P!nk and her daughter are doing Next to Normal — Page 3

The whole nepo thing is just weird. If this production ever happens, it is happening for one and only one reason which is that Pink is in it so I think she can dictate who she wants in the cast. It’s her show. But most importantly her real life daughter would be playing her show daughter. That is priceless and not something that happens often, as far as I’m aware.

Marin and Jason being together in real life absolutely added something.

Knowing Imelda Staunton was the real life mother to her daughter in a recent west end play also made it more tolerable.

The ‘nepo’ framing assumes that other people would be more suitable to the role but missed out because of nepotism. In this specific case that is not true. If you’re not the real life daughter of Pink, you’re not as suitable.

Obviously she needs to be good enough and still have adequate singing and acting abilities but she doesn’t need to be the best because the value she is providing is that she is the real life daughter playing her show daughter.

You can when you’re the damn producer. Countless performers produce their projects just for this reason AND for creative control. When no one is offering you the roles you want to play, you take matters into your own hands and make things happen."

Check binau's posted comment which I quoted and replied to. Nothing in it references Pink as a producer, simply a performer, but I appreciate your informative non sequitir nonetheless.

You don’t have to be a producer it simply depends on who has the power in the scenario.

Pink would be a huge get, I just hope the production lives up to her talents, and is able to get a great acting performance out of her. I’d certainly rather see Pink win the Tony than Rachel Zegler."

Got better idea. Try to get Caisse Levy who starred in revival on the West End and received excellent reviews. Pink is total unknown when it comes to acting and this role is very demanding.

And I think this is utter nonsense.

Newsflash: Pretty much every STAR who does Broadway has right of approval of the rest of the cast. (Even the understudies).

Keep up old man, BWW is finally reaching the year 2007.

Because they're ACTUALLY going into CHICAGO. Pink is Velma and Willow is Roxy. My cousin's friend worked for Pink in the early 2000's and asked.

But seriously Brody, I actually tend to believe you on this one. This seemed far fetched. But I don't think it would have some monstrosity that some were predicting. I laugh when there's such backlash before an announcement.

P!nk is above Chicago. Next to Normal may be ambitious for her, but I’d rather see her aim big than replace whatever D-list reality star crawled their way over to Broadway after a failed fun on Dancing with the Stars.

Your comment pretty much guarantees the rumor is true. But even a broken clock…
