They're a great cast! Good to see them all together.

I've asked this before, but it wasn't answered. Are they actually going to use two Louises during each performance? Or are they going to split up the week (maybe matinees and evenings)? Kelsey Fowler didn't need an alternate in GREY GARDENS, does Roundabout have different rules?

Anyway I can't wait for this!

Do you know that Alison is her alternate and not her understudy? And if she is, maybe it just has to do with Fowler's choice re: school/matinees?

Sam Buntrock is ADORABLE. He looks so young!

Kelsey Fowler is as cute as a button!

She is quite a talented young girl! She lives in the town next me. She goes to a private christian academy which shared buses with the catholic school I attended. And I knew people who rode the bus with her, and they said during GREY GARDENS she only went to school on Mondays.

So maybe she did want more school days this time around?

The Seurat exhibition closed yesterday. But I did get a chance to see it last month while there. Quite interesting.

The girls will most liklye be roataing days, they will prob each do 4 but then still have to be there for the start of the show for the 4 they are not one. A lot of time they don't need to alternate the kids if there not on stage a lot, like for Tazan and Chip they didn't HAVE to, they do so that one kid doens't sit back stage all the time its hard for a kid. Abby who was the girls u/s for both girls in Grey Gardens was miserable a lot of the time having to hang out and not go on much until towards the end. She used to come hang with us in the merch areas.

So marry Poppins has to have more then one cast of children becasue they are one stage pretty much the whole show but Tarzan Didn't because they where on stage for like 20 min if that a night. If one of the kids went on vacation or something the other kid could do the whole week and it would still be ok, thats why there are 3 cast for marry Poppins becasue one kid can't do the whole week by law.

I hope I get to catch Kelsey Fowler in the performance I see. She's quite a talented kid.
The cast looks great. Let me add some love to Jenna Russell's blonde hairstyle, love it.

Um..he's the second person kneeling in the front row of the principle cast. Perhaps he's a swing or a standby. Um, maybe a tour guide at the Museum.

I don't know who Andre Varela is. But I think the guy you're referring to might be Christopher Gattelli who did the musical staging...

[ljay889]

Posted: 1/8/08 at 9:45pm

Did Gattelli do the musical staging in London? It seems he has a lot of Broadway credits.

Anyone know who the George and Dot understudy/standbys are?
I'm guessing Santino (who is Amazing) and Brynn.
?

Santino Fontana is wonderful. I am so excited to see him back onstage.

I would hope Brynn O'Malley is covering Dot, but Stacie Morgain-Lewis could potentially do it too.

[friedrichVT]

Posted: 1/8/08 at 10:18pm

Chris Gatelli is about 60 lbs lighter then Andrew Varela, Thats definitely Andrew, He must be covering George. Brynn is one of the Dot covers.

I was going to say, those two pictures are NOT of the same person, lol.

It is Andrew Varela.

On his website it says:
"Andrew will be standing by for several roles in the Roundabout Theater Company's upcoming production of Sunday in the Park with George."

I love featurettes. They're completely pointless but oh so wonderful.
