Original Broadway cast members Daisy Eagan and Barbara Rosenblat will return to perform the roles of Martha and Mrs. Medlock, respectively. Joining them is Sierra Boggess (Lily), Ramin Karimloo (Archibald Craven), Cheyenne Jackson (Dr. Neville Craven), Ben Platt (Dickon) and Jere Shea (Ben). As previously announced, Tony Award nominee Sydney Lucaswill take on the role of Mary Lennox.
I realize there is a thread for MCP's SG already but it was so clogged up with discussion about AEA's tussle with MCP that I felt this deserved a new thread now that this apparently has been settled.
The thing is, besides being an utter toad of a human being, Riedel usually has the least knowledge of the topic in the room. He doesn't usually understand the content or approach of a show, and is always completely and unfailingly socially ignorant, which makes it really infuriating when Susan can't get a word in edgewise. A definitive mansplainer; it's always painful when he has female guests. I watch the show sporadically when I really want to see a guest, because it's the only theatre talkshow we have, but it would be so much better without this hateful clown in a dadcoat.
