MCC Theater's annual MisCast gala is one of the most exciting and unique theater events in town. Broadway’s hottest stars perform songs from roles in which they would never be cast.

When I heard Bobby LuPone's voice I started to tear up. I saw A Chorus Line when I was 10 years old and Bobby Lupone was Zac then. So talented an actor, dancer, and singer. A triple threat. I focused more on him, but it was all so well done. Amazing !

Btw, this dance was choreographed with a man's body in mind (by Michael Bennett). He like Donna because he said she dances it just like a man. It is said that Bennett would sometimes dance the entire dance while the show was on stage and he was backstage and according to those who saw him, it was the best rendition they've ever seen. Too bad there is no video record of Bennett dancing this number.

Amazing job. I saw the original...when I was very young and remember thinking, along with my parents, the stamina that those 9 minutes took...and on a much bigger stage, so more running around to do. How Mr. Fairchild did it, technically wonderful, having to learn moves he never learned as a male principal, moving in a female part. Sings, too. I think it was great when he fell at the end, an exclamation of how hard that dance routine is and a testament to all the "Cassie's" out there, who have danced it. Great!

He was fantastic! Wish this was performed with a full orchestra. Would have been even more amazing as the orchestration was done to compliment the choreography. It's a BIG orchestration with lots of brass and the movements go well with that sound. Not so much with a high pitched piano. I love the masculine touches he added. That paired with the orchestration would have been so thrilling!

I've watched the video of Donna McKechnie do this maybe a hundred times, so it is completely ingrained in my system (for the record, I watch them all - Charlotte d'Amboise is amazing, too, as is Jessica Lee Goldyn's) and I feel like there is a style that this number requires that is less ballet-ic than what the classically trained Mr. Fairchild is used to performing, and there are times when I miss that aesthetic. Nevertheless, it is wonderful to see his take on the number, as an actor, as a singer, as a dancer. I enjoyed watching it, and I must say that, even though I prefer the more fluid, sensual, grounded movement of Donna McKechnie, the quality of Fairchild's movement is beyond reproach. He is an absolutely exquisite dancer - and as a performer who started in dance and moved to singing and acting, he acquits himself very nicely in those areas, too. I'm glad I watched it - it's a nice contrast to the Tony Yazbeck version.

It's a misconceptionthaat Cassie was based on Donna McKechnie. She was actually based on Leland Palmer. After intitial success in New York, Palmer went to Holywood, appeared in the movie "The Fortune Cookie"...then, nothing. Returning to NY, she auditioned for the Miliken Breakfast Show, directed that year by Michael Bennet. He told her it was riduclous for her to audition for a chorus job. She answered "Not to me. I need this job." Unlike Cassie, she was NOT hired. She did, however, play Fastrada in "Pippin", and Joe Gideon's wife in the film "All That Jazz".

Robert Fairchild is originally from the state of Utah, trained at NYCB like his sister (Megan Fairchild), and took a leave from NYCB to originate the role of “Jerry Mulligan” in Christopher Wheeldon’s AN AMERICAN IN PARIS in Paris, Broadway, and the West End. Left NYCB to pursue other dance-related interests in film, stage, and media. Fairchild is also an entrepreneur with his own floral business, Boo-Kay NYC that came about due to COVID-19.
