MockingbirdGirl...maybe I'm wrong, but a revival of a sixty year old musical, which might need "names" in the leading roles to sell tickets, I'd say...perhaps. ( although Kelli & Ken are not what I'd consider names at the box office), but "Miss Saigon" did not need to cast Jonathan...what's-his-name in the Broadway production.
If they announced at today's matinee of "Harry Potter" that the roles of Gobbly Gook and Kiss-My-Wand were being played by two of the understudies, would anyone run to the box office and demand a refund?
ANYWAY...I'm not a Gypsy or an actor. My real gripe is Equity's lack of power in stopping those Non-Equity tours. If I were an actor, I would be FURIOUS! |
