Sharon Catherine Brown as Pythio in Head Over Heels!

I just wanted to take a moment to let everyone know that Sharon Catherine Brown went on for Peppermint at yesterday’s matinee of Head Over Heels! All I can say is..I pray a producer from an upcoming show was on the audience! This woman is beyond talented, and beyond professional! She needs to be doing a show 8x a week! This woman’s vocals were truly out of control brilliant! She made the entire character her own and you can tell it was all coming from her heart! The entire cast were so supportive of, especially at the finale! But that voice! I have seen her in Jekyll & Hyde and Rent, but that was some time ago, her talent has only grown.
I do enjoy Head Over Heels more than others, and I wondered how a female would tackle this role, well she played it so androgynous and than brought “Vision of Nowness” up an entire octive with riffs that you so well thought out!

I just wanted to share this because I have a feeling Peppermint will not miss another show, and Ms. Brown deserves recognition, by the audiences reaction...they loved her as well!

FYI, your wording is offensive, perhaps better worded would have been: “how a non-trans woman (or cis-woman) would tackle this role,” since Peppermint is a woman.

Dude, lighten up.

How was she beyond professional? She understudied a role and went on when they needed her to?! That sounds pretty baseline professional."

So I just don’t get why you to have question this? It seems like you were looking for something to pick apart. I am an a working actor myself and I know what professionalism in the theatre is! Stepping into someone shoes that people are expecting to see is difficult, but stepping into a character that has no specific gender is even more difficult. Then making these choices that worked with the storyline, and actually making it very clear, to me was an accomplishment.

I only posted with good intentions. Seems like some people are on here just rip apart posts and make others feel small.

It just didn't make sense to me, and made me back and re-read it to see what I missed, since how well she was able to do something in this situation is impressive and worthy of praise. But that she got on stage and did it just seemed like... what am I missing?! An understudy goes on when they need them to... and she... went on when they needed her to?? OK.

FFS, life is difficult. Stop being so offended.

It's as if having a thick skin and some true confidence is gone with this generation.

This will be my last response to you on this topic because you clearly are just scrolling through posts every night and trying to make posters feel bad about what they feel is important. It is a public forum and there have been topics posted more deserving of your negativity than mine. You clearly are not a performer and have no clue what it feels like to be an understudy or a swing. I can say I have been and starting next week will be doing this again. I will praise someone's performance if I choose, because they darn well deserve it. There was no need for your responses. It's your choice to be negative, if you don't like a post why not just skip over it? Why do you have to call people out because you feel it isn't worthy of this board?

I have been a part of this board for a long time and the reason I don't post much is because of the way you responded.

I'm not sure how it is negative to not understand the intention behind a word choice, but glad you enjoyed her performance, heh.
