yet another capricious act by a capricious man

katrina lenk is playing madame giry in the audiobook of alw's "christine centered" phantom musical novelization

sorry but the kid who plays edgar/little boy in the obc of ragtime is iconic. no other child actor has ever measured up in this or any other role. "this is sarah's baby... you want a cookie?" this alex strange kid is the perfect 90's socially inappropriate weirdo with unexplained clairvoyant powers. i mean, they must have cut "harry houdini, master escapist" not just because of saving money on the magic trick, but because no one can match alex's energy. the lore goes so deep. baby paul dano played the role pre-broadway in toronto, but declined to continue because he wanted to play with his basketball team. tony winner brandon uranowitz played the role after but was let go, but he would later play tateh in the broadway revival. lea michele was the little girl and bullying her understudy even then. but alex's delivery of all his lines will always win.

it irritates me that the cops get a solo line in the finale of sweeney todd. they're present, but not major characters. give johanna an additional solo. thx steve

wow they really don't let 40+ year olds play christine anymore
