Kad said: "June is a pretty thankless role, imo. I would easily rank it behind Herbie, Louise, and even any of the stripper trio- the strippers get less stagetime but they get easily one of the best songs in the show and there's a lot more room for reinterpretation of those characters."

Leigh Ann Larkin made an absolute meal of that role in the LuPone revival, so the material certainly supports character development for June. 

I cannot imagine any replacement signed a 12 month contract here. If casting in NY is anything like it has been in London, I would say the leads will exit after 3-6 months.

Looks like another trip across the Atlantic will be in my future this winter.

Saw the next to last performance this afternoon. Loved the play, and Falco was stunning. What an artist.

Just got tickets to see Falco in her final week. Very much looking forward to this!

binau said: "I might be repeating myself with this question but has anyone seen bothAto Blankson-Wood and Omari Douglas in the role? The reason I ask is because I swear the way people describe Ato it's also how I felt about Omari - so I'm wondering if the common link is actually the direction of the character and not the actor."

I did. I felt Omari at least came alive in his scenes with Buckley, and Ato reminded me that Cliff is a real drip. 

Oh perhaps!

Instagram account posted what looks to be a photo of Louise.

After seeing a preview performance of The Producers, David Geffen allegedly told the creative team that they had a “huge hit on (their) hands, but one major problem. You’ve got to fire Broderick.” 

 

Broadway Flash said: "It’s all for the cameras. I don’t think he’s actually like that in person."

Oh, it is most certainly his natural state. You can cheer the work, but yeah, that’s Jeremy.

Mr. Wormwood said: "Yeah, I really feel like this will end up being Brian D'Arcy James or Danny Burstein."

Or Will Swenson.

Yes, of course she attended CCM. The point to me seemed that perhaps it was not her first choice, and/or her high school transcript worked against her in those processes despite the talent. Nonetheless, I appreciated the candor.

I caught the end of the 9:30 stream, and I loved how she mentioned never being a very good student, who did not get into Carnegie Mellon, or NYU, but still got to where she was meant to be. That is a topic that few artists talk about, and I suppose I understand why, but I love hearing that even being a reliable singer/actor for 20+ years does not mean they had their choice of conservatories. 

New York audiences are really not into this production. I think the missing ingredient is Jessie Buckley, because this show (and Eddie) was the toast of London in the winter of 21/22.

Purchased tickets for mid-December! I have always adored McDonald, but what sold me on this production is Wolfe's direction, and the fact that Arthur Laurents won't be there to give George the same "help" that Sam Mendes got in 2003. 

Once you stop coming to any Cabaret-related threads around here for reviews, you may actually begin to find the humor is how prologues and stickers got some of you hot under the collar. 

Caught this yesterday afternoon. The script does indeed a feel a bit undercooked, but it was wonderful to see Lange on stage again. 

Saw this production this evening, and it is absolutely wonderful. Saw it London with the opening night cast, which I found stunning, and the NY iteration is worth seeing.
