@vaguelyominouscoconuts are we *still* on the teal alt???? /lh
OKAY SIT DOWN SHUT UP, WEāRE GONNA TALK COLORS
THIS IS SAPPHIRE
THIS IS TEAL
THIS IS PERIWINKLE
THIS IS AZURE
Ā AND THIS IS TURQUOISE
WONDER WHY THOSE ALL DONāT LOOK LIKE THE SAME COLOR? BECAUSE THEY ARE NOTĀ
OTHER THAN BEING PART OF THE SAME FAMILY OF BLUES, THEY ARE NOT ALL THE SAMEĀ FUCKING COLOR! WHY WOULD THEY ALL BE THE SAME FUCKING COLOR! DO YOU THINK WE JUST NAME NEW COLORS FOR KICKS!?!?!?
WHEN DESCRIBING A CHARACTERāS GOD FORSAKEN EYE COLOR, PICKĀ ONEĀ YA GODDAMN HIPPIE
I think Courtney Mackās Boleyn is pretty similar to that, from what Iāve heard!
Portrayals of the queens I would like to see some day
Aragon: A fundamentally nice and smiley lady who has been pushed so far that sheās only just managing to keep from boiling over with repressed anger. A very passive aggressive mom-type.
Boleyn: Someone whoās been through this song and dance a hundred times and got sick of it a long time ago. āDonāt Lose Ur Headā is viciously sarcastic and the overall performance is a far cry from the usual gremlin portrayal.
Seymour: Sort of the Audrey from Little Shop thing where all her dialogue is done in this super soft, tiny voice, and the fact sheās the best belter in the show is set in sharp contrast to that
Cleves: Soft!!!! Sheās just pleasantly surprised by how well everything worked out and enjoying her life. Sheās not trying to brag inĀ āGet Downā, sheās just. stating the facts: Sheās awesome and perfect and no one can bring her down.
Howard: Babey. Naive and lovestruck and doesnāt want to hurt anyone. Starts off thinking of everything as a game until the last two choruses ofĀ āAll You Wanna Doā, where she legit starts having an emotional/nervous breakdown.
Parr: Someone whoās just wracked with grief. Sheās still a very strong and assertive lady, but the fact that she lost her love and that her and her fellow queens are only remembered as numbers is gut-wrenchingly painful for her.
So all the alts currently cover 3 roles. Thatās it. Theyāre not learning/working on any other roles (confirmed by Nicole).
Therefore, covers are as follows:
for anyone who cares:
I talked to nicole today, who confirmed that the broadway alts are only covering 3 queens each and not even learning/working on any other tracks.
Based on this knowledge (plus rehearsal footage and already confirmed roles), covers are as follows:
nicole: aragon/cleves/boleyn
mal: seymour/k howard/aragon
court: k howard/boleyn/parr
kiersten: parr/cleves/seymour
I shall explain. Nicole's covers were confirmed by her in a takeover, plus she has had her aragon and cleves debuts.
Mal confirmed in the same takeover that she covers k howard. She has had her seymour debut. She also confirmed in a live today that she covers aragon, plus we have rehearsal footage and she has a wig.
Court has made her k howard and boleyn debuts. She played parr in her most recent dress rehearsal!
Kiersten has made her parr and seymour debuts. Then cleves is process of elimination in order for all the queens to have 2 covers.
Trying to figure out the 2021 Broadway alts system mood

Mal confirmed in the same takeover that she covers k howard. She has had her seymour debut. For aragon, we have rehearsal footage where she was confirmed to be playing aragon, plus she has an aragon wig
Court has made her k howard and boleyn debuts. We also have rehearsal footage of her singing IDNYL
Kiersten has made her parr debut. We have rehearsal footage where she's confirmed to play seymour. Then cleves is process of elimination in order for all the queens to have 2 covers.
*shrugs* All I know is Nicole mentioned that the rehearsal was specifically for their ānewā covers. Which is why it was court parr, mal aragon, Nicole Boleyn, and Kiersten Seymour. Iām not saying itās not possible they switched tracks just for idnyl, but in my mind, it doesnāt make sense.
Okay yāall @lightleckrereins and I are 99% sure the rehearsal yesterday was Nicole Boleyn, Mallory Seymour, Keirsten Howard, and Courtney Parr. I know the placement sometimes looks like others but if you look closely at some of the choreo/placement thatās character specific (and assume none of them are messing up) thatās what it should be.
This frustrates me to no end. And honestly it should be illegal.
PSA to all my NYC area pals.
Thereās currently 4 2nd row tickets for tonightās show on Ticketmaster for only $179! Other premium seats are still listed at $499. Jump on āem!!
