Did anyone else just not like Meg? I didn't like her look, or her voice, or really her acting. I don't know why, it just didn't sit right with me. There were a few moments where I almost liked her, like when she sang 'distant' in Angel of Music, but that was just for like a split second, then I couldnt stand her again.
shareI don't have anything against Daisy Maywood, or her performance, but I think Meg is just such a pointless character. What does she bring to the show that wouldn't be missed if it was cut? The only thing I can think of is the closing scene where she finds the mask, which I think would be a bit more poignant if Madame Giry finds it.
Look, I'm sorry I called you an inanimate object earlier. I was angry.
I was okay with her voice and her acting. My main issue was with her look. I don't know how old Daisy is, but for some reason in this it felt like she was too old for the part. I don't know if it was the makeup combined with the closeup work of the camera's for filming or if she was just really tired due to the hectic rehearsal schedule and what not, but she looked like she had some bags under her eyes and it was a little off-putting to me (Meg to me has always been this young (well, younger than Christine) fresh-faced innocent girl)
Just my opinion though

I agree. I was disappointed in her more than anyone else in the production. No offense to the actress... but she looked like a tiny old lady running around, impersonating a child. Hers was the most exaggerated/goofy acting I thought. Thankfully it's such a small part.
shareThey made her too loud just like what she will become in "Love Never Dies"!
shareOh my god don't even get me started on the Meg from Love Never Dies, I mean really?! REALLY?!
shareExactly! The actress who played this Meg went for that direction! :( No innocence in her voice!
shareI prefer the MEg from the movie.
shareMaybe they took their cue from Family Guy-- nobody likes Meg!

Yes, this is one aspect where I am SURE I prefer the movie. Jennifer Ellison had such a sweet voice and looks. I loved her in the first performance of Angel of Music. So innocent (at least until they put her in that ridiculously low cut dress for Masquerade).
