Profile for Penna2

Both previews were cancelled according to one of his fan blogs.
This is a comment from someone who was at the show tonight...not me, from a fan blog.
 

Ok, First off, Ramin is absolutely amazing! He gets to demonstrate his considerable acting chops and his singing is, well, it's Ramin- powerful and gorgeous. He's looking gorgeous, too . But I didn't love the show. It takes place in America and so I think it would work much better with an American audience, given the subject matter. The title song is gorgeous and Ramin gets to belt the first occurrence of it. There are some good songs. Since tonight was the very first night of previews, I suspect there may be some changes and I would definitely come back to see the finished product if I was still in London.

Definitely his bluegrass voice. So versatile. No one plays dark characters everyone loves like Ramin.

Yes, that and how she reacts when he presses the flower petals in her hand and, my personal favorite, the look on her face when she finishes singing If I Loved You. I wish they had captured her watching him sing. Wonderful actress. I can't tell you how many times I've watched that video. Every time there is a nuance, I didn't notice before.

Or Will Swenson."

Will was my thought, too.

Thanks. I just saw this clip on Playbill - that clip has "Ladies Maid" and the chorus singing "Titanic." Went over to hear this entire duet on FB from 10 years ago to really have a good cry. I hope I can hear Ramin sing the entire song at some point.

Too soon.

RIP - she was so pretty and funny. I loved her when I was a kid. 

Novel casting idea for Herbie - Will Swenson. 

Also, was doing some research on Rose, Gypsy and June (full sisters, btw, not half-sisters as what seems to be the direction in this show). Found this on Wiki.

Lee rented a 10-room apartment on West End Avenue in Manhattan for Rose, who opened a boardinghouse for women there. On one occasion in the 1930s, Rose shot and killed a woman who was either a guest at the boardinghouse or a guest on the farm in Highland Mills in Orange County, New York, that Rose owned. A historical website cites varying reports of which place was the scene of the crime.[23] According to Gypsy's son Erik Lee Preminger, who is the author of several books, the murder victim was Mother Rose's female lover, who had allegedly made a pass at Gypsy. The violent incident was investigated and reportedly explained away as a suicide. Mother Rose was not prosecuted.[24] Mother Rose's biographer strongly rejects the possibility that this woman, Genevieve Augustine, was Rose's lover, and doubts Rose's complicity in her death in light of Augustine's previous suicide attempts.[25] Rose Thompson Hovick died in 1954 of colon cancer.

Now that would be a show!

BTW Erik Lee is still alive. Wonder what he thinks about this production.

She'll probably argue about Juliet dying at the end because what young girl would die over a man.

Thanks for this. The music from this show is simply amazing.
