Phillipa Soo, Andrew Burnap & Jordan Donica to Star in LCT’s CAMELOT, Spring 2023 — Page 2

or....will it lead to her not getting nominated at all?  Have we ever had the same person nominated for two different roles in the same category in a single Tony year?

I’m fairly certain Cinderella would be considered a featured role where Guenevere would be considered a leading role. If this turns out to be the case, multiple nominations for a performer in one season have happened several times.

Love."

Couldn’t disagree more. “On the street where you live” is such a gorgeous tune and he didn’t have a soaring interesting voice at all. It felt very pedestrian. Happy to give him another shot but he made zero impression. I’d rather have someone like Joshua Henry 

Ooo we're making Camelot sexy eh.

I know it was always a long shot and not actually announced (possibly not even planned), but Soo being in this means Guys & Dolls revival from Kennedy Center is likely not coming in, or getting recast slightly if it does. 

Burnap gave one of the greatest stage performances I've ever seen in The Inheritance. So excited to see him in such a completely different context.

Damn! The Spring is gonna be full of high-class shows! From "New York, New York", to a rumored BWAY transfer of "Parade", to Groban in Sweeney, and now this! I am so excited for this!

Yeah, I preferred Christian Dante White. But I'm open to being pleasantly surprised. Burnap feels like a bigger name fell through but I'm hoping they'll make the most of having a young cast. If only they could change that art.

It's my opinion, many share it, and that video clearly shows what I'm talking about. I also attended the show, several times. If you actually saw the show, feel free to have a different opinion. He's perfect for this part."

Saw the show. He made no impact. Listen to the recording. He made no impact. There was no soaring vocals. His top notes were weak. Guess you heard what you wanted to hear. 
 

I don’t really trust a lot of Sher’s casting in general. Didn’t think Ambrose was great and saw the show on tour and felt the whole cast was lacking there as well. 

Any info re on sale dates yet?  

My credit card is burning a hole in my pocket

I feel kinda bad for Ashley Park. Wasn't she Guinevere in the workshop? This feels like she was passed over for someone with "name recognition," which is especially silly since only theatre people know or care who Phillipa Soo is.

Interesting that Himesh Patel isn't Arthur, since that was the rumor. As often happens, I imagine he was offered the role but a film or TV show offered him way more money.
