Legally Blonde understudies — Page 5

I saw Becky Gulsvig go on for tonight's show and she was really great! Her voice is PERRRRFECT for the role. It's the 2nd time I've seen the show and the only thing I felt she lacks that Bundy has is the comic delivery/comedic timing...I otherwise thought she was FAB.

I noticed when I saw the show in July that they were to the side hugging, but I didn't notice that he gave her the engagement ring. Thanks for that!

Anyone have any idea if Andy will be on tomorrow too? I'm going for a friend's birthday and would be so thrilled if he happened to be Emmett.

fyi, Christian Borle's going to be out on Thursday night, Noah Weisberg's going on as Emmett.


(...and yes, I am aware it's funny to see this with my sig file. :))

what do you mean by "riff"?

AHHHH!
and I'll be in TOWN!
AHHH!
Clumsy, MUST GO!

Yay, I remember you mentioning before wanting to catch Noah!Emmett, so glad you'll be in town!

eta: imnotthatmart- I was there for the matinee yesterday also, and yes agreed much love for the Becky riffing- I did enjoy the "So Much Better," but there was actually this note she hit in "Positive" where I was all 'what was *that*?'- it was great! And, I also really enjoy the people around me who, before the show starts, are complaining about the u/s slips, because LBB is out and so they don't have 'the real one,' and then at intermission can't stop raving about how much they love Becky- much love for understudies love.

"Clumsy-
Yes. I'm totally gonna ask if he poisoned Christian too!
HAHA.

I will hopefully be there on Thurs too, and I will lol if I overhear this at the stage door!"

YAY!
I'm dying to go.
I'm gonna beg like crazy. =)

If you hear it, look for me.

Lol, yes Clumsy, I was there...did you enjoy Noah!Emmett? Cara!Serena being on last night also was a nice surprise- I love being able to watch understudies.

But yes, much love for the Noah!Emmett love- there were these folks behind me who, before the show started, were complaining about Christian being out, blah blah blah, and then at intermission were all "OMG we love the Emmett understudy! Where's the stage door? We have to meet him after the show!" And it was making me laugh.

Then again, a lot of Act I was making me laugh- the bloopers were almost out of control last night...it's been a while since I've been in a theatre when a stagehand has had to come out to make a set piece move- that was my favorite part. But the cast doing "Blood in the Water" when only half of them could sit, and the other half had to stand (except for Laura Bell, sitting on the *floor*) because their seats didn't come out was a close second.

Hope you enjoyed finally being able to see Noah!Emmett.

Fyi, according to her post on her myspace fanpage, Gaelen Gilliland will be going on as Paulette on Dec 15th and 16th.


(IF this is during Orfeh's vacation then that would *probably* mean that Amber Efe is going on as Paulette on Dec 12th/13th/14th, but this is all just pure theory on my part, there's no info online yet that supports this.)

I'm pretty sure Amber will be Paulette the first half of the week and Gaelen the second from what I hear.

Ok so im thinking im going to see legally blonde on a wednesday matinee on january 4th....does that mean im going to see becky as elle? becuase from what im reading on here it seems like becky goes on a LOT compared to other understudies that i hear about. I kind of hope i get to see laura bell bundy but if becky is as great as singing as i hear i guess it wouldn't matter that much.

also, why would becky be told she wouldn't be allowed to riff as much after that one show?

fyi, Orfeh and Andy Karl's vacation dates next week are officially posted:

Orfeh & Andy will be on vacation and out of Legally Blonde starting Wed. December 12th and back Wed the 19th as of the matinee.
