I have heard that during the finale there is a big drag queen solo. Can you give any more info please. I've heard it is usually played by the dentist but our production is not doing that. Would it be a good role for a smaller white guy?

drag queen solo?

wtf???

that's something i've never heard before.

i know that orin usually plays all the little extra parts in the play..

but the finale is the whole cast singing "don't feed the plants".

oh your talking about in "the meek shall inherit" the three agents are suppost to be played by orin, where he has several quickchanges in the one song with the second agent being a female. but normally High Schools give these roles to 3 different people so they have a larger cast. i played a bum, the customer, and Skip Snip (the 3rd agent)

^yess. that's probably what they were reffering too.

on the broadway cast recording,
the way orin played mrs. luce was freakin scary.
that laugh!!

GAH!!!

hahaha.

for the bums, though, in Downtown,
we actually had the two people who were Audrey Two (voice & puppet) play them, and they held a sign up that said "FEED ME!"
bahahahahaha.

Mrs. Luce was a real person. she wrote the Play 'The Women".

Oh come now, Salome, you can do better than that!!! Clare Booth Luce was a FASCINATING woman, regrettably conservative Republican, but also adamantly supportive of women's right to be whatever they chose to strive for. She was not only considered a major playwright (though I may feel some of her work is not transferable except as period pieces) and screenwriter, but she was also a Congresswoman and an Ambassador. She was often used as the icon for conservative political women, much as Helen Gahagen Douglas was used for the liberal political woman. There are a LOT of reasons for the satirical use of her persona! Posters should go to Wiki and read up on her! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clare_Boothe_Luce
