“Juliet, are you sure you want to be with me?”

”Of courseI want to be with you.”

Congrats Lorna on a fantasticrun!"


WTF is MTL? Maybe Mary Todd Lincoln??"

I also really love that Lorna got to keep the Juliet necklace she wore!

TaffyDavenport said: "Attendees today received a note in the Playbill encouragingmid-show standing ovations, but specifically asked everyone to stand after "Roar.""

According to a thread on Reddit,  the slip wasn't put into Playbills, but handed out to people in line outside the theatre by a group of Miss Courteney's friends who wanted to do something special for her.

I’ve seen a lot of people calling it cringe but I think it’s sweet.

Good for her!  She was my Juliet when I saw the show and she was great.

I was there last night! Keeping in mind it was her first performance, she was totally solid. Her Juliet was a little more grounded and mature than Lorna's. She had some great vocal moments, but the higher stuff was thin. I'm sure she's still working out pacing, stamina etc. and will undoubtedly grow.

The biggest delight of the evening for me was Oliver Tompsett! High energy, chemistry with Betsy was off the charts and vocals were stellar. Probably my favorite of the 3 Shakespeares. Charity sounded killer, but I did miss Melanie's nurse.

Show is in great shape, just such an easy and fun night. I would say house was 80% full. Hope they can keep trucking along for a while longer...

Caught Maya this afternoon and thought she was wonderful. More on her in a moment.

My main reason for going back (other than I get the shakes if I don’t revisit the show every month or so) was to catch Oliver who reminded me why he’s the best Shakespeare you’ll ever see in the role. He’s even funnier/dopier than he was toward the end of his run in London and he already seems to have the same chemistry with Betsy that he had with Cassidy, which is really cool to see. The entire cast is so comfortable in their roles that they can just let loose and have fun with it, without sacrificing any of their professionalism and breaking character etc. 

So while Maya was really great it’s going to just take her a little time until she’s comfortable enough with the dynamic everyone else has, to just let loose with them - and that’s not at all a criticism. I can’t wait to go back again and see how she’s evolved. 

I love this show so much lol

I love Oliver and Betsy. I think they have a really great dynamic already!
