| I agree about Sutton and I love the idea of Bridget Everett! I saw the show with Jackie Hoffman, and with John Epperson as Aggravain. Hoffman was adorable (I'm sorry I don't remember the actor they cast opposite her, but he looked like a cuddly geek and made an adorable Dauntless) but as much as I like Lypsinka, every time Aggravain had a scene the energy of the show kind of changed, so I didn't think it worked. I guess Encores' thing is that they can get legit Broadway stars because the runs are short, but I'd love to see more creative casting. Still, as Mary Rodgers points out in Shy, the show has a lot of interesting supporting parts because she had to write for all those featured players at the summer camp where she was working. Maybe oh maybe Encores will cast someone interesting! |
