    The thing that must be so magical about being in Falsettos is how small the cast is. It's always great to have a huge, awesome ensemble, but to have a lovely, tight-knit family of just 7 people must be amazing

    Once read an interview with Mandy Patinkin who talked about seeing the original '92 production of Falsettos and experiencing immediate and total "role envy" to the extent that he had to keep from rushing the stage, shoving aside the actor playing Marvin and taking over the role. After the show he called his agent and said he wanted to be the next replacement Marvin and so it came to pass!

    I just watched Falsettos on Broadway HD and loved it. What I find interesting is that when I was young my family also went to London and we saw Phantom and Les Mis. Then when I was 21 or so I got to work with Christian in West Virginia at the WVPT for summer stock. After that about a year later or so, he came through Mpls in West Side Story and while I was working at the MOA movie theater he came to see a movie. He remembered me and saved me a ticket for his show. So I can say I knew him before his fame. :D. He probably wouldn't remember me though. It was so long ago. And since he isn't on social media it is impossible to get a hold of him.

    • @la.uralox
      @la.uralox 2 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Honestly! It’s such a UK staple! Tbh it doesn’t really make sense for us to have ice cream, it’s one of the few “snacks” that has to be kept at a specific temperature. My best guess is because you can’t make any noise eating ice cream!

      StripesofShay Part One (Millennium Approaches) is around 3.5 hours without including (usually) 2 intervals and Part Two (Perestroika) is just over 4 hours without including 2 intervals again - they're generally not performed on the same day (in London atleast), with only a few big two show days!
