Matinee: Peter, Jack & Myles as Tall Boy; Laura Marie as Mrs. W.
Evening: Myles, Cameron & Giuseppe as VERZY Tall Boy; Laura Marie as Mrs. W.
You can imagine my joy when I saw someone else coming in for Mrs. W. Laura Marie did a great job, quite honestly better than Emily. Her performance makes more sense, and she doesn’t just throw away the lines. You can actually hear all of them for a change. Just everything about her performance was fun to watch.
General observations:
In the matinee show, Peter threw his jacket so far at the beginning of Angry Dance it ended up hanging from the railing of the first box.
I realize now that the reason Big Davey sings “It’s not unusual…” at the beginning of act two is to give the audience more time to settle in. It is a fun change.
Again, I mention that the suitcase packing scene is so much more fun, with each Billy doing his own thing. Myles grabs all the clothes and throws them at dad, who throws some of them back. And I like Tony giving Billy the finger, but it is weird that sometimes he pulls it out of his pocket and sometimes he doesn’t.
Myles flubbed a line in The Letter Sunday night. He recovered well; the average viewer would not have noticed.
