Legally Blonde understudies- Page 42

Hmmm...that was an error in my original post. I'll go fix it. At least on Thursday, there was no understudy for the Stenographer, which means it must have been Casey.

The only time that Mom showed up was in What You Want and they altered who said what in the remix. It was something like:

ELLE'S DAD
Look!
She's leading a parade!

ELLE,
Dad!

SOMEONE (don't know who, maybe Elle)
Get a picture!

ELLE'S DAD,
Just one more please cause she's

CHORUS,
Legally Blonde

ELLE'S DAD,
Everyone say cheese!
No say legally blonde!

Ok... so on Bailey's Youtube account page she mentions that Autumn has gone on once for her to give her a break. When did this happen and how did I miss it?

Bailey has a youtube account??? What is it?

[Vanessa2]

Yeah, since when does she have one?

[adamgreer]

I don't believe she has missed a show yet. Autumn is quite active on her facebook, and has said she would post if/when she went on. No such posting has occurred yet.

You would have heard something, I am sure, had she gone on.

Saw the show last night for the first time and it was fantastic.

Had 2 understudies,
Asmeret Ghebremichael was on as Brooke
Tiffany Engen was on as Pilar

Both of them were fab, as well as all the rest of the cast.

(Jason Gillman and Jody Reynard were also on in Kevin Pariseau's track last night- unless it's been so long since I've been there that Kevin's no longer in the show or something...)

Isn't Asmeret!Brooke *fierce*??? "You think I woke up with this ass?" Love it.
And that was excellent covering during Whipped- after the fact I had to actually ask other people I knew who were there too last night "ok, I saw the jump roper walk off on stage right, and I saw Asmeret pick up that second rope on stage left, but did I somehow *miss* the part where the jump rope went flying cross stage?" And apparently I had.

Ye i saw her walk off but missed the dropping of the rope - very well covered.

I loved her as Brooke, especially in the Legally Blonde Remix.

I don't think he's left the cast...the last time I saw the show (about two weeks ago), he was the only understudy listed for Callahan (and he was on that night). Is that odd, to only have one cover for that role? Have they hired another cover? I actually think Jason is old enough looking to cover that role, maybe they'll make him a cover.

Don't tell Jason that. I don't think he thinks he is old enough to cover that role.

Richard Blake will be out next week. He's on vacation.

adamgreer- I actually didn't even look until you pointed it out, but yep according to the Playbill I got two nights ago Kevin is the only Callahan cover... considering that Andy Karl never went back on again I guess they just cut that part of that track, and Ven Daniel isn't a second Callahan cover (can you even imagine Ven!Callahan?), but it is a little odd there's not someone listed as a second Callahan cover...

It is a damn shame that Andy Karl never went on again after that one weekend last summer.

Richard Blake will be out next week. He's on vacation.

You don't happen to know how Matthew and Jason are splitting the week, do you? (if they're even splitting the week). I'd be VERY tempted to go see Mathew!Warner again, because he's so wonderful in that role.

So has anybody heard anything about any upcoming Kate!Elle or Autumn!Elle? I assume Autumn is techinically the first cover? I guess the chances now of seeing Kate as Elle are pretty slim.

[jonartdesigns]

Posted: 8/22/08 at 11:46am

Well I think you'll get one shot to see Kate as Elle. Based off the Margot track record she'll get to go on once near the end of her run with the show.

ElephabaRose, Elle's mom says both the lines-

"Get a Picture! "
and "No Say Legally Blonde"

in Legally Blonde

[jonartdesigns]

Posted: 8/22/08 at 1:03pm

shh282- actually what she's referring to is how it was done cara massey's first night on as vivienne (which is on *that site*) that they were short on swings so elle's mom couldn't be in the remix

[andrewcomp]

Posted: 8/22/08 at 7:23pm

Yeah, Tiffany split like two roles for the first act. Poor Tiff, covered Stenographer track and Mom track.

[defyingravity23]

Orfeh will be out from tomorrow's evening performance.

Who's the new Paulette u/s? I wonder who's gonna be going on for Orfeh..

[adamgreer]

Posted: 8/24/08 at 2:22pm

Amber Efe and Cara Massey cover the role now. I would bet Amber goes on tonight. Updated On: 8/24/08 at 02:22 PM
