Michael Hurst

We've got Christine Gerke, Janai Brugger, Stephanie Blythe, Anthony Roth-Costanzo, Peter Mattei as Abraham Lincoln, Jonah Hoskins, Joshua Blue, Ryan McKinney, another friend of the show.

A couple of boy sopranos playing Willie Lincoln, Everett Sobers, and Michael Hurst trading off.

Liliana Blaine-Cruz will be directing, and Yannick Nézet-Sagan will conduct.

Absolutely stacked cast.

no it's not he is he's responsible for so much absolutely

and i feel like that's really like summed up in michael hearst saying of whenever he would come on set to keep the energy up he would say i've got time and money who wants some and i'm just like

but the thing is that realistically this

dude probably has neither of both because he's like running this incredibly like he's running at the peak of it right for pacific renaissance he's running 1 700 staff members wow

Lucy Lawless as like another nun.

Another nun.

Yeah, and like Michael Hurst is in it, Zoe Bowers in it.

There's like, you know.

God bless that man, but whoa.

Michael Hurst, he's got, like, the crow's feet-

Whoa

... and you're just like, "Aren't you, like, 23?"

And that's kind of the main thing.

It's got a great turn by Michael Hurst.

He shows up and is just scene stealing everything every time he pops up.

And it's what I've seen so far.

It was amazing.

It was a Michael Hurst production of Othello, and I loved playing Iago.

I loved playing villains.

I love it when people have the courage to cast me as something that's not funny.

Yeah, look, the show is all about sex and overtness and campness but the trick for me was to not play him camp.

There was an obvious tip of the hat to Tim Curry and that came out a bit in my performance but I wanted to make it my own and I had a history of doing sort of cabaret stuff where I was playing drag acts a few years earlier so I kind of dipped my toe into that world I suppose in a way but I think with a great direction from Simon Prast and Oliver Driver and we had Michael Hurst was in it and Bala Kalolo and Mikey Havoc of course and we all just channelled this energy and we made this amazing spectacle which was really a highlight of my career really

So here he is, RIP Tim Curry a very unique figure in acting

Yeah, he's very sad.
