Who is replacing Olivo? — Page 6

And now we fight.

I would like to point out that something (i dont know what) is off at that US open. it's not having entertainment aspect or charisma at all.



A part of it i think have something to do with the sound equibments. The mics and sound system seem....i dont know weird and not produce a good+project sound. Anyone who sing on that, the performance wd be drop by a point or two. Not to mentions, both leads actors almost... never look at each other, or try to show us that they were in love. I feel like they were stranger and just met for the first time.


Usually, i have a thing for Arron. Alwasy name hime to be the 1st choice if I d lucky enough to get one guy on broadway. But that night he does not seem attractive at all. Something seem wrong.

Well Olivio and Tveit were hardly best friends so it’s no wonder there was zero chemistry.

I do agree though that he’s kinda bland onstage. He has a good voice and is handsome, but something just doesn’t click.

I know (/think?) Steven Pasquale is a bit older but he is just total charisma and sex appeal on stage.

Is it known for sure that Olivo and Tveit didn't get along, or is that conjecture? They certainly presented themselves as chummy in the press and on social media during the initial run of MOULIN ROUGE, not that that means anything beyond optics. Karen isn't known for being particularly easy to work with, and that's a reputation that long predates the current moment.

AGREED. And 0 charisma. It’s oddhow some actors with talent and charisma remain in theensembleforever,and actors like Tveit somehow break out. He must have a good agent."

I don't dislike him, but like many a pretty boy, they tend to get further while being mediocre than anyone who doesn't fit a neat little cookie cutter box. He's pretty, can sing, and plays only one kind of role well. The list of these kind of dudes on Broadway is quite long. I've said since day one that he's isn't right for this role when it needs the exact opposite of an archetypical leading man. It needs a "Disney Hercules" persona, the sweet, earnest male version of a female ingenue because that true earnestness is what's needed to believe that Satines' walls can come down and believe she's loved as she is. This flip of the usual romantic leads dynamic is why I love MR as much as I do (the film). It's still not seen that often in story media, but it's a trope I'm a sucker for.

I agree except I think he's actually not good at "archetypal leading man" and his real strength is "angry young man." He's better towards the end when Christian is all pissy.

SouthernCakes said: "To this day he gave the worst performance on a Broadway stage in Rouge. The show started with such a bang then he walks on with boring narration and just kills the mood. And then Satine’s death and his reaction is so laughably bland. Oof.

He’s handsome and fantastic voice but for some reason doesn’t quite stir it in me the way like a Claybourne Elder does or a Josh Henry."

So, you judge a performer by the tingle in your nether regions.?!

His name is Joshua Henry.

Poster "Southern Cakes" has been hating on Aaron Tveit (jealous of his career) forever. He hates the guy but sees every single thing he's in. It's absolutely hilarious and totally amusing.

Sutton Ross said: "People bitching about him on this thread wishes they had his career (obviously) and/or never saw him live as a leading man. In Company, he was the perfect Bobby and having the opportunity to speak to him for 5 minutes after the show (since there was no one else around), he is kind, lovely, modest and unbelievably beautiful.

And for those who gave their opinion on his role as Christian 500 times, we got it. Thanks so much.

well said!

"In Company, he was the perfect Bobby and having the opportunity to speak to him for 5 minutes after the show (since there was no one else around), he is kind, lovely, modest and unbelievably beautiful."

My daughter felt the same way about him after seeing him in "Next To Normal" and speaking with him briefly at the stage door. Her favorite stage door picture is the one I took of her with him -lol

I actually think Aaron is a remarkable actor. I think he fares best when there is complexity. I think Gabe showcased his talent because that character has so much nuance and undercurrents of malevolence, anger, rage and seduction. It was truly criminal he wasn’t nominated for a Tony. He was spectacular and firing on all cylinders. Boggles my mind he was overlooked. He sings effortlessly and gorgeously. He is beautiful.

I think he adds gravity to pieces when there is none. I loved him and Karen together. I didn’t think he and Satine were red hot lovers. I felt they had an agape love, they saw each other’s souls. They didn’t objectify each other. They appreciated each other as artists and humans. Satine was objectified by everyone but not him. I was touched by the two of them together and they made me cry. They sang beautifully together. Karen and Aaron definitely respect each other. Those pieces are not easy to sing and take a lot of trust.

I hope I get to see him again in the role.
