Would Laura Osnes be a fresh face example landing a B-way lead role? I know her case was non-traditional (i.e. casted on a reality TV show), but she's the first that comes to mind.
@PattyandEmily, I thought the pilot was great and very touching. People at several screenings on the internet have said that the pilot is great. Also, critics are giving this pilot a raving review
It is just a TV show. I hope NO ONE thinks it is real life. I hope NO ONE thinks any TV show is real life. Suspend disbelief, it is a fun show and neat way to feel connected to the Broadway process (even if it is unrealistic).
The thing is, its a TV Show. No TV show is completely factual and literal. I think they're doing a great job though. Same thing with them harmonizing in their auditions....its a TV Show, and they're doing that for the entertainment of the show. Not trying to make you think one sang the melody in their audition and the other sang the harmony.
LMAO. First, I love your Stephanie J Block reference. I am still personally pissed about it (her not getting wicked) lol. Also, the harmony, like I was thinking the same thing lol. But it sounded good. And, while your talking about Funny Girl, I still think Stephanie J Block should have been cast I don't care how old she is. She is perfect for the role. Finally, I love you guys!
Ok, here's the thing. You're 100% right that the show is wildly inaccurate, but the same can probably be said for Grey's Anatomy or Law & Order or other profession-based TV shows. Strictly looking at it objectively as a TV show, it was entertaining and really well done.
Also, re: the harmonies, that's part of the suspended disbelief of music theater, y'know? That moment could totally happen on stage and you would buy it.
@samiam1432 We agree! After talking about how unrealistic it all is, we said we were entertained in spite of that. As for the harmonies, it's just something I (Patty) find hilarious to think about.

THANK YOU! I think all I've been saying since I saw the pilot was "Stephanie J Block!". Glad I'm not alone.

Where did you see the pilot at? I know NBC is doing something 'unusual' with releasing the pilot before it airs. Any links, please? Thanks!!
