kwnyc May 29, 2018 Author Share May 29, 2018 Not quite O/T, but I had a conversation with someone at the theater festival I was at recently (which is why I missed the last 2 episodes when they were originally broadcast), and they knew Bebe Neuwirth, and we were talking about Madam Secretary, and they said: the thing about Bebe is that she puts EVERYTHING into her job. So when she's on a series, she is completely exhausted by the second or third season. So I wonder whether she came into it with the idea that she would have an exit arc built in if the show was a long-running one. The way they let her go, which leaves open the idea of guest appearances, says that they parted on good terms.

aupaircj January 6, 2019 Share January 6, 2019 As someone who just recently started watching the show, I feel like this has probably been mentioned but since I'm not seeing it, Sara Ramierz originated the role of Lady Of The Lake in Monty Python's "Spamalot" on Broadway, for which she won a Tony. Such an absolutely amazing voice and incredible belt. If you've never heard it, "Diva's Lament" from the original cast album is worth a listen.
