Let's see if dementia has set in yet.
I remember Audra McDonald in the original Broadway "Master Class" and looking up her bio at intermission. She was impressive in a small part.
I remember "True West" downtown brought from Steppenwolf with those unknowns as the leads, Gary Sinise and John Malkovich.
I remember Bobby Steggart in a small role in the revival of "110 in the Shade." He made an impact.
I remember seeing Joan Allen in Steppenwolf's "Reckless" in Chicago when it was performing in some basement. Also Boyd Gaines. (Although by that time, I may have already been impressed by him in "The Heidi Chronicles.")
I remember Celia Keenan-Bolger, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, and Josh Gad in the "25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee." (Gad was a replacement in the role.)
So many actors from "History Boys": James Cordon, Dominic Cooper, and Russell Tovey.
And this probably doesn't count because she already had a TV series role by that time (in "Six Feet Under"), but I really remember Lauren Ambrose as Juliet in the Central Park production. She had many qualities of character that she brought to Eliza Doolittle much later. |
