re: Reba's wonderful!

I thought Reba did well, though at first her "accent" took some getting used to. I only watched bits and pieces of it (will watch it in full later) but I really enjoyed Jason Danieley and Brian Stokes Mitchell's performance...and there was just something about Alec Baldwin in a grass skirt that amused me  All around a great concert, one that really peaked my interest in this musical!

The Full Monty: "Jeanette's Showbiz Number," when one of the guys tries to do a "wall flip." Especially when listening to it on separate speakers or headphones (you can almost imagine him attempting it as the sound of his feet travels from one speaker to the other. Very funny)
Little Women: "Take A Chance On Me," when Laurie is asking to see the patch on Jo's dress. I can almost imagine Laurie trying to see her dress, and Jo moving away from him, preventing him from seeing the patch. :)

re: Sally opposite John Stamos' Emcee?

I believe I saw Heather Laws as Sally opposite John Stamos. I enjoyed his Emcee as well. I went in thinking he wasn't going to be very good, but I was surprised. He handled the character well.

I also would encourage people to see this tour. I saw it last spring, and the ensemble (as well as the show itself) was incredible! Also, the cast was very nice, they kindly obliged me at stage door--Holly Cruikshank in particular! Very moving, incredible dancing, simply put: wonderful cast and a great show :)

Something interesting, though...if you look at the CD Universe site, it lists "Original Broadway Cast" *hits forehead with palm*

Thanks for the link. Did I hear that April's been changed to December? I definitely didn't hear April named in "Light My Candle." Anyone else hear this change?

I wasn't able to see it, and I can't figure out for the life of me how I heard the CD, but I am so glad that I did. A beautiful and heartfelt score...and the "drinking song" is a great laugh, as well

I've heard both--I checked the OCR out of the library, and own the Revival--and I think that both casts have fabulous performances to boast about. They're both great CD's. I personally LOVE "Unworthy of Your Love"; listened to it a bit on the OCR and skipped it, but it's a favorite on the Revival cast recording.

re: Cast Recordings You HATE
Jan 22
2006, 01:36:15 AM
I also don't buy CD's of shows I hate, but there are shows that I don't listen to very often (though I enjoyed them enough to buy the cast recording in the first place), like AIDA, Saturday Night, The Producers, Urinetown. It's not that I don't like them, its just that each show and each cast of a show has a certain flavor and style that is unique to their production, and a lot of times I'm not in the mood to listen to that particular flavor of music.

I watched it, and as I said to a friend of mine earlier, I wasn't expecting for a Bernadette to come flouncing through singing "Everything's Comin' Up Roses" (or an Ethel Merman for that matter) but I thought it was enjoyable to watch. When I did a production of Guys and Dolls, we had football players come in for the Havana scene, so the plotline isn't so far-fetched. I wouldn't get the CD, but I enjoyed it.

I think Hairspray and Thoroughly Modern Millie are the most fitting for a show. I agree that The Producers would be too risque--When You Got It, Flaunt It, for example.

Okay, yes, it's been awhile since I've posted and been up on Broadway/Broadway movie news, but I had no idea that Anika Noni Rose would be in this film! I'm intrigued. It'll be interesting to see how this one will pan out.
