Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed. Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. Our policies can be reviewed here.
All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation.
All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.
Two-time Tony Award winner John Cullum started out playing Shakespeare in New York, was in the original cast of Camelot, On a Clear Day You Can See Forever, On The Twentieth Century, and Shenandoah. Then he was in Urinetown. He was understandably baffled the first time he read the script.
Christy Carlson Romano took the role of Kate/Lucy in Avenue Q. There is something a bit jarring in hearing Kim Possible cry "f* ck, it sucks to be me".
Andrea McArdle, the original Annie, has returned to show business and now plays the nasty Miss Hannigan.
In 1980, David Bowie — he of the sultry voice, smooth onstage moves, and cool persona — made his Broadway debut as the title character in The Elephant Man. Beyond the role being that of The Grotesque, it is a notorious challenge for an actor, since the script's instructions dictate that he must rely on twisted body language and vocal distortion rather than makeup to convey his severe deformities, but Bowie got excellent reviews.
Laurence Fishburne, known for playing serious, stoic types, played the title role in Thurgood, a one-man-play about Supreme Court justice Thurgood Marshall, who was something of a Boisterous Bruiser.
The otherwise light-hearted Opal Peachey plays a naughty leather-clad character in Modern Luv.
