"You were dead, you know" is, in my opinion one of the funniest songs in CANDIDE.

Wait, now I'm pretentious? Buddy, you don't know me and I sure as hell don't know you, but I was just saying Sondheim doesn't seem very pretentious when he lists two comedies rife with dick and fart jokes as his favorite movies.

" I think Stephen Sondheim is pretentious "
Really, the guy who has said at different times that SOUTH PARK: BIGGER, LONGER, AND UNCUT as well as TEAM AMERICA: WORLD POLICE were his favorite films, is pretentious?
Anyways, here's some opinions:
-I hate RENT
-I loathe AVENUE Q
-I loved BOUNCE (The whole production)
-Peter Sellars, Robert Wilson, and Anne Bogart are the best directors working today.
-I hated ROAD SHOW
-I think David Mamet still has one mor

Roles they DIDN'T get.... Jan 6
2013, 02:38:21 AM
Kevin Spacey was originally going to play Mackie The Knife in THREEPENNY '06 as well as
Edie Falco as Mrs. Peachum and Wallace Shawn (who also did the horrendous translation!) as Mr. Peachum before Ana Gasteyer and Jim Dale filled those roles.

Leo Burmester in Les Mis Jan 2
2013, 02:44:53 PM
I was not alive when he played Thenardier on Broadway, so all I have to go by for performance is the OBC and The Tony Performance (which is not much!) The point being I thought he came across as cartoony, he was a bad singer, and I wanted to know why Alun Armstrong wasn't brought over to Broadway!

Happiest Finales? Jan 1
2013, 03:58:10 PM
LuminousBeing, I don't see how "Make Our Garden Grow" is a happy ending. I think it's more of a depressing but truthful realisation that nothing is for the best. I cry every time i hear it.

Mahagonny in 1970 Nov 5
2012, 10:05:18 PM
read an old "Talk of the Town article from New York Magazine saying there was a production of Brecht and Weill's Mahagonny Off Broadway in 1970 and wanted to know if anybody here saw this [at least to me] mythical production or had any info.

LoveMusik thoughts? Sep 26
2012, 06:54:33 AM
It irked me when the set designer incorrectly said the scene that includes "Alabama Song" is Lenya auditioning for THREEPENNY, when any Brecht/Weill enthusiast knows that it was for MAHAGONNY SONGSPIEL.

That musical that you love so much but can't listen to often cause it makes you way to sad. Sep 6
2012, 10:13:53 PM
Merrily We Roll Along, especially the OBC. As soon as "Our Time" gets to "This is where we began being what we can," I tear up more than I did when a door slammed on my finger at five years old.

Threepenny with Marionettes?! Sep 6
2012, 10:05:05 PM
I was cruising Playbillvault.com and came across a program for "The Stockholm Marionette Theater of Fantasy's Threepenny Opera". Anyone know what that's about? I looked on the official Threepenny website and there's nothing on it.

I cry a river of tears when I listen to Merrily We Roll Along. ESPECIALLY when they sing "...being what we can..." during Our Time.
