was so-so as Callahan. He didn't "wow" me.
I really liked Cara as Serena. She has a lot of sass - and a great voice to boot! She came off as a older than the other girls, but she's very funny. I enjoyed her.
On a random note - I noticed tonight at the very end of the show that Warner gives Brooke the engagement ring (and she accepts it). Has anyone else noticed this?

That's so weird... really?

Yeah. I thought it was strange. She puts it on and wiggles her finger while admiring the ring. (they're definitely not the center of attention when this occurs... it just happened to catch my eye).

Yep- and Richard Blake talks about the backstory that he and Nikki Snelson created with regards to this in his most recent blog...
