No doesn't Theo sing "Corner Of The Sky" than everyone is like "Join ussssssssss!"
Yes, Theo does sing "Corner of the Sky" a capella, at the very end of the show.
And if I recall correctly, after the verse, "Magic to Do" begins to play and he is led off with The Leading Player.
Ah, from wikipedia:
"Alternate Ending: The currently licensed edition of Pippin has a slightly different ending. After Pippin avers his contentment with a simple life with Cat

Julie Andrew's book signing Apr 3
2008, 02:25:13 PM
I was there -- didn't get my booked signed, got there after they ran out of wristbands, but I did hear her speak.
What truly annoys me is that the employees were saying that she would not be speaking, yet they had prepared four questions for her to answer. I assume they were lying to get a lot of people out of the store.
The woman who asked the questions looked my friend right in the eye saying she was just going to come on stage and sign books. That was all.

Unfortunately for Brabra Walsh, whom I thought was excellent, she is playign the role originated by Elaine Stritch, and that is a tough comparison.
When Stritch got to "Everybody rise", half the house did!
I feel like I need to address this. Joanne wasn't only originated by Elaine Stritch, she was BASED on her as well. So, I mean, it would be hard for Barbra Walsh to "beat" (wrong term, but whatever) a woman who is playing a role based on herself. (Which

as long as he sings "music of the night" like he did on Letterman a few years back, I'm there!
"I'm really lonely. I'd love to have a girlfriend. Something happened to my face...that's why I wear a scary mask..."
I'm there if he does anything. I would love for him to rap again. Loved his SNL Devil scene with Garth Brooks.

-Pirelli was a hoot! I was afraid of it being overly cartoonish, but it was great, especially Toby being afraid of the razor when holding the strop!
He wasn't just afraid of the razor -- notice the bandages and blood on his hands? The razor was cutting him every time Pirelli was sharpening it.

And might I just add that I was surprised that By The Sea made it into the film not only at all, but that it is one of the most delightful scenes in the film.
I really wasn't prepared for that at all. It was fantastic.
Seriously, when my friends and I got out of the theater, we said that we could watch that scene again at that very moment.

From the site: "Extensive, painstaking research by British author Peter Haining has shown this without a doubt. "
Okay, now wait. From what I have read, Haining tended NOT to give proper sources for his book, and none of it is taken as proven fact.
This is the probably the most accurate actual newspaper article:
December 1784, in the Annual Register. The newspaper entry read:

Last time I was at that theatre (for the RENT tour, actually), I had drunk men asking me if I wanted to go to a bar with them.
Ahh, the memories.
It's a larger venue than what I would expected him to play at.

I'm not sure if there were a few empty seats or not, but it look as if it was almost full.
It was a full-on rehearsal. There were entrances/exits, but no costume changes (unless you consider coats and hats costumes).

Some of them need to work on their accents, but I think that will come with time.
Oh, the accent.
Overall, I throughly enjoy the play. There were definitely times where I would be surprised and confused. The "eh?" moments, if you so please -- but I think those add to the dysfunction of the family. As someone...wise once said (paraphrase) "You can intellectually analyze this play until you turn purple." (Or something like that, hehe)
