Oh, I'm sure it was difficult for her! But she won it

Quote:

I'd presume you'd have to wait until the hair is stronger & you're more healthy

Yeah

I wonder whether she'll die them again at some point.

***shinebrighterxx*** · 09-08-2015, 03:10 AM

Exactly

Possibly. I feel as though she will, I get the impression she likes to

**airali_glo** · 09-08-2015, 01:09 PM

But cancer changes you, I guess, maybe this time she'll keep them natural

Spring begins previews tonight!

Exciting

**airali_glo** · 09-09-2015, 01:56 PM

There were 23 Broadway debuts, too!

An interview with Krysta and Andy and pictures! I'm starting thinking that the red hair are dyed

Quote:

Their main shared credit—and how they became such good friends—is Smash. They were both cast on the second season—Mientus’s first time on camera and Rodriguez’s first series regular role—and that experience bonded them for life, as they joined the series with a new showrunner, Joshua Safran, and they had to wade through the newness of working on television and bond together against a lot of the hate-watching that greeted the series.

“I was really nervous and learning while I was doing it,” Mientus remembers. “We worked so hard, like countless hours spent, and then you know a lot of people really loved it and a lot of people were really snarky about it and made fun of it.”

“But all we heard was snark,” adds Rodriguez.

Once the show ended, Rodriguez did First Date on Broadway, and she remembers being greeted at the stage door by hoards of fans, who would tell her how much they loved Smash.

“It was so restorative,” she says, then adds that the positives are mostly what she and Mientus hear now. They’ve done a few concerts of the show-within-a-show Hit List, and when asked if there’s a future, they tease a little bit.

“There might be,” says Rodriguez. “You can never see the last of Hit List.”

Mientus and Rodriguez still hang out regularly with Safran and another second season newcomer, Jeremy Jordan. They love going out for a meal—Mientus mentions that he still wants to take Rodriguez to his favorite place, L’Artusi

FULL INTERVIEW HERE

The snarky comments are the thing she always mentiones in interviews about Smash

luckily there were fans who told them how much they loved it, too!

How did I miss this before?

I remember looking at the pics so why didn't I at least respond to them?

I hate that they remember the snarky comments so much that they keep mentioning it

. At least there is also the positives & they had love as well

I love those pics

**airali_glo** · 09-23-2015, 01:08 PM

I hope Andy dyes his hair brown again soon

Krysta looks good in red! I wonder if she wants to go back to her previous cut.

Quote:

At least there is also the positives & they had love as well

Yeah. I guess they feel more the comments because they mere in the season which got much of them (S1 had the bad comments, but not as mush as S2).

***shinebrighterxx*** · 09-24-2015, 02:37 AM

I don't know, I kinda love both of their hair

. But on the other hand I do also miss the brown for Andy

They probably wondered if they were to blame, especially since some of the bad was directed at them. It would have hit harder

**airali_glo** · 09-24-2015, 02:07 PM

I've never read anything against their characters (Jeremy got more hate)

***shinebrighterxx*** · 09-25-2015, 02:07 AM

I think the hate was more directed at him, but I have a feeling there was hate towards the changes & new characters added in general

. Just seeing Jeremy's hate would have hurt though I'm sure

**airali_glo** · 09-25-2015, 01:33 PM

Yeah
