Tina Maddigan IS Julia in The Wedding Singer! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Posted: 6/20/06 at 11:38pm

Thanks to an anonymous source (ha!), I was given the heads up that Tina Maddigan would be covering the role of Julia Sullivan this evening. From the moment "the girl with golden hair" set foot on the stage, I was in awe. Tina has defined the role perfectly! She is beautiful, playful and endearing (plus, she's got legs!). She was in fine form and sang her heart out of those songs. Once again, Tina's effervescent personality shined through in this role. She has truly captured my heart...again!

Special shout outs to Tracee Beazer, Kevin Cahoon, Richard Blake, Felicia Finley and Amy Spanger who were all swell.

All in all, The Wedding Singer is a very fun and campy show. Unfortunately, the only song I can remember is "It's Your Wedding Day" and I can't get it outta my head. Nonetheless, I'd definitely give it a thumbs up!

Wasn't Laura out for an entire week (I believe it was a Saturday to Saturday and she came back in an evening show) very recently?
Tonya Pinkins: Then we had a "Lot's Wife" last June that was my personal favorite. I'm still trying to get them to let me sing it at some performance where we get to sing an excerpt that's gone.
Tony Kushner: You can sing it at my funeral.

What an "ahhhhhhhhhhhh" worthy review, Phantom2!

Hey, I'm a poet and I don't even know it, Tina Maddigain has the gift of pure joy when she performs. I am sure she was happy you were there to witness her in the show and watch out for Felicia, she's always looking to capture Phanty McPhantcakes!

I think I saw you there tonight, did you have on the scarlet cape and platinum blonde wig?

Yes, Laura was out for a week because she was really sick.

I saw Tina in the role and I thought the whole thing fell flat with her - I found her interpretation very stereotypical and bland. Different strokes, I suppose.
Now what would you say if today I started over? Without a thing but this taped together four leaf clover And I'll pretend like everything is already alright And I'll run toward the sun till the castle's out of sight

If someone's looking to start another roundabout over Laura's track record, may I point out that Amy Spanger has also been very sick and out a lot?

But I'm glad you got to see Tina in any case, Phantom. :)

Tina was on again today. She was good. Her voice is great.

Oh, leave her alone. WE don't need debate number 50 on Benanti's attendance record.

I found out Sunday morning that she would be on Tuesday so obviously this was a scheduled thing.
