For ITH fans, if you weren't there or haven't heard, Nina LaFarga was completely amazing and gorgeous last night as the star of the Mardi Gras number in Broadway Bares 19. She's an amazing dancer, and one of the Nina covers (right) in ITH. Wow, she is incredible - it was so great to see her in the center spotlight last night.

THIS.

See:




And, I don't think the temp Daniela info's been announced yet.

This stinks. I was looking forward to seeing her again. I hope her temp is just as good as she is because Andrea Burns steals the show.

Wow - Justina Machado as temp Daniela! I love Andrea Burns, but I'd be excited to see Justina Machado in the role too.

I saw the show for the second time on Thursday. It was just as good this time as it was the first time. Tony Chiroldes was good in the role of Kevin. I was a tiny bit disappointed with Marcy Harriell as Vanessa, but I guess only because I did see Karen Olivo the first time, and I liked her better.

" I was a tiny bit disappointed with Marcy Harriell as Vanessa, but I guess only because I did see Karen Olivo the first time, and I liked her better."

I second the notion, only I wasn't a bit disappointed..I was extremely disappointed.

I'm extremely disappointed I'm not seeing Jon Rua go on as Usnavi tonight.

THIS. I ad no idea she sang but I could see her being fantastic either way.


Dow e know if Jon Rua is going on as Usnavi again tonight?

^ It isn't on Broadway understudies.

[steven22]

Posted: 6/24/09 at 4:02pm

Jon Rua isnt listed as an Usnavi understudy on Playbill.com or on the ITH website....

[Anakela]

Posted: 6/24/09 at 4:12pm

Sorry, don't know what to tell you, he is an Usnavi u/s, and he did go on as Usnavi last night...

Is it just me or does broadwayundurstudies.com never have the ITH stuff?

[Anakela]

Posted: 6/24/09 at 4:34pm

I think that's moreso the result of the ITH understudies never telling them stuff, though, right? I know I do see Tony and Doreen up there for their planned days on, so it's not like there's an ITH blackout on bu.com or anything.

This is amazing (and by *this* I mean the casting news, not the racist comments that follow the article)...
