I will be there on Sunday. I'm in the vertigo inducing balcony seats. Actually I'm in row B of the balcony which isn't that bad unless the people in row A in front of me decide to lean forward in their seats the whole night.

Eek, can't believe people are rushing overnight for partial view/balcony seats. You are better people than me!

I heard that they only sold out rows AA, A,and B out of student rush tickets and that they're giving the rushers rows C and D...not sure if it's true though. Does anyone know for a fact that the rush seats are balc seats?

Rows B, C, and D are not rush seats..at least not center orch. Those seats aren't "rush seats" ever. Unless you mean the side orchestra box seats? In which case there are only like...maybe 6-8 of those on each side, though I heard those were sold out as well, but that may or may not be true.

I remember back sometime last summer the rush seats had been bought out by a company associated with the show, and when I rushed, I was given row Q on the side, in the orchestra, and others were given rear mezz, and a couple people were given Row A in the balcony. I'm going to assume that they have some seats similar to those that they give out when the seats in rows AA and A are sold out.

Don't know if this is true, but I hear LBB bought a huge block of seats for her friends and family....I'm sure those are somewhere near the front orch. I would advice against overnight rushing, there isn't even a guarantee that you'll get anything at all!

Is Kate Rockwell going on for Elle on the 7/23 matinee? I hear Bailey doesn't start until evening.

[yankees1253]

Posted: 7/21/08 at 10:15pm

yes she will because she is the only elle understudy.

[jonartdesigns]

Posted: 7/21/08 at 11:55pm

so, who's replacing Gaelen now that she's in 9-5? As I've mentioned before its gonna be a hell of a track to fill (3 key ensemble roles, plus understudying 3 leads)

[dinglehopper89]

time to add Autumn Hurlbert and Lauren Zakrin to the list of Elle understudies

[Kelly2]

Posted: 7/22/08 at 12:03am

What 3 leads does Gaelen understudy? Only Paulette and Vivienne, no? (Unless we're including Enid, which IMO is not a lead)

i dont like that decsion. kate rockwell should be the only elle understudy.

[jonartdesigns]

Posted: 7/22/08 at 12:56am

well enid is supporting but i was lazy and didn't feel like typing it.

Enid is listed in the Ensemble section of the Playbill.

It's not really a good idea to have one Elle understudy. If Kate and Bailey both called out, then um, no show?

I'm sure that if the rumor is true that Autumn is getting Becky's track then she will go on because 1) The Margot hardly gets to go on as Elle (Haven got 2 shows, Annaleigh got one) and also if they have Autumn covering it then they are still promoting the reality show in some respect.

Yes, friends and neighbors, this total f**king HORROR is finally over. Shame on all of you for watching this corporate tripe.

ALL of you!

just wondering in the search for elle woods in the finally one of the ensemble girls had a wig that lookd like leslie kritzer's real hair...i don't recall the girl's name but i thought she was a swing. why wuld they want a swing?

"just wondering in the search for elle woods in the finally one of the ensemble girls had a wig that lookd like leslie kritzer's real hair...i don't recall the girl's name but i thought she was a swing. why wuld they want a swing?"

I'm pretty sure Cara Cooper wore the same wig when she was a swing in her ensemble roles. It looked like Tiffany Engen in the episode and since Cara/Tiffany cover Serena, it probably does double duty.

On another note, I was looking on the who's who on the Legally Blonde website and it lists Rod Harrelson as being in the ensemble and also Josh Franklin (who now covers Emmett). I assume someone took Nathan Balser's spot and that Josh Franklin was brought in to cover Emmett since Ven Daniel definitely doesn't look like Emmett material. So my question is, did they just add an extra man into the ensemble?

I hear Autumn is going on for Bailey tonight, since Bailey blew out her voice.






:) Kidding, just kidding.

It does say on Orfeh's MySpace that she will be out all weekend. I'm going tonight and probably not again for a long time but the weekend should be interesting with Bailey and I'm guessing, Amber.

I was wondering the same thing about the male ensemble situation and I thought I had heard Paul Canaan was leaving the cast on Sunday as well, but he is still listed on the site. Maybe Josh took over those roles and Rod took over for Nathan Balser. Did Andy Karl have any ensemble roles i.e. did he appear in "Whipped Into Shape" or play a Harvard student because if so, maybe Josh is playing this part of the track while Ven only does Dewey/Kyle/Grandmaster Chad. Just a thought, I'm just giving theories wondering whether they added an extra cast member or not. Also, are Casey Leigh and Dani still with the cast as swings or is one of them playing Gabby?

[dacvingwolf]

Posted: 7/24/08 at 2:39pm

he did play a harvard student because I remember seeing in a forum a picture of him with a Harvard rowing shirt on

[jonartdesigns]

Posted: 7/24/08 at 4:13pm

since it seems obvious ven daniel is not understudying callahan, what will happen if michael and kevin are both out?

[Kelly2]

Posted: 7/24/08 at 4:46pm

They'll fly Andy Karl in from L.A. and make him go on again? I hope? Because goddamn he was awesome.
