Oh wow. My three: Patti LuPone in Sweeney, Donna McKechnie in A Chorus Line and Victoria Clark in Light in the Piazza
Those are really not definite though because many of these ladies really deserved their Tony!

Rest and mark through some rehearsals!! That's so important if the director doesn't mind.

re: Barbara or Kristin? Oct 14

I love both. I think Kristin has just benefitted more from the newer vocal techniques. She IS more versatile than Barbara Cook, but back in the day, Cook was the one. You're trying to compare two different generations and two different levels of techniques being taught, which is pretty impossible.

And we musn't overlook the great Ethel Merman. She is dated now, but she was a powerhouse. Not an actress, a total diva, but she could pack them in. Two years of Gypsy and that's a fact. = )

True Munkustrap it would be like a sequel to A Chorus Line, though the idea is interesting.

re: WHAT WOULD BE A GOOD COLLEDGE FOR MUSICAL THEATRE?¿? Oct 1

I would really check the student board for this type of stuff; people will yell. But, Tisch has a great program; I just started there this fall. It's very intense but definitely worth it. Tisch divides their drama dept. up into studios. The musical theater studio is called CAP21. You should check out the Tisch and CAP21's websites for more info. Auditions are usually held from November to Febuary. Break a leg!

Haha. My old physics teacher could be Michael Cerveris's brother.... probably because they both have shaved heads.

When I did the show, we did it so just the Emcee was left onstage in a trenchcoat. He did the "auf wiedersehn..." and as the drumroll went, he unbuttoned his coat. On the symbol crash, he threw his coat off revealing a concentration camp suit and two huge Nazi flags flew down from the flies. It was pretty powerful.
When I saw the revival, it was very similar minus the flags. But they did have almost blinding lights on the crash.

Hmmm...
Idina Menzel drives me nuts.
As does Sarah Brightman and Michael Crawford.
I had to sit through a Michael Crawford concert last year because I was ushering. It was the worst thing I have ever been to. For his encore (I hate that Dallas gave him one), he did "A Piece of Sky"...from Yentl. OH God.
