she stops that stupid, repeated, high pitched laugh. Once or twice is enough.

It's funny, the laugh MUST have struck something in you to think it would be ok if it only happened twice...since it only happens 3 times. ("...wherever he is, I'm not sure." [laugh] "...heavy veil." [laugh] "...then push!" [laugh] have been delivered consistently at every performance I've seen) Technically, only the second laugh is specified in the published script, but it's described with a "laughs, slaps her knee" stage direction, so the scale Feldstein takes it to seems within reason.

I don't know that making it a conditional term for Feldstein would make much of a difference, though. Understudy Haley Podschun delivered a nearly identical laugh in the same 3 places when I saw her on as Minnie.

Oh yeah. It certainly DID strike a LOT in me. It was stupid the first time.

My point was more that I think it's interesting that twice would have been acceptable to you, but three was not. Your initial post was strongly worded in a way that could be read as commentary on something the actress was doing a lot throughout the show, as opposed to only 3 times (and only in that one scene)

And to not give you false hope it'll change, since Feldstein's understudy has been directed to retain the choice.

Yeah...I got your point the first time

A little hyperbole never hurt anyone...except maybe you?
