Sounds interesting and could be Christina Bianco's big break!

happy for her!

The thing is, besides being an utter toad of a human being, Riedel usually has the least knowledge of the topic in the room. He doesn't usually understand the content or approach of a show, and is always completely and unfailingly socially ignorant, which makes it really infuriating when Susan can't get a word in edgewise. A definitive mansplainer; it's always painful when he has female guests. I watch the show sporadically when I really want to see a guest, because it's the only theatre talkshow we have, but it would be so much better without this hateful clown in a dadcoat.

I just missed her in Application Pending. I am so behind this. Broadway needs a Christina Bianco.

Isn't she a little... mature for this role?

^ She can easily pass for 12. Have you seen her onstage? She can play any age, but can really look like a kid.

I agree. She could easily pass for someone in her very early 20's on stage which I believe is the character's age.

What a wonderful role for her? Since she's a very special, one of a kind performer....her (future) u/s will need to be extraordinary.

"Noel [Coward] and I were in Paris once. Adjoining rooms, of course. One night, I felt mischievous, so I knocked on Noel's door, and he asked, 'Who is it?' I lowered my voice and said 'Hotel detective. Have you got a gentleman in your room?' He answered, 'Just a minute, I'll ask him.'" (Beatrice Lillie)

Seems to odd to make it a commercial venture, but I hope it does well!

Any idea who will be playing her mother? That's a real powerhouse of a role in the right hands.

This story touched my heart, which isn't easy, can't wait.  It's a play not a musical, right?  Hate sounding stupid.

Yes, it's considered a play but there's quite a bit of music and singing.

I adore Christina Bianco.  So thrilled for her!   If you haven't seen her impressions, they're quite astounding.

I saw the original on Broadway and it's not that great of a show.  It was basically written around Jane Horrocks' ability to do impressions.  There's no real compelling story there.

I don't know what the brouhaha was that Horrocks couldn't repeat her performance on Broadway. Probably an Equity issue of "she's not a star" magnitude.  It's one of those shows that I think should have played off-Broadway.

If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

Wasn't the original broadway production a transfer of a Steppenwolf production and not the original London?

"Wasn't the original broadway production a transfer of a Steppenwolf production and not the original London?"

I just looked that up and yes, you are correct.  It was a Steppenwolf transfer.  That explains why they didn't bring in Horrocks.  I remember thinking it wasn't a very good production and was wondering what all the excitement over in London was about.

I would have liked to have seen Alison Steadman play the mother about ten years ago.

Seeing how it closed after only one week back in '94, it's difficult to imagine why anyone would think they could revive it with any financial success featuring a non-star like Bianco (who is perfectly amusing, in a light way, doing facile impressions, but who will, it must be admitted, never be a "star". The most recent West End revival closed after four months.

The play itself is a sweet, wispy piece of fluff, built to feature a deft impressionist; the story (soap opera-y stuff) and acting (ditto) take a back seat to the impressions.
