Profile for The Distinctive Baritone

I didn’t know Nicholas Christopher is only 34. Huh. Anyway, I love SRS, but 57 is definitely too old for the part. Ellen Greene did it in a concert version, and having originated in the role and played it in the movie, it was kind of a special event. Rob McClure was also a great Seymour I’m sure, but with the whole “Mushnik and Son” subplot, a 42 year old seems a bit of a stretch.

Speaking of Rob McClure, I recently saw him in the Mrs. Doubtfire tour, and whatev

Carol Halstead understudies both Sharon and Robyn."


In cases like this, a standby is hired only because AEA requires it. They will typically cancel a performance if the star is unable to go on. Years ago I worked with the guy who was the standby for Brian Dennehy in Death of a Salesman at The Goodman. When the show transferred to Broa

Although I haven’t seen the show since the Peters revival, I don’t think the guns would be a problem. Target shooting is indeed a sport - and a fun one, I must say. The show glorifies the sport, not murder.

Considering that I thought it was an unbearably cheesy show when I saw it as a teenager twenty years ago, I imagine it would play even worse now - especially, as another poster pointed out, with its depiction of Native Americans. It has some nice songs, but there&rs

What about a professional company that isn’tan equity one? For example, years ago I lived upstate in Rhinebeck New York and volunteered at the local armature the

The standard for what gets deleted on this board has never been consistent in my two decades of posting here. That said, from my observation, deleted posts tend to fall into one of three categories:

a) something particularly harsh is said about a very beloved Broadway actor (usually if it's about their personal life/personality etc. rather than an opinion about a performance)

 b) the post is unusually mean towards a particular board member (bullying, name-calling, etc.)

Out of place classical style of singing of a pop ballad aside, vocally she sounds fine with this clip. The problem for me though is that there is zero acting happening - no vulnerability, joy, or catharsis for one of the biggest moments in this character's life. I know it's an 80 second clip, but considering that this is an essential scene in the show, it's rather telling.

She's also doing that weird breathing technique that some critics pointed out...rather d

That might be due to the social media ****storm that occurred when her casting was initially announced. Angry unemployed Jewish musical theatre actresses and various keyboard warr

I'm going off of the audition notice, which doesn't say June should be able to "pass" as white, just that she is biracial (light skinned Black). Even without the concept, Joy Woods just seems more like a June to me. But whatevs. Louise is a great part so I'm happy for her.

[JUNE] 18+ to play Teens through 20s. Biracial; her mother is Black and her father is White. Female identifying. Mezzo Soprano with a high chest extension. Although she is in her mid-teens, Dain

Out of curiosity: why? I didn’t watch 13 Reasons Why, but I strongly recall seeing her in an adaptation of La Ronde before that show was even in production and thinking she was exceptionally talented.

It’s clear this production is going for a “young people playing all ages” concept, so I’m not sure why Tommy as
