Wayman, thanks for your confirmation that it wasn't Fankhauser's idea (and presumably, not Newsies's idea, either, since I think Fankhauser would have known about it). It would have been strange for either Fankhauser and/or the production to have wanted the category bump, but the production petitioning for it would have made it understandable, at least.
I agree with what you are saying about Kara Lindsay. She got put in Leading because it's the largest female role, but it's a Featured role in my opinion. But I think it's justifiable to put her in Lead, while I don't feel that is the case with Fankhauser. |
