Quote:
there were unfortunately some dates in April that Lauren wouldn't be performing. The guy at the theatre office told us and even wrote the dates down for us: april 7th, 9th, 14th, 15th and 16th. Possibly the 8th also.

*REMINDER*
This thread is going to see a lot of action in the coming days and months. TO make sure that things are somewhat organized, please make sure that you post your experiences/information in the most appropriate threads.

Post sightings/experiences (Stagedoor pics and videos) with Lauren in the Met/Saw thread.
Post information/reviews/thoughts about Lauren in G&D or about G&D itself in this thread.
Post things about heading to NYC, trips to NYC in the Meet and Greet thread.

We don't want to clog threads like this with things that don't relate to the play itself.

Thanks

Changed it again

From the previous thread, posted by Deana

Quote:
Here is something from Newsday.com. It's negative but I like the fact that they say it is doing big at the box office, despite negative reviews.

Quote:
The biggest disappointment must be "Guys and Dolls," which, despite negative reviews, is doing big box office. Director Des McAnuff seems not to have believed that these beloved Damon Runyon characters and their witty, ravishing songs could have been spoken today without being tarted up with dizzying scenery, ugly-edged choreography and updated musical arrangements. There is something wrong when the actors, including stage newcomers Lauren Graham and a miscast Oliver Platt, get so lost in the scenery.
'Hair' is a great revival, but we need new plays -- Newsday.com

If anyone is interested in learning more about Lauren's understudy, here is an article abour her. It's very long and I just kind of skimmed through it so far, but maybe someone is interested. It does mention that she will be performing for Lauren Apr 7-9 and 14-16.

Thanks for the new thread

And thanks for the things on the previous thread. That interview with Oliver Platt is great. I loved to hear his opinion on some things. And the thing about Lauren was cute as well

Ooh and Alexis' reaction. So sweet

Thanks Debbie. That was one long but very interesting interview. I had no clue Lorin is that experienced. And her family is impressive.

Thanks, Debbie - that was a great lunchtime read for me about Lorin. I'm actually looking forward to seeing her perform on the 15th now . . . she certainly has an impressive resume. I will, of course, still miss our Lauren a lot - but it will be a good experience to compare the two performances nonetheless.
