I love Memphis, I really do. That show has a special place in my heart. But if it's nominated for (or wins, although I don't see that happening) for best book, I will truly be baffled. Just... no. If anything, I think the show deserves best choreography, and I think Chad Kimball absolutely deserves a nom for best actor. I'm going to be really annoyed if John Gallagher beats him out for essentially being angsty for 1.5 hours.

"Love Will Stand When All Else Falls" from Memphis and "Hot Toxic Love" from Toxic Avenger sound completely identical at times. Both are David Bryan and Joe DiPietro, but this is actually ridiculous.

I'm hoping someone can help me out- I saw Memphis with my friend last Sunday (we've been to the show before). The other times we've rushed we've gotten front row no problem, but this time we arrived at 12:30 (a half hour after the box office opens) and got the last row of the mezz. If anyone has rushed since Sunday, or plans on it, could you let me know if they've changed the rush policy to the mezz instead of front row? I hope not, I really enjoy sitting there.

Bumping this thread to request that someone kindly points me in the right direction of the studio/demo recording of this show? I'm doing a big presentation on it in my college seminar (which happens to be Lolita and American Culture) and I would greatly appreciate having this recording. Thank you so much in advance to anyone who helps me out.

It's probably not a good sign that I had to go back 6 pages to find this thread, but:
I asked if anyone was interested in a Sept. 6 ticket a while back- no one answered, but because of the storm Signature let me exchange my ticket for a later date. SO- if anyone is interested in a ticket for Sept. 28 at 8pm (the final performance) please PM me. And if you hear of anyone who would like to see the show, direct them to me! Slightly deperate over here in case you didn't notice.

I'm selling an Ace ticket for Sept. 6 at 2pm, row B off to the side (but only a little bit). I'm DESPERATE- I bought it for $69 but I'll negotiate a lower price if anyone's interested because I really just need to get rid of it and gain some sort of profit in return. I was so excited to see the show but I can't go anymore, and I'd rather not be out $70 AND not be able to see the show. This is just depressing. So please, if anyone's interested, PM me. And for those living outside of DC- USE MEGAB

I actually got that from Brian Stokes Mitchell; I went to a concert of his in February and that was how he introduced the song. Beautiful.

Jenn has a GORGEOUS voice, but I agree about some of her line deliveries. Sometimes I'm very impressed with her and other times I find her to be a little repetitive and angry. One of the times I like her is when she's backstage at her concert waiting for her parents to come and she turns her back to Henry and puts her face in her hands, and when she turns back around and belts "SHE'S NOT THEEEERE" you can see she's crying and completely disheveled looking. It's very effective.

Brian Stokes Mitchell- omg what a sweetie, I met him at the flea market and he ended up having a conversation with me about what I wanted to major in in college and what I wanted to do after college... so sweet, ahaha!
Someone mentioned her sarcastically earlier in the thread, but...
Charlotte D'Amboise- I personally had a great experience with her. It was raining and I looked like a wet rat and she came out and signed for everyone and goes "oh, your hair looks so nice! You're

Hey guys (and for everyone who goes tonight as well)... can I be annoying and ask you to elaborate on Emily's performance? I wanted to go solely to see her, but it didn't work out, and I'm really curious. I'd love details :) Thanks

I searched for a thread like this and didn't find one, sorry if I'm missing something...
Is anyone going to this tomorrow/Wednesday? I figured this could be a thread for everyone's reviews of the show. I regret not being able to go, but I'd love to hear what everyone thinks!

Now, see, I heard that once again she was booted from On the Record because of her weight. I don't know the truth to any of these rumors, but I wouldn't be surprised. What kills me is that I read an absolute RAVE review of her in On the Record, they were completely enchanted by her. So what the hell happened? Ugh.

From what I've heard (and I hope I'm wrong), apparently Emily wasn't chosen because of her weight? Which absolutely pisses me off, because she would have totally blown that role out of the water (EW no pun intended). She'd work if they wanted Ursula to be more voluptuous, and she'd also work if they wanted a sexier Ursula, because... hi, she's totally hot.

First, these are all great. Second... I know you didn't mean to, but the person who posted the moment about Spring Awakening just gave away a huge spoiler that I wasn't aware of. You might want to be more careful about that.
