The Great Cast of 1812: Nick Choksi (Fedya Dolokhov)

That’s the first thing I got told at the after party, after opening night, everybody was like: “sexually menacing” and I was like “I just want a chai tea.”

i love the great comet cast because they're all so humble and kind esp on social media where they have the largest audience. they could easily be one of those casts that doesn't interact much with fans or like/reply to tweets but they're not and they seem to make a real effort to interact and engage with fans. of course this makes me even MORE sad when i think about the fact that they're all gonna be out of a job come sunday but they're all such good people that i doubt they'll be unsuccessful in their own careers and im excited to see where they go and what they do after comet's done

The Great Cast of 1812: Denée Benton (Natasha Rostova) 

I actually really relate to Natasha. I relate to how much she is in love with life and the world, and it's a test—Andrey leaves her for a year. He listens to his dad and he leaves her. It's not now; they're not FaceTiming. She's getting a letter maybe once a month. I have more compassion, also having been in a long distance relationship, for what it's actually like to be distracted by your surroundings and sort of this out-of-sight, out-of-mind quality. It's the first person she's ever loved that deeply. I get why this hot guy could come along and distract her. In the book, there are all these lines like, "I can't remember what he looks like. I can't remember his face. I can't remember his touch." That's tough. Then Anatole comes along, and it's like, "Well, I can touch him." And for her to actually feel that sexual desire in a real way ... I think Andrey touches her in a place of love and being cared for, but when your girl starts to jump for the first time, it's a shocking feeling.

The Great Cast of 1812: Lucas Steele (Anatole Kuragin)

I think for me, villains are conscious of the fact that they are doing something wrong. And [Anatole] has no idea. He gets it at the end, I think; there’s a brief moment of realization that, oh, I should have handled this differently, but he’s not mustache-twisty to me. He’s just really very-child like, in that ‘I see shiny object, I want it for my own, I will run it down until I get it’ way. He looks in the mirror, and he thinks, Good to go.

The Great Cast of 1812: Amber Gray (Hélène Kuragina)

I think Hélène, at one point, actually did try with Pierre and did love him, or really wanted to love him. It was sort of an arranged situation. And at this point in their relationship, there’s just no more love. There’s actually some hatred between them, and I think she’s thoroughly bored. She’s looking to have a good time and be out on the town. But in this particular story, I think a lot of what motivates her is making sure that her brother is happy and pleased. She really, really loves her brother and will do anything for him.

The Great Cast of 1812:  Brittain Ashford (Sonya Rostova)

Sonya is just so... wholesome? In the show Sonya serves as Natasha's confidant, devoted friend, and moral compass. Her duty to her family far surpasses any self interest, and in that way she is very good.

The Great Cast of 1812: Josh Groban (Pierre Bezukhov)

He [Pierre] simultaneously kind of shuns and criticizes the vapidness and narcissisms of society, and at the same time so badly wants to be a part of it. I thought that was so much more interesting as a character than any of the step-out-in-the-spotlight ‘leading man’ kind of roles.
