I was also at Daphne's last. I thought she was amazing. Not knowing if I was going to make it to her last show, I had ordered flowers a while back and had them delivered to her the day before, so I know she got some flowers . . . just not up on stage with her! She is such a nice lady . . . I would say I'm sad to see her go but even though I loved her as Fantine I'm glad not to have to hear all of the negative reviews. And its not like I'll get much of a chance to miss her with her next show opening in less than two weeks!
I don't know how long Lea will stay, but Les Mis is now an open-ended run so I'm sure she her contract is for a certain period of time. Maybe a standard six months?
"I wrote a book: "How to Be Popular". Now I've put together a top ten list of how to help you:
-Elphie, everyday... shower. I mean, who knows? Maybe some of that green is gonna come off!
-Deodorant Elphie. No body likes a stinky witch!
-I think we've covered the hair, we'll get to that.
-Clean underclothes. That's all I'm gonna say.
-Look at your posture. That's no way to be popular!
-Bed made, room straightened. We've done that.
-Colors blended. Oookay.
-But the most important thing to have, to make yourself popular, is to keep your beautiful smile."
