☀️ all i’ve ever known ☀️

[alovefromlongago]

the thing i really love about hadestown is anais mitchell took this myth that has (at least as it’s been told to me) been framed as “sometimes you get really close and you still fail, because humans are flawed and it just sucks” and she said “no you guys, what orpheus was trying to do should have been impossible and he almost made it anyway. the only reason he failed is because he stopped believing he could succeed”

Happy Leap Day 2016!!

For Black History Month: black principals in “Phantom of the Opera”

Phantom: Robert Guillaume, Los Angeles (1990-91)

Phantom: Norm Lewis, Broadway (2014-15)

Carlotta: Patricia Phillips, Toronto & Broadway (1993, 2003-04, 2006, 2008-09)

Carlotta: Angela M. Caesar, Restaged UK Tour (2012-13)

Carlotta: Danielle White, Las Vegas (principal 2008, 2006-12)

Christine: Lana English, Johannesburg and Pretoria (2004)

Raoul: Jordan Donica, Broadway (2016-17)

Piangi: Thabiso Masemene, World Tour (2011-16)

Piangi: John Whitney, US Tour (2001, 2004-10)

Piangi: Marcus Desando, World Tour (2004-05)

Phantom: Derrick Davis, Restaged US Tour (2016-17)

Phantom: Nicholas Nkuna, Johannesburg and Cape Town (2011-12)

(some comments: for many South Africans the term “coloured” is preferred if there’s different heritage involved, and Lana English would be considered coloured. But in the US and UK that is considered slur and usually avoided online. Just be aware of the distinction. Read more about that here.

Also, there’s been so many wonderful understudies that I did not get to list here, especially for the role of Carlotta, but also for Piangi, Meg Giry and Madame Giry. Only understudy on the list is Nicholas Nkuna, as he played the Phantom. The others are not forgotten, only left out because of Tumblr’s photo limit)

[operafantomet]

A homage to black Phantoms. Because each single one has made history.

Robert Guillaume, Los Angeles (1990-1991)

Nicholas Nkuna, Cape Town and Johannesburg (2011-2012)

Norm Lewis, Broadway (2014-2015)

Derrick Davis, Restaged US Tour (2016-2017, 2019-2020)

Quentin Oliver Lee, Restaged US Tour (2017-2019)

Guess who finally saw The Phantom of the Opera?!

[i-remember-there-was-mist]

So I just heard someone off-handedly saying, “Yeah, I know there are no small roles, just small actors, but I just think I’m better than the ensemble and really don’t want to be anything other than a lead because it’s a waste of my skills.”

We need to talk about ensemble members.  We need to talk about these heroes of the stage, these incredible actors who put in everything to help flesh out the world of a story.  These people are not second-best, they are not the rejects for the leads, they are not “just okay…”  These people are masters, and they have my highest respect in the world.  They go in there and they sing their hearts out, they dance like nothing I’ve seen, they craft characters that are full and vibrant and who have their own stories, they lift up the central story and make it shine.  

When I see Wicked, of course I see Elphaba and Galinda and all these intriguing characters and highly skilled performers, but you know what I else I see?  I see frickin’ One Short Day and this ensemble of masterful performers just lighting up the stage and bringing me on a journey.  When I see Hamilton, I see such an incredible work and unmatched leading players, but I also see this well-oiled machine of an ensemble that makes the entire show click.  And without them, the show could not be what it is.  

Ensemble members are unbelievable.  They hold their hand and invite me along into this world they’ve created, and what’s most insane is that they don’t get the credit they deserve.  At the stage door, many of them walk right on by because people are waiting for the leads.  They never get the same recognition, despite being breathtakingly brilliant on stage, and I just need to give them a shoutout.  

So whether you’re in a high school show right now and feel sad to not be a lead, or if you’re in college and trying to figure out how to make the best of an ensemble role, or you’re a professional wondering if you’ll only play ensemble roles in your career…Know that I think you rock.  Know that when you’re on stage, I watch you and I enjoy your performance and I value your skills.  Know that after the show is done, I want to give you the same recognition as each of the leads, not because “there are no small roles just small actors,” but because you guys are unmatched.  Keep it up.

The Piano Duet from The Corpse Bride except you’re touring an old Victorian mansion as it inexplicably starts to play. The line between then and now seems to blur, particularly as you walk into the ballroom and find yourself lost in a world long forgotten.
