Where's Eowyn?
I know there's been discussions similar to this before in regards to the movies, but I'm just wondering, overall, do you think that Eowyn is constantly overlooked when it comes to the media? This was brought up by a recent casting article I read about the LOTR Musical in Toronto. Throughout the article they talk about who is playing what part, and they even mention Eomer and Elrond, but there is no mention of Eowyn! They talk of Arwen, Galadriel, and even Rosie... but where's Eowyn? I don't know if this is just due to the fact that the news reporter overlooked her because she was not played by a "famous" actor in the movies, or if they've actually had the gaul to downsize or even eliminate her role in the musical. I just can't fathom, though, how they could be doing that. I think I may try to write the company in regards to this, because she is too important of a character to be downsized or cut. Do you not agree? Am I the only one who sees the extreme validaty of this character. I'm really starting to worry about this production now.
You could see it with the movies as well. Most promotional stuff did not feature her character at all. It was all about Arwen and Galadriel because of who played them. How can the female with the largest written part in the book be constantly overlooked so much?
