I saw the show on Tuesday night and let's just say I was very disappointed with the production as a whole. It's one of those things where CLO either really gets it or really misses it and this was a total miss and really a total MESS.
This show should never, EVER be put up in six days and then only have six days to run it. It was a technical mess whenever I saw it on Tuesday. I really wanted to cut it some slack because I did see it on opening night but this isn't the first time I'

"Why bring back a piece of dreck like "Copacabana"? "
I can only imagine that the audience voted for that whenever CLO does audience favorites the summer before. As someone who votes for Follies, Sunday and Into The Woods every year, I can at least know that one of my choices made it through.
I am very excited to see this production of Into The Woods. I think that Jen Cody will be fantastic and I'm sure Beth Leavel is going to be incredible, as is Hunter Foster. It's very ex

Just got back from seeing the show tonight. Overall, I thought the production was stunning. It was one of the best CLO shows that I have ever seen. The set was marvelous, the lighting was beautiful and the performances were wonderful. They were having a bit of a sound problem tonight but it only showed up in a couple places so it really didn't bother me too much.
Max von Essen was a wonderful Tony. Vocally, his voice soared with the score and I never wanted him to stop singing. I

I saw the ensemble of West Side Story rock it out tonight at the Pittsburgh CLO Cabaret. I was at a performance of Shear Madness tonight (I have my tickets for West Side on Saturday) and the ensemble was fantastic! They work so hard all summer and it's nice to see them have a chance to shine. From the looks of it all the cast members were in the house and the place was PACKED! I've never seen the cabaret theatre so crowded before. Once I see the show on Saturday night I'll post of review.

Does anyone think she's getting more credit because she's worked with Jerry Mitchell and Paul Canaan before? It's just a thought.
In any case, I like Autumn and Bailey the best, with Autumn hopefully winning.

Jennifer Cody was the sweetest thing ever.

And in the lesser known category; Kevin Crewell, Timothy Britten Parker and Justin Patterson.

"I personally believe Patti LuPone and Betty Buckley could live a wonderful existence, "committed" in Vermont with little Susie and Chuck from Japan."
Oh my god, that totally just made my day. And I don't know what your deal with Vermont is but nonetheless you make me laugh.

I agree with you on Ben Eakeley, he was so sexy. Haha.
The only problem I found in Hess' performance was his need to be in constant motion. It seemed like he never could stay still for more than two seconds and it became very distracting.
Lauren Molina's Johanna is brilliant. I also found myself glancing her way throughout the show.

Max totally missed the point of the show. I'm in a production right now and I know we're playing up the camp like you wouldn't believe. I don't think you could do a production of Grease seriously. It's just not one of those shows.

Honestly, I don't find anything wrong with it. I actually would do the same thing Patti did if the occasion ever came up. I actually had a discussion with my mother at work about this and she feels the same way. Maybe we're just bitches. I don't know.
