Has anybody seen Alexander Gemignani in the show yet? I’m seeing it next weekend and was curious what people thought about him.

Thank you, GeorgeandDot! You've brought great joy to my needlessly ordered playlist.

I have a dumb, anal retentive question- I like to put my cast albums in chronological order when I put them on my phone, and my understanding is that the bonus track Afifi is used as underscoring at some point during the show. Having not yet seen it, I don't know where it actually falls in the song list. Could someone help a needlessly pedantic guy out and tell me where Afifi should go on a chronological playlist of the show?

The Princess and the Frog Musical Adaptation? Mar 2

"Of course, there would need to be a buttload of additional songs, which should only be written by Menken himself."
Why would Menken write additional songs for something he didn't write in the first place?

I just got my copy today and I've only listened to about a third of it so far, but what I've heard is simply fantastic. You did AMAZING work with this, bk. I'm so glad I bought this.

So out of curiosity, how long is it generally taking people to get it from the date it ships? I just ordered mine yesterday morning so clearly I'm not expecting it right away, but I was just curious about a ballpark figure because I really, REALLY want to listen to this. I haven't even listened to the samples yet just because I want to hear it for the first time on a really nice sound system.

The CD that came with the souvenir program included "Soggy Old Blonds," but disappointingly nothing else.

I never heard a demo, but there's sheet music out there. 'Course I can't read music, so it's all moot to me.

While it's a relatively brief alteration he also doesn't include the brief line of "Poor Thing" that was rewritten for the movie version of "Sweeney."
It was also probably too much to hope, but given the inclusion of the alternate "Now" written for the "A Little Night Music" movie, I'd have liked to seen the abridged "Liaisons" which had a rewritten bridge as well.

I was kicking around ALNM, but Desiree still gets a whole song, part of "Glamorous Life," responses in "You Must Meet My Wife" and probably the best-known song in the show, so I counted her out.
But the Man in the Chair... I didn't think of that. Thanks!

My roommate asked me tonight if there are any musicals where the lead (or one of the leads) either does not sing or rarely sings. The only one I could muster up was "The Magic Show" but something keeps telling me there's at least one more that I'm blanking on. Does anyone else know of any?

Subtext You Didn't Know Was There Oct 25

I can't find the quote now, but I'm like 90% sure that Sondheim said he was unaware of the connection when he wrote the song and that it is a coincidence.

What was wrong with the RENT movie? Jun 9
2011, 08:52:54 PM
"As far as directing goes, I greatly admire Chris Columbus' directing when he's given an original script to work with (ex. Mrs. Doubtfire), but when he's given an adaptation it's generally not anywhere near as good."
"Mrs. Doubtfire" is an adaptation. It was based on a children's book called (I think) "Alias Madame Doubtfire" or something.

Little Shop on Bluray? Apr 20
2011, 05:57:59 PM
I doubt anyone would confuse a Blu-ray of LSOH with any recent movie quality-wise, but it would look better on Blu-ray. It's not going to be pristine and clean, but it's a rare situation where there's no improvement. And this would hardly be the first Warners Blu-ray that would appear this way.
Also, here was the reference from the chat. My memory was playing tricks on me, and there's little more than a non-committal mention:
"We are hopeful we can re-address the LITTLE SHOP is
