LITTLE HOUSE ON THE PRAIRIE with Jenn Gambatese (who was Mary in the Guthrie production). That was such a lovely score, and Jenn Gambatese gave a devastating performance that her replacement on the tour couldn't touch.

I've been surprised at how quickly cast recordings go out of print these days.  It's very sad.  I'm shocked that the physical CD of "The Little Mermaid" is out of print, particularly now that the show is getting major productions (even though it's still awful).   

Personally, I'd see almost any show instead of "Finding Neverland."  I think "Amazing Grace" sounds really interesting (I love historical stuff), so that sounds far more appealing to me.

Does anyone know how to go about finding positions within the offices of Broadway producers?  Would it be stupid for me just to blindly send my resume with a cover letter to some offices?

Definitely ON THE TOWN.

She's a fantastic Glinda and different in many ways from other Glindas I've seen.  If you tweet your question to her, she might respond.

By the way, her husband Kevin Massey is fantastically talented as well.  On Broadway he's mostly done understudying, but I saw him twice in "Little House on the Prairie," and he was excellent.  I hope he gets a role of his own soon!

That's hilarious.  I think the cast member tweeted it as a joke, and I took it seriously.  Sorry, everyone!

It is not uncommon for recording artists to travel to other countries to record albums to save money.  This was clearly not the case here.

I just walk by quickly, speaking the little bit of German I know.  It usually works.  "Es tut mir lied. Ich spreche nur Deutch."

According to one of the actor's tweets, it was at the Bolshoi Theatre in Moscow.  It's a sad state of affairs when it is cheaper (and, in the case, possible) to do a cast recording by flying a large cast and writing team halfway across the world than recording it locally.

Count me in as super excited.  Thank you to everyone involved!

I believe the ballet was cut (it's not on the cast recording).  The ballet is tremendous fun, so it's too bad they cut it.

It's a shame they made any changes. The show as originally written is so charming and just perfect as it is.

I heard it will happen, and I have faith that it will.  It has happened that shows which fail even faster have gotten recorded ("Scandalous" and "Leap of Faith" come to mind). In the press release of its closing, the producers commented on wanting the show to live on. Without a cast album, that is not likely to happen, so they are motivated to make it happen.

I loved this show, and I am still holding onto hope!

That's awesome! I doubt I'll be in the city to see it, but sign me up for another Paul Gordon cast recording.

Schnipper's (on 40th and 8th, I believe . . .  down the block from the Nederlander, whatever street that's on) is a good variation on Shake Shack.  The lines are always too long for me at Shake Shack, and I don't care for the seating options there.  Schnipper's is fantastic. 

I'm so glad you liked it, Pammylicious.  I was so moved, I didn't want to leave the theatre.  I was breathless in a way.  I'm so glad I got to see it before I was swayed by the reviewers.  I wish I could go back just to see it again.

She is such a class act and so generous.  I missed this.  Thank you for sharing.

Hewitt was fantastic in this.  Such an understated, brilliant, natural performance.

What I noticed was that people on ATC said, before the reviews, "Dr. Zhivago was quite good, and it won't last long."  Now that the reviews are out, nobody has any love for it.  I saw it.  I got it.  I loved it! 

I say, Go Go Go Go.  I saw DR. ZHIVAGO before the reviews came out, and I loved it.  It is so moving, epic, and the music is beautiful.
