Re: Kate Hennig
Have you never heard the expression "He/she is so sweet, I could just eat him/her with a spoon"? I don't know about the whole of N. America, but it is surely said here in the South from time to time as an endearment. I just assumed that her expression, "edible," was a variation on that.

Re: Kate Hennig
Kate's blog has a new entry here: http://www.billyelliotbroadway.com/blog/
PS Kate: Daldry doesn't have an e in it.
I arrived at the theatre for rehearsal in the afternoon to find the marquee at the Imperial Theatre changed to include my name. I even took a picture of it... because IT WAS SPELLED WRONG! HA, HA! You see, you get all the way to Broadway, and they still spell your name wrong. It’s okay. I knew about it before I saw it. The old human error, and not a big deal at all, but funny. And by the time I came out from the show in the evening it had been corrected.
PS Kate: Daldry doesn't have an e in it.
Yes, we certainly do love it, and it gives us hope too.. . . this is a beautiful play about the determination (and perhaps, pre-determination) of art in the individual. People love this play. That gives me hope. And I hope it gives all artists hope.

Re: Kate Hennig
And the children's costumes were far less revealing of any inner struggle than the costumes on the street: from a lady-bird, to a Borg, to a pirate, a few hippies, and... the winner in my books... the extremely clever Tessa Netting came as the Swine Flu. I trust you can imagine.
I laughed so hard when I read this! What a funny idea!
In our play, the ballet dancer at the London audition says to Billy's Dad, "You. Get behind your boy," and I feel so grateful that for my career of 28 years, my family has been right behind me all the way.
This is one of my favorite lines every time I hear it even though I often forget it when the show's over. So nice to hear Kate quote it. =)
My sweet darling thirteen-year-old boyfriend, Alex Ko, hurt himself in warm-up last week, and is out of the show until he recovers. Ugh. It is completely sick-making. Poor little lamb.
Oh well, tweens out there, Alex is spoken for!

Re: Kate Hennig
Kate's blog has another update in which she talks about David A and Maria leaving the show. A lovely tribute to them both.
