| "In this original cast I thought Sigourney had the right Durang energy (from 40 years of experience) but even that didn't always elevate the material." Interesting, as I thought she was the only cast member who missed the boat -- and missed it by a long shot, so much so that almost every time her character started speaking, I found myself hoping she's soon stop. To each their own! |

| I totally agree. She seemed to have little understanding of the character, absolutely no comic timing and as a result left a huge hole in the play. Would love to have seen Julie White. The rest of the cast were terrific. | |

| Julie WHite nailed Masha when she took over - mainly because she showed us the real person under Masha;'s artifice. ANd also invented one of the biggest laughs in the show. | |

| Here you go ... in the scene where Masha comes downstairs dressed as Snow White, Nina asks Masha, in re Spike: "What is he going as?" and Masha replies: "He's going as Prince Charming. It took a long time to convince him .... so everyone tell him he looks sexy." Sigourney just said this, instructing people how to respond to help HER out. Julie White - in the space where I put (...) - rotates her haw for a moment - letting us know EXACTLY how she convince Spike. It brought down the house every night. | |
