Stage Manager Bryan Bauer Says Typical Recasting Model Doesn't Hold True for Oh, Mary!
Playbill: It's been an exciting few years for Bryan Bauer, the production stage manager for Cole Escola's megahit Broadway comedy Oh, Mary!, which continues to play to sold-out crowds at the Lyceum Theatre.
Bauer has been with the Mary Todd Lincoln-themed farce since its record-breaking, much-extended Off-Broadway bow at the Lucille Lortel Theatre and was an integral part of the transfer uptown, where the cast is currently led by Tony winner Jane Krakowski, Drama Desk nominee Cheyenne Jackson, and Tony nominee John-Andrew Morrison.

I always love when articles pop up from stage managers and I really connected to this one especially because I just finished my first SM assignment. When I am thinking about my strengths and weaknesses I will always think about my people skills being my strength. I do not do pretty paperwork, I am not perfect at calling a show but I am really good at relationships and people. It also happens to be my favorite part about being a stage manager. I agree with this stage manager. I strongly believe that it does not matter if you are good at the hard skills if you are bad at the soft skills. As a stage manager you must be able to work with people well and I think that once you develop strong skills to do it the hard skills come along with it. I will always prioritize my relationships with people over everything else because I think it is so special.
