She was in Beauty and the Beast not too long ago

Akiva - I did a double take when I saw the picture of her -- she's incredibly hot! Who is she???

I want to see this when I go to Vegas in two weeks, but I don't think 130 dollar tickets are going to work for me unless I hit some jackpot!

Is John doing the show in Vegas? This surprises me. I just saw him on 8th Ave last Thursday night.

John Tartaglia and Rick Lyon from the OBC will be in Vegas as well as Broadway Q understudy Angela Ai

Tickets aren't $130, orchestra seats are $86.90, that's cheaper than Broadway. It seems so odd to see totally different faces in familiar costume. I can't wait to go to Vegas!

Brynn's pretty, but am I the only one who finds her hair annoying for some reason?

Yeah.

No, I think she looks kind of trampy...perfect for Lucy, but she just doesn't look sweet and innocent enough for Kate Monster. OK, I realize 100% that's not fair of me, but looking through the pictures, I couldn't help but think she just didn't work for me...she's very pretty but...I just don't see it. *shrug*


ETA: Especially that 4th pic.

But that is the magic of puppetry, the ability to play any character no matter what you look like
For example, Stephanie D'Abruzzo is beautiful but Lucy was a human character, would she really be cast in that type?
Give Brynn a chance, I'm sure she's a great actress and can pull off both roles through puppetry. Otherwise, why would they cast her, right?

Very exciting indeed!!

Whos the one Ricks holding? Princeton or something? That other guy is holding Treckie. ???

I think I'm WAY partial to the Broadway cast..John and Barrett's casts.. but this group (with Rick and John of course) look great, and I bet they're really excited to be in the show in Vegas. Congrats to all of them and I hope if they're really good they get the full credit they deserve :)

I knew that name Brynn O'Malley was familiar to me... i saw her as Belle in Beauty & the Beast on Broadway this past June!!! I was kinda upset that I didn't get Brooke Tansley because I heard good things about her but Brynn did not disappoint... she was awesome... now more reason for me to go see Ave. Q... it's just a four hour drive away!

Great pictures, thanks!!! (Oh, but isn't that Cole Porter and Natalie Gray as Brian and Christmas Eve? Nicholas Kohn and Angela Ai were pictured in the Q-2nd-Anniversary-Party stories on Playbill and Broadway.com.)

Rick Lyon has a puppet version of Steve Wynn he created for this event. Now every mega-mogul is going to want a Lyon Puppet of himself! (Kevin Noonchester is the Nicky/Trekkie understudy, and was Trekkie here because Rick was playing "Steve.")

I think the new cast looks good. I'm eager to hear some reviews of all the Vegas cast members.

Honestly, in my eyes Brynn does look like a "human version" of Lucy, and Stephanie of Kate. I was thinking about that today...

[ShuQ]

Posted: 8/17/05 at 9:14pm

Okay...is it just me or does that NOT look like Angela Ai?

[broadwaystar2b]

Posted: 8/17/05 at 9:17pm

I think that's Natalie Gray and not Angela
