Posted: 3/16/14 at 4:24pm

According to her website, Emily Skinner is booked through the rest of the year playing some really amazing roles back to back to back. How lucky the audiences are in these places to see her do this stuff! I'd particularly kill to see her do MAME.

INVENTING MARY MARTIN
The York Theatre, April 15th through June 1st

Mrs. Wilkinson in BILLY ELLIOT
The St Louis MUNY, June 16th through the 22nd

Ursula in THE LITTLE MERMAID
The Lyric Theatre of Oklahoma, July 8th through the 12th

Charlotte in A LITTLE NIGHT MUSIC
The Lyric Theatre of Oklahoma, August 5th through the 9th

Leona in DO I HEAR A WALTZ?

Mame in MAME
Virginia Repertory Theater, November 21st through January 11th


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.

And unless something's changed, she's doing that Mary Martin revue at the York next month. All great roles here, and great fits. I would love to see her Charlotte and her Mame.


"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe." -John Guare, Landscape of the Body

Yeah, I don't feel she's quite old enough for Mame and she seems more like a Vera IMO.

Edit to add:

I feakin' LOVE me some Emily Skinner and I would kill to see her in almost all of these!!!
