Wedding Singer 8/2 Matinee: Tina & Cara Perform — Page 2

Laura is always upset about missing shows
and she is always missing shows
I love Benati's voice and acting and looks.
But she needs to look into other venues than an
8 show a week one.
I believe she may be ill
but C'mon
Ok
Blast me now and bury me later.
but look at the record.
Hillary Duffs record will prob'ly be just as bad.

are we talking "nodes"
I Hope not
Her voice is truley Beautiful
and again
What is a "Vocal Injury?"

The dress in the "Not that kind of thing" scene is a different style and color than the one in the "If I told you" scene. Insignificant, yes, but very odd.

I bet Christina would be awesome.

"if it's beyond her control..."

The problem is, we don't really know, and she's earned a reputation for missing shows. Check the early TWS threads; it was predicted!

Maybe it's all coincidental or bad luck, or something else, but most other leads just don't miss as many shows.

And whether it's medical or psychological or both, it appears habitual and that's bad for her, producers and audiences. Who wants to cast the actor who always gets sick and misses a lot of performances? Or is a diva?

Yeah....she's one of the more "down-to-earth" people on Broadway (and TV/film).

seriously, judging by the fact that I've NEVER heard one single bad thing about Laura from stagedoor stories (I've only ever heard that she is SOOO incredibly sweet and wonderful), and by the fact that she DOES come out to stagedoor a LOT when she is there, I highly HIGHLY doubt that she is missing shows because she's a diva and doesn't want to be there. If she was a diva, she wouldnt stay long amounts of time after shows just to appease fans, and she wouldn't be as nice as she is. She's been sick a lot.. she cant help that, and its pretty unfair that so many people are critisizing her for it. Some people just naturally dont have great immune systems, and even when they do take care of themselves they get sick pretty easily. I know I get sick a lot too. AND she's had the neck problems. No I really dont know much about it, but I can def imagine that, her having BROKEN her neck, she might still be having some reprocutions of it and that might contribute to her being out so often. And that is obviously COMPLETELY out of her control. So yeah, I just felt the need to defend laura cause I def do NOT think she seems like the type of person who would just not show up for a show because she didn't feel like it

DrunkyMcWasted, it's not a "vocal injury"... it's not even an injury. She's having some health problems that are causing vocal difficulty. So, on doctor's order, she is working her way back into the 8-show schedule very slowly while treatment continues.

Yes, Mariah. But THEY don't know who Mariah is... haha

---

*worries about laura* that doesn't sound good... I hope she feels much better really really soon!! being sick sucks.. big time.. especially when its serious, as this seems to be. But anyway yeah... she just better get better soon :)

and for the record, I reallly really enjoyed tina! I havn't seen laura yet,but II'm hoping to soon, but from what I've *seen* I love her even MORE than tina!! hehe, but tina is really adorable and soooo sweet, so its all good

---

All I have to say is that if Laura wanted everyone to know what was going on, everyone would know. That is obviously not the case, so leave her alone! Take what information IS given, and back off. Jeez.

I do hope she feels better. Being sick is no fun.

I saw Tina last week, and I actually thought she and Stephen were severely lacking in the chemistry department. Laura and Steven make such a sweet couple!

---

I agree, overthemoon. I love Tina, but I think she has MORE chemistry with Richard H. Blake than with Stephen...

And dancing, thank you for saying that and helping to keep her privacy. I appreciate that.
