| Not to diminish his accomplishment at all, but Urie has done this play on a few additional occasions, so he not only learned it for the original run and also the tour, but a couple of times sense. From a memory-theory perspective, that increases the likelihood of being retained. That said, I think you are quite right. I remember an interview with Judi Dench a few years ago where she and a fellow RSC actor commented on having entire Shakespeare plays ready to go at a moment's notice and a third actor responded that he couldn't even remember a line from the previous week of filming. Different skill sets, different approaches, and in some cases, different training. | |

| Well with TV/film, you only need to know the scene for a few hours and then you let it go. I personally never put it in my long term memory and if you asked me to run the scene a couple hours later, I wouldn’t be able to. Also- you don’t even to get the scene right at all in the first place because if you mess up a line, you just back up a line and say it again. I’ve had scenes where we never did a perfect take but it was edited so well, you’d never know. | |

| I went to the final performance of August: Osage County on Broadway. Rondi Reed had last played the part in London about 6 months earlier, and had been performing as Madame Morrible in Wicked on Broadway. When I entered the lobby, I was confused yet elated to see on the understudy board that Rondi Reed was playing her Tony-winning role for that final performance. I later found out that Elizabeth Ashley, who had taken over the role, was sick, and the producers asked Reed to do that final performance that morning. Reed, of course, had done the show for a couple of years in several venues by that point, but she did not miss a beat as far as I could tell throughout the 3.5 hour long show. I was extremely impressed. |
