"It's a Privilege to Pee" from Urinetown...although that doesn't necessarily apply to politics of the present in our country (the election, specifically). Hmm...or maybe it does.

bwayfan, I get the humor...but there was a HUGE political emphasis on Broadway following the events of 9/11. If nothing else does, that refutes your indirect claim that Broadway is unaffected by politics.
As related to the current goings-on, I have no idea.

LePetiteFromage, that's exactly what my brother said. I woke up this morning and said to him, "Wow, RENT is closed." And he said, "Only on Broadway!" all cheery. Made me smile a bit.

Mimi lives.
I've always thought that was the cheesiest part of the show, but what is one to do?

The Producers.
I loathed it and nearly fell asleep...which is something I cannot say for myself as an audience member in any other theater.

I agree that Natalie Weiss does some impressive stuff, but my friend plays her stuff all the time (on his laptop at lunch and dinner and whenever else)...and I gotta say, I've gotten a little sick of it. But...she's good, yes.

SO excited for Adam to take over as Mark.
Along with typecastme22, I saw him in a few things here at NU before he was offered the role and left for NYC a bit ago. He's absolutely phenomenal.

Even if the jokes were to go over his head, it's a fun show. Granted, the people over whose heads the jokes go who still enjoy the show (who I've seen) are mostly ten-year-olds. But...that's close to teenaged! Right?
It's a fun show for all ages, in my opinion.

Dramamama, since I'm a dorkface and check the Broadway Grosses every week...it hasn't even been steadily improving. The "marginally better" thing is still a hit-and-miss deal, just like with most other shows currently running.

Does the blank post represent your ambiguous feelings about the show, or did you just forget to write something?
If it's the former, great symbolism. =P

I LOVED them in the touring cast. They were wonderful, but I thought the ensemble was a bit lackluster.

re: If you could see any show on Broadway right now... Feb 2

I would definitely see August: Osage County. I fell in love with it from the moment the set designer spoke about at NU. It seemed awesome...and THEN I've heard nothing about amazing things about it. REALLY want to see it.

Ah! Zonya was in "Children of Eden" in my hometown when the local theater did it for its annual summerstage. She is so sweet and OS talented. My mom, brother, and I are flying to NYC to see her in TCP. I'm glad to hear that she's wonderful!
(She was Eve in "Children of Eden"...of course.)
