Broadway Divas Tournament: Round 1A

It is a deeply painful truth that five-time Tony nominee Jan Maxwell (1956-2018) never won what she deserved. One of the most critically acclaimed actresses in this city, she was the second actress after Angela Lansbury to receive nominations across all four categories, and the fourth to achieve two in a single season. Her work included A Doll's House (1997), Lend Me a Tenor (2010), and Follies (2011). She famously quit the off-Broadway production of Entertaining Mr. Sloane because Alec Baldwin was an abusive dick, and she was an icon who didn't tolerate that shit. Jan died in 2018 from complications due to breast cancer. She was 61. And the Broadway League did not dim the lights for her as they had done for so many others. Two theatres went "rogue" and dimmed them anyway in her honor.

A legend among character actresses, Jayne Houdyshell (1953) is a five-time Tony nominee who did win what she deserved, earning her first Tony for The Humans in 2016. She featured in twelve Broadway shows, including A Doll's House, Part Two (2017), The Music Man (2022), and Follies (2011). She will return to Broadway this season in Lincoln Center's Uncle Vanya, making it lucky number thirteen. Jayne can also be seen on Only Murders in the Building where, spoiler, she gets murdered.

PROPAGANDA AND MEDIA UNDER CUT:

youtube

"I cannot stress to everyone how much I love and miss Jan Maxwell. Of the three dead blonde women on this poll tournament, she is the one people forget because she was an *actress* first, and a singer after, and musicals and musical divas dominate the conversation. But for those of us who know the theatre, we know Jan Maxwell, and we know the stage is dimmer because she is gone. In Follies, Bernadette Peters was The Star. But Jan was The Actress. And oh, was she ever."

youtube

"Now that is a Broadway Baby of the highest caliber. Jayne Houdyshell is a beloved character actress with a fantastic and robust career. She's done it all: musicals, plays, regional, touring, Broadway, and everything beyond. With all the Follies drama backstage, Jayne stayed in her lane, unbothered, unconcerned, and living her best damn life."

Cecily von Ziegesar in Gossip Girl

In the fourth season finale of Gossip Girl, Cecily von Ziegesar, the author of the books, appears as an alumna of Constance Billard-St. Jude's School who tells Serena (Blake Lively) she has heard about her. Von Ziegesar told townandcountrymag.com that “I had to wear five-inch heels because Blake Lively is like six feet tall and I’m only five foot two.”

Jan Maxwell - The Story of Lucy and Jessie from Sondheim's "Follies" in 2011

This MUST qualify as one of the hardest of all Sondheim's songs to sing, the lyrics are a non stop tongue twister, with a rhyme scheme it would be staggeringly easy to mess up.

Me and my sister watched Hellsing together. Here's her opinion on the characters

- Alucard: "He's a cunt, but he's entertaining. I'd probably pay to see him in a strip club. I didn't like him and his shit-eating grin and 'master' bullshit at first, but he grew on me quick and i don't like that he grew on me. He's a complex character, and he's hot asf when he cries. Also I wish we'd seen his Dracula form for longer; that was awesome. Him and Anderson had a thing going on."

- Seras: "Didn't really mind her at first, but liked her after she drank blood. Her transformation and the guns are really fucking cool. I didn't like her voice and her whining at first but it got better after a few episodes. I like her when her personality became a little bit more spunky. Her story's fucked up."

- Integra: "Absolute bad bitch. Her attitude reminds me of myself so idk if I should like it or hate it, she's got a lot of pride which I respect. Really human and I like it, she takes no one's shit and she's a badass. Didn't even FLINCH when she got her eye shot out. Girlboss. She gives me ace vibes also."

- Walter: "I liked him, he was funny. And then he betrayed everyone and became emo. He gave good advice, and he was cool as hell with that wise older veteran vibe. I'm disappointed in him, but the plot twist was actually good. You'd notice the signs if you suspected him from the beginning."

- Pip: "He's FINE. I'd braid his hair any day. I was in love and then I mourned. I'm widowed. He was hilarious, plus his voice actor nailed the French. My favorite character. Screeched when he came back. He's a good leader and I loved his speeches, also his death made me cry. And I don't often cry when watching anime."

- Anderson: "kinda neutral. I didn't like him at first, he was obnoxious as fuck. Then he respected women and opposed Maxwell and his orders so he grew in my esteem a bit. His character is cool as fuck tho. I wish he didn't turn into a monster, he fell to the same level as Alucard. It's like human greed or desperation for power. Him and Alucard had a thing going on."

- Enrico Maxwell: "Lucius Malfoy. I hate him but not the one I hate most."

- Heinkel & Yumie: "Really like these two lesbians. So cool and I respect their resolve, especially Heinkel's. Rip Yumi. You were cool. Heinkel being intersex is a dope detail, she's very androgynous too. I like their designs."

- The major: "Augustus Gloop? I like the fact he refused vampirism, that was cool, but he's an actual fucking sociopath and I hate him"

- The Captain: "Ngl, I actually find him quite dope, aside from the nazi thing. Literally no one respected him, that shit had me crying. His face is pretty and his tits are big, even if he looks a bit goofy at times. Wish we'd seen more of him. I felt kinda bad when he got defeated."

- Schrödinger: "I want this thing dead"

- Rip van winkle: "She gives me the vibes of a Dr Seuss character."

- Zorin: "Bleach Ichigo knockoff. Fuck this bitch in particular I hate her"

- The Valentine brothers: "A slav squat necrophile and his gay brother that used to be a runway model but got cancelled after a scandal"

Overall: A hit, neither of us expected her to like it. She likes the political and literary aspects, and also finds the characters interesting. She doesn't really know how to feel about the ending; she considers it realistic and a good end, but she wished it was more epic. But from a writing perspective it's good. Also she lowkey wished Alucard would turn Integra into a vampire, just because it would be cool. Now we send each other memes about it. She calls Nendocard a whore when she passes by him, but says she'd buy a Pip nendo in a heartbeat

Daedalus arc so funny to me. Firstly just the fact it's called daedalus - yeah bro I'm sure you're a genius scientist/inventor about to lose something crucial. Secondly. Imagine you're bored so you and the gang get together to take these three random critters and make them Worse. Worse in your image and the image of your god. Like alright guys have fun !! I'm sure that's a fun way to spend your time as a no longer human fear creature

A/n: I only came up with this list bc I already had Integra’s favorite ice cream flavor canoned in my mind so I figured I make a list lol

Hellsing’s Favorite Ice Cream Flavors

Sir Integra: Mint chocolate chip, with no shame about it

Alucard: Acts like he is too good for ice cream- and sweets in general- but will eat literally any ice cream as long as it isn’t mint, you can not have sweets around him

Seras: Strawberry and she makes sure she gets all the chunks

Walter: Butterscotch (the old man without a doubt carries around the hard candies too)

Pip: Cookie Dough

Penwood: He can’t have ice cream anymore because it drives up his blood sugar 😢

Anderson: Coffee (he without a doubt lives and breaths coffee, if Alucard hadn’t of killed him his caffeine addiction would have)

Maxwell: Pistachio (mother fucking psycho path)

Heinkel: Black Cherry

Yumi: Sweet Mango Mochi

The Major: Vanilla (basic bitch)

Doc: Hot fudge sundaes with all the fixings

Luke: Vanilla (another basic bitch)

Jan: He doesn’t care for ice cream, get him a blue raspberry slushies

The Captain: Chocolate (I am not even going to lie I am only doing this out of irony since dogs aren’t supposed to have chocolate)

Dandy Man: Vanilla Gelato (less of a basic bitch but still basic)

Schrödinger: He doesn’t like ice cream because the first time he had it he ate it too fast and got a brain freeze so now he’s scared of it

Rip: Cheesecake but she adds gummy bears to it

Zorin: Rum Raisin

Bet your ass, it's my beloved, my darling, my Phyllis Rogers Stone from Follies (5*)

God forbid we get a high quality photo of a Phyllis...

Donna Murphy (NYCC Encores!, 2007 - 47) Jan Maxwell (Broadway revival, 2011 - 55) Emily Skinner (St. Louis, 2017 - 47) Christine Baranski (Royal Albert Hall, 2015 - 63) Dee Hoty (Paper Mill Playhouse, 1998 - 46) *Kelli O'Hara (Broadway revival, 2001 - 25)

Was there ever a Phyllis I didn't want to do unspeakable things to? The tall, glamorous, socialite and former Follies girl Phyllis Rogers Stone is my entire type distilled down to a single character. Bitter and dissatisfied with her fracturing marriage, Phyllis delivers one of the most scathing Sondheim arias in his repertoire. "Could I Leave You?" ends on a single word, and each actress has delivered it with her own special zing. Here is a video compilation of many renditions over the years. I had to dig a long time to find this again.

*Kelli O'Hara originated Young Hattie in the 2001 revival, and went on to replace as Young Phyllis during the run.
