Annaleigh Ashford

Oh, yeah.

I believe in that, um, Mrs. Lovett is Annaleigh Ashford.

Nice.

The radio DJ is played by Seth Green, Robot Chicken, Family Guy, Austin Powers.

Um, by the time Ari got there, of course, there had been 22 years of Galindas on the stage, and many, many wonderful ones.

Oh, Annaleigh Ashford, and Megan Hilty, and-

Oh, my gosh.

Right

I think another person who absolutely understands this is Laura Ellsworthy as Mary Featherstone, the lowest of the couples, the ones who come to dinner in both houses.

She does a bit of a British Annaleigh Ashford situation where she's constantly...

She always has these vocal stimulants that... recur throughout the performance because her Mary is all nerves and jittery and she's always going like, oh no, and just things like that that are very Emily Ashford coded.

But for me, they work in this one because they all tie into her character.

kristin chenoweth and ariana grande and the dedication continues and to all the scintillant galindas glinda's past present and to come because there will be many more long after i'm gone there will be galindas singing popular at their tryouts to get into glee club etc uh There have been so many of them.

Annaleigh Ashford, Megan Hilty, Kendra Kessenbaum.

The list of people who have become stars and cut their teeth on the role of Glinda slash Glinda is Legion.

But there's something special about what Kristen Chenoweth did in setting the...

The woman in the wheelchair, she was lovely.

But I just, Annalee Ashford is so, there's something about her, love it, and I admittedly have not seen a ton on either patty's love it or uh angela lansbury's love it but annaleigh ashford's love it is um from a little bit that i had heard and seen when they were doing it and i was part of the reason why i was so uh sad i couldn't make it down to see that production was i just think that her love it is so steeped and so while it's so crazy and funny and whatever and you know she's got a lot of uh communicability that is that as far as that goes i it's She is somewhere it's somewhere steep in some really crazy like realism, like there's something unstable and unsettling about her, you know, her mental state.

There's constantly something going on.

So it's like one of those things.

They will present Henry VI, parts one and two, performed together at the park, and the acclaimed...

For Henry IV, it's starring Annaleigh Ashford and Joe Tapper and Wendell Pierce, which is like huge for those.

Yeah.

Yeah, amazing.

I see.

Oh, here, Rachel Chavkin directing Henry IV parts one and two and more with Annaleigh Ashford, Wendell Pierce, and others.

Yeah, that's incredible.

I think that's the headline news to come out of this week.
