Megan Hilty is at the top of her game, giving her all to this role. She's a talented performer and, in my opinion, perfectly suited to the role of Madeline. - Jennifer Simard as Helen was a wonderful foil to Hilty's Madeline. Madeline is very over-the-top, and Helen, at least for the first half, is a poised and boring woman. Personally, I preferred Jennifer's voice to Megan's, even though both were excellent. I felt Jennifer articulated better. This was my first time seeing her in a production, and I was amazed. - The scene where Madeline gets pushed down the stairs is so cleverly done. I'm not sure if Megan Hilty had a stunt double for that scene, but it looked like she did it to me. If anyone knows more about the technical aspects of this part, I'd be interested in learning more. I don't have any photos because they were prohibited.
