| In terms of Gemignani's billing, it's worth pointing out that the 2008 revival did the doubling different than the original, so Gemignani was also playing Dennis in the second act, which made it a larger role than the original Boatman track. I don't know that this track would necessarily still deserve above the title billing - and you're right that Roundabout gives out this perk rather than paying a fair wage - but it's not quite as ridiculous as your accounting suggests in terms of the roles he played. For the most recent revival, the original track was restored, meaning that David Turner has the distinction of playing Franz on Broadway twice but Dennis only once. |

| S/F, thanks for the insight. That version of Sunday in the Park is the first one I ever saw, so I did not know that the doubling was different than usual. I wonder why it was changed. Everyone will have a different reaction to every production, but I left feeling that Gemignani's above-the-title billing was completely bizarre. I guess it's because he may have lines, but he doesn't have songs, and I didn't really see much of a complex character in either act. Michael Cumpsty and Jessica Molaskey also had above-the-title billing, but that didn't seem that strange because they shared a song as Jules and Yvonne early in the show, and they made some impact on me. But Gemignani did not. He just seemed to be an ensemble player with no larger impact than any other ensemble player. | |
