Profile for TBone

The recording sounds great, but I had hoped that this would have been recorded live to capture some (more) of the energy. The music was absolutely electric live. 

I've been looking forward to this one and it doesn't disappoint. The album is delightful and Jasmine sounds absolutely gorgeous.

I’d much rather have Jasmine/Boop perform than Hamilton.  
 

oh well. 

I thought Caissie Levy's costume was pretty awful too.

:: fingers crossed ::

Is there any news on a cast recording?

Scarlett Strallen has joined the cast, but does not appear to be replacing anyone. Does anyone know if she'll be a principal or one of the u/s? I saw the show this weekend, and while I wasn't head-over-heels for it, She just may get me to see it again! 

Update: She’s filling in for Kate Jennings Grant who will be out due to an injury. 

My seats for Last Five Years was Dress Circle Row C, seats 5 and 7. 

I've mostly been a lurker, but my goodness the amount of time I've spent on this board since I joined. I was just thinking the other day about some of the posters who no longer post here. This can be a wild place, but after almost 22 years, I can't imagine life without it.

Thank you so much for finding and sharing that. 

 

I saw a post on social media that mentioned Merle Louise passed away earlier this week, though I haven’t heard or read anything else about it anywhere online.  Is this true? I’ll be terribly sad if it is. 

I was never fortunate enough to see her perform live, but I was always delighted to hear her voice on cast recordings when listening to them for the first time. 
  

If no one on the board is able to help you out, the playbill store has a poster of all four covers in the the whole collection for sale.

You could also keep an eye on eBay?

I had her in my mind the entire time I was watching the show back in April!

She'd get me back to show in a heartbeat!

Thank you - that makes sense. They definitely each felt like an “I’m out” moment, but for some reason in the moment it wasn’t obvious to me.

I saw the show for the first time this week; Can I ask what moment you're referring to?

Our Once Upon a Mattress seats for Saturday night were center orchestra row S.

I'm very happy to read these thoughts; Seeing the show this evening and very much looking forward to it!

I saw the matinee last Sunday (5/5) and Adam was in.
