Megan Hilty is such a beautiful, talented, classy & sweet young woman.

[@stephenhall509]

And they still picked Karen after this???

[@CountryCowboy008]

Because Karen is a better dancer and she looks more like Marilyn/Norma Jeane than Ivy is.

[@vitoriawithanaccent]

Karen was a great Norma Jean and Ivy was a great stereotypical version of Marlyn, but for the musical to work they needed a real Marilyn, not this over sexualized caricature

[@CountryCowboy008]

@@vitoriawithanaccent exactly. Especially in live theatre, sometimes you don’t need just to be “great”. You also have to fit the role.

[@Deadgrlwalking_]

While I do prefer Ivy's performance, Ivy was really bitchy to Karen once Derek started to have Karen coach her. Honestly Karen was a good sport about it though

[@charlessoutherton8946]

I still don't get why Tom and Derek fell out? think it was mentioned why when Karen sang Touch Me episode but can't remember what was said

[@moonlightfitz]

Love it😂

[@zbotello1439]

I wonder what Derek Wills is doing now

[@lorrainericardo8680]

a bit raunchy

[@jamiegdubois]

I mean, it’s supposed to be loosely based on the life of Marilyn Monroe

[@siobhanconneely4199]

She lies alot like Peggie instead of Marlyin

[@emanuelcarvalho8510]

[@avivabumgardner6107]
