The Becky Show Cast Question

I don't know if anyone else on here was at The Becky Show reading at Ars Nova tonight, or if any of you are going tomorrow, but I just had a question about the cast.

What is the name of the woman who played Sharon? I really liked her, but she isn't listed on the program at all or in the BWW article about the reading.

Thanks if you can help!

I believe she is Willy Falk.

What a mess of a show.

Willy Falk played the waiter(s).

Yeah, it was quite a mess, but it is still early in its life. I enjoyed a couple of songs and with some development the relationships could be interesting. I enjoyed getting a glimpse of a work still obviously in progress, though.

But this uncredited woman is going to bother me until I figure it out. urgh!

I actually think Willy was a woman and Garrett Long was the waiter.

Willy Falk played the waiter... and Garret Long played Becky's sister Sharon. Falk was nominated for a Tony Award for originating the role of Chris in Miss Saigon. I went to willyfalk.com and found that he is focussing on opera now, less Broadway.

Ah...thank you!

For some reason I was thinking Garrett was the woman that was reading the stage directions (now that makes me curious about who she was, though I don't care as much), so while I was pulling up pictures of people in the photo gallery section here on BWW, I must have skipped her name...she isn't there though. But garrettlong.com has pictures to prove that she is, in fact, the woman who played Sharon.

Thanks for the help, bwayfan7! I feel a lot better now! :)
