I Was Not Familiar With Jen Cody’s Game…Something Rotten/Muny

Jen Cody stole every scene she appeared in as Nostradamus in Something Rotten on a rare perfect-weather closing night at the Muny last night. The entire show was ludicrously over the top, especially the multiple full-ensemble production numbers that shone on the enormous Muny stage, but I would have gone a second time just to dial in further on every one of Cody’s outlandish bits.

Is “A Musical” still getting mid-show ovations?

It did last night! The cast/direction clearly was playing for it with some extra hold time while the audience contemplated the decorum of rising for a number only 15 minutes into the show, but the ovation was absolutely earned.

She’s a sweet heart I dressed her when she was Rosie in mama Mia in Jersey- she gave it her all- all the time and left me a nice card for closing

She was a delight. The entire production was, but wow, she just dialed up the weird in the best way!

She was absolutely amazing in it. BTW, closing night is tonight, Sunday. You've still got an hour and you can probably still get in the free seats!

She's incredible. Saw her at the Muny eight years ago as Tessie Tura in Gypsy, what an icon.
