Posted: 6/19/14 at 12:46amShe would make a good Esmeralda. I would definitely go see her if she's in that show.

Posted: 6/19/14 at 11:08ami read in an article on I think Playbill where John Rubinstein said that he was going on tour as Charlemagne after his brief stint with the Broadway production.

Posted: 6/19/14 at 12:27pmI would LOVE it if after those rumors following Patina's exit that Nicole Scherzinger was playing the LP on tour. She'd be awesome on the tour and I'd love to see her. I'd love to see either Nicole, Gabrielle, or Stephanie Pope.

Showtuna. That's is exactly what she said.
Can't see Ciara or KDM touring it. But I would love to see Eric Altemus do the tour!

Posted: 7/30/14 at 8:07pmSabrina Harper who playing Fastrada on the tour will be understudying the Leading Player and Berthe, i find that odd since she is a principle role.
#33Pippin Tour cast
Posted: 7/30/14 at 8:15pmThat does seem a bit odd. Her Berthe is strange but in a good way.

Posted: 7/30/14 at 8:29pmno not that whats odd is that she is a lead in the show and yet she is also understudying two other leads one of which is bigger than her real role.

Perhaps she's understudying Berthe because she has covered the role since day 1, as well as performed it many times? It could simply be a cost-saving strategy or one where production thinks this makes the most sense...one of those, "You know this role, one less person to teach, train, and rehearse."
A principal understudying a larger principal role isn't that unheard of. The Lewis track covers Pippin in this production. In Wicked, many of the Nessarose' have been Elphaba covers. It's seems odd that she's covering a smaller role, but that may be the nature of this show.

Posted: 7/30/14 at 9:27pmI saw a production of Spring Awakening where the actor playing Moritz understudied Melchior---that's even weirder. But I could understand the convenience--Fastrada needs to be a seriously strong dancer, while Berthe and LP need to be more triple threats,and work the trapeze, so I guess it makes sense.

Isn't Billy Tighe doing Book of Mormon in London? Unless it is a really short engagement he won't be on the Pippin tour anytime soon....although I read somewhere his wife is playing Katherine on the tour. That would be convenient. Maybe their dog could get a spot too!

Posted: 7/30/14 at 10:04pm@ oncemorewithfeeling2 - I don't think Lewis is considered a Lead, but instead supporting. At least Erik has always been on the second page of cast pictures that is after the bios, instead of with the rest of the main cast. It always seemed strange cause the role is kinda big, but it seems to be considered supporting instead of lead.

Posted: 7/30/14 at 10:16pmhow'd you find this out(Harper u/s Berthe & LP)?? I'm curious who's u/s what roles for the tour. The show's website has very little info regarding the tour.

Darreyl, I agree with what you said. He's one of the few named characters, but Lewis isn't as important as Charles, for example. But it seems more then just "featured ensemble." The show can't just eliminate Lewis if the actor calls out, as some shows do when ensemble members are out.
Anyone in the know--is the role of Lewis considered a chorus part and on a chorus contract, or is it principal?

Was this posted somewhere else? Looks like Andrea Martin wants to remind tv/film casting directors she's still around. Seems like a very smart move on her part.

Posted: 8/28/14 at 6:10pmSasha and Kyle look great. He has the youthfulness a Pippin needs and Sasha's just plain gorgeous.

Posted: 8/28/14 at 6:52pmI saw Kyle in his first performance of The Book of Mormon as Elder Price in LA in the beginning of the year & he was AMAZING!!! He has a star quality & great voice.
