Smallest stage time for an actor in a show? — Page 3

i saw a version of little shop that orin's role was broken up into 12 actors. Meaning that most of them were on stage for 30 seconds or less.

What does the actor that plays Dr. Dillamond do in the opening number?

I think the actor playing Dr. Dillamond plays Elphaba's father in the opening number. That being said, I don't know if the Witch's mother does anything else in the show, does she?

MerMaggieGalinda, the actress that plays the Witch's Mother is also in the Ensemble. Also, the actress that plays the Midwife is also in the Ensemble (same with the actor that plays Chistery). The actor that plays the Witch's Father also plays the Ozian Official (in addition to being in the Ensemble). Sean McCourt once played the father and Dr. Dillamond, with another ensemble member as the Ozian Official.

So, normally, what does the actor that plays Dr. Dillamond do in the opening number?

I never saw it on Broadway but I was in The Pajama Game a few months ago and Pop was on stage, I think, 2 scenes for like 5 minutes each.

I'm pretty sure when I saw it I saw Sean McCourt as the Witch's father and Dr. Dillamond, so I thought that was the same for every actor who played him.

SweetQ,

In the original, Pop only appeared in those two scenes.

In the revival, Pop was combined with a new character named Ganzenlicker (who I believe was not in the original show. Anyone have info on this guy? DId they change the name of the salesman?) In that one, the Pop actor had much more to do. (Though admittedly, not much.)

In the Original Tryouts for Spamalot, The Lady of the Lake(Sara Ramirez) Played two other characters each having songs, the which from the movie where we meet Beldevere and The Cow which is Uber Sexified,from the French taunters I really wanna hear the songs

Into the Woods:
Sleeping Beauty and Snow White
Lucinda and Florinda
Cinderella's Father
Steward
Rapunzel (especially when not using "Our Little World)

I did Arsenic and Old Lace in high school, and my character was on for the last 2 pages of the play. That's it, the very last 2 pages of the play. My make-up was spectacular, though. I have also played one of the "visitors to Fustian House" in Lettice and Lovage. 6 of us are on for the first scene, don't speak, and then we're off until curtain call. On Broadway, they all faced upstage the whole time, so you never saw any of their faces, at least in our production we got "characters" to play. I was an Arab, a cowboy, and a college student. The Arab was interesting to play, because I played him as someone interested in buying the palace. This was at the time Arabs were buying a lot of real estate in England, but opening night of the show was the same night as the first World Trade Center bombing. So my part went from being a quick comic bit, to very uncomfortable.

The Avaiatrix in "The Drowsy Chaperone" - I saw it on tour and was suprised that someone would get paid to play such a tiny role. Must be nice.

I would like to know, too, if anyone knows info on Ganzenlicker.
