Blog post 05/05/24

Quick heads up. I haven’t yet started to catch up with my reviews. I’m first trying to catch up with my deadlines… Almost done, yay! I also won an ARC of Mine to shield by Kennedy L Mitchell, and a code for Demanding mob boss by Lucy Monroe. No new sign up, for obvious reason. Back to my books, that I enjoy very much.

Lords Vote

On: Local Authorities (Changes to Years of Ordinary Elections) (England) Order 2025

Baroness Pinnock moved that a Humble Address be presented to His Majesty praying that the Local Authorities (Changes to Years of Ordinary Elections) (England) Order 2025, laid before the House on 11 February, be annulled, as it denies timely democratic representation to a substantial portion of the electorate; undermines local democratic accountability; disrupts established electoral cycles; lacks sufficient consultation; and erodes the democratic mandate for major restructuring of local government (SI 2025/137). The House divided:

Ayes: 63 (85.7% LD, 4.8% , 3.2% Green, 1.6% XB, 1.6% DUP, 1.6% Con, 1.6% PC) Noes: 163 (90.2% Lab, 7.4% XB, 1.2% , 1.2% DUP) Absent: ~630

In less than a day, this poll has accrued more votes than the most popular poll from last week earned throughout that entire time. And it is a nailbiter.

So, I think we as a website are finally ready for the real Mrs. Lovett vs. Mrs. Lovett discourse.

Pictured: Christine Baranski and Brian Stokes Mitchell (2002); Jett Pangan and Lea Salonga (2019)

Despite their wildly different typecasts, Christine Baranski and Lea Salonga do have one role in common, and it's one of the theatre canon greats. The chatty, scatterbrained, fiendishly clever Mrs. Lovett from Sondheim's Sweeney Todd. They aren't the only Divas in our tournament to pick up the rolling pin (but more on that at a later date).

Pictured: Christine Baranski with Brian Stokes Mitchell (L, 2002), and Kelsey Grammar (R, 1999)

Christine has played the role twice, first in 1999 opposite Kelsey Grammar in the LA Reprise! concert production, and again in 2002 at the Kennedy Center opposite Broadway's Leading Man Brian Stokes Mitchell. For the later, Mary Beth Peil starred as the Beggar Woman.

Lea has also taken on this role on two separate occasions. Technically. Her first starring turn as Mrs. Lovett was for the 2019 Manilla production opposite Jet Pangan. She again stepped into the role for the Sweeney Todd segments of Sondheim's Old Friends (2023) this past year in the West End with Jeremy Secomb as Sweeney. Bernadette Peters was also lurking in the wings.

Each Diva received rave reviews across the board. For Lea, this was an opportunity to step outside her ingenue typecast to showcase her phenomenal versatility. For Christine, she brought a mischievously sexy high-camp Mrs. Lovett to the party long before Annaleigh Ashford even graduated high school.

Of the experience, Mary Beth Peil said, "It was heaven. It was like going to church every day... And to watch Christine be given permission to be as sexy and primal as she was...I sat in rehearsals, [staring] cross-legged, knitting. I was knitting an afghan for J. Smith Cameron's baby that got longer and longer...I never went home from rehearsals, I just sat and watched [Chris Ashley, the director] work wiht these two gigantic talents... I have goosebumps just talking about it." (Here's to the Ladies (2023)).

Broadway Divas Tournament: Round 1B

Lea Salonga (1971) made history in 1991 as the youngest performer to ever win Best Leading Actress in a Musical for Miss Saigon. She was just twenty years old at the time, and now all these years later, she qualifies for our MILF tournament. Lea has starred in six Broadway shows including Les Miserables (as first Eponine and then later Fantine), Once On This Island (2017), and most recently a brief stint in Here Lies Love (2023). She is also the singing voice for Disney's Mulan.

Diva, icon, certified GILF Christine Baranski (1952) has a theatre resume a mile long. A two-time Tony winner, Christine has performed on and off-Broadway, regionally, and internationally in shows such as Mame at the Kennedy Center, the pre-Broadway workshop of Sunday in the Park with George, and the infamous flop that was Nick & Nora (1991). She can be seen alongside a slew of other Broadway Divas in HBO's The Gilded Age, and has also participated in at least ten Sondheim shows and concerts over the years.

PROPAGANDA AND MEDIA UNDER CUT:

"Lea Salonga was our only major Asian representation on Broadway for decades, and yeah okay, Miss Saigon was the single most racist, orientalist, offensive show I've ever seen on Broadway, but-- Actually, no, I have no "buts" for this. It's just a bad show, and Lea Salonga deserved a better star vehicle."

"If you didn't turn into a raging lesbian from the moment you watched Christine Baranski perform "Does Your Mother Know?" in Mamma Mia, then are you really queer? THE GILF, and still able to be a high kicking bitch when she wants to."
