I missed this news but that's really exciting. She's a star and Im glad she is getting more exposure. 

''Moulin Rouge!'' welcomed John Cardoza and Solea Pfeiffer to the Broadway company. Here's their 1st curtain call.

My question is if we're ever going to get appropriate casting for Toulouse-Lautrec. This ablest revisionism in casting is frankly disgusting and why I won't see the show. He's a real person and his disability was a crucial part of his identity. Casting able-bodied people in the role is inappropriate.

Unfortunately it looks like they’ve cut Christian and Satines bow specific costumes in the broadway production. The tour made a similar cut about a year ago. Just as Hailee received her bow dress a month ago.

When I saw the show last year I said to myself that was the absolute last time I'd ever see it again because I couldn't stand that audience. But damnit, Solea got me back today and her performance aside, I will say again - that is the last time I will ever step foot into that theater while that show is running. 

Anyways, Solea was fascinating. I'm on record as being a HUGE fan of hers and will see any and everything she does and I hope this makes sense when I say it but she's just too big of a talent for that role. Her entire performance felt constrained like she just NEEDED to go above and beyond the limitations that character. This is NOT a criticism of her in any way it was just a fascinating thing to watch and her Satine is really the first one where I looked at her and thought "Oh yes, I understand how Christian could fall in love with her on sight, that makes perfect sense".

But that G*ddamn audience.

I have not seen MR in NYC since COVID.  Curious: what is it about the MR audience that is any worse than others.  I have been in some annoying audiences…how does MR stand out?

Anyone know what’s going on with Austin Durant? Hes been out quite a bit and Patrick Clanton has been going on for most performances and now Robert Petkoff is coming in from the tour and sending Kent Overshown out for the Toronto leg…which is odd since Overshown is already based in NYC

Julie McBride, who has been conducting the show since it reopened post-COVID, will depart in two weeks.

This feels like a threat. Last time, he could barely hit or hold a note and looked like he was about to keel over by the end. I almost felt sorry for him.

Another thing,

WEIRD AL YANKOVIC WAS RIGHT THERE⁉️

THERE’S YOUR STUNTCAST OF THE CENTURY❓❓

Looking forward to revisiting!
