re: The Search for Elle THOUGHTS!

Haylie Duff's "executive producer" credit doesn't mean anything. I'm sure it's something her agent asked for to sweeten the deal. It's still ridiculous that's she's the host.
Rooting for Celina even though she's not quite right for the role, with her husky speaking voice. I've known Celina since she was 13, so I lost it when she said, "They used to call me trouble in high school. I made out with everyone... EVERYONE." Because... yeah, she made out with me once.

re: hairspray - Happy Trails Paul and Dowd. Welcome George and Marissa.

Marissa Perry is awesome - I saw her Tracy twice this summer at Weston, where I was working on another show. That promo video was taken at the final dress (also the first dress), when the cast was worn out from many, many hours of tech rehearsal. The choreography looked much better onstage than in the video, and yes, Marissa can sing the ever-livin' heck out of the role...

re: Mr. Broadway 2007

I suppose I could be wrong, but has there EVER been a telecast of a Broadway-related benefit? And if there was some sort of broadcast involved, it would have been mentioned in the press releases - not to mention plugged here by the marvelous producing team (most of whom I know, full disclosure). Of course, we'll hopefully see footage from the usual suspects - BWW TV, Broadway.com, etc.
(Remember too, the theatrical unions would have to get involved if there were a broadcast, and make the whole thing much more expensive. That's one reason why there are so few PBS and other national theater telecasts. Not that I don't love and appreciate my union!)
Oh, to answer the other question, they announced the contestants a few days ago:

re: Kathy Griffin as ANNE OF GREEN GABLES??!!!

Wow... not a flattering wig. The actress's name is named Piper Goodeve, and I can personally attest that she's fierce. And much better looking that than eerie green publicity photo!
Now you can commence making fun of the name "Piper Goodeve". Don't worry, she's heard it all.
By the way, I didn't know Gretchen Cryer and Nancy Ford wrote that American Girls show. Thanks, TheaterWorks marketers!

re: Evil Dead - Next Block of Tickets
Jan 12
2007, 03:18:59 PM
It's my understanding that tickets aren't being released in blocks for EVIL DEAD, but week-by-week so that only two months of advance tickets are available. So today you can buy tickets through March 10, next week March 17 should be on sale, and hopefully you can snag great seats when your trip is 8 weeks away. Thanks in advance for helping to keep me employed!

re: Any chance the Evil Dead musical will extend?

Raunchy? What would give you that idea? There are songs called "What The f**k Was That?" and "God Damn You Woman", at least 100 profanities in 100 minutes. However, I'd say the sexual content is merely PG-13 - blowjob jokes and some scanty clothing. Plus the blood and gore. Don't know if it's quite appropriate for a 10-year-old...

EVIL DEAD is an open-ended run, so if it sells a decent amount of tickets, it will hopefully run through December and into 2007. I know I could certainly use the paychecks. Buy your tickets! [/shill]

re: If you missed the Drama Desk Awards

Jamie Parker's moment was cut, unfortunately. They had almost three hours of show to sqeeze down to two for broadcast, and they didn't cut any of the musical numbers!
Corine could have also mentioned that the Drama Desks also air this Thursday night, 10pm-12am on Ch. 25. And if you're not in NY, check your local PBS listings, as dozens of stations nationwide will be airing it over the next couple weeks.

re: 'Jacques Brel' Off-Broadway revival recording?
May 16
2006, 06:06:31 PM
Last I heard - from someone who would know - it is on track, but they haven't set a date. It could still fall through (money being the obvious issue I guess), but if the show continues to sell well and run through the summer as expected, we'll get a CD (or 2)!
I don't think signing up will make a difference - everyone wants to make the recording, they don't need X people to ask for it. The names are a list of people to market it to once it's made...

I would love to see him a[s] Tulsa in Gypsy
I saw Barrett 22 times as Tulsa - he did the role at the Weston Playhouse right before he made his Broadway debut in Mamma Mia.

Thank you for reporting this - it's not fair to anybody when someone tries to pull such a stunt. Not fair to the millions of other teen girls who want to play Elphaba, not fair to the authors and producers who deserve their royalties (even though they're earning more than they ever could have expected, in this case), and not fair to the students at this particular school, who are expecting to do "Wicked," and are without a doubt going to be 'cease and desist'ed from doing and so.

Julia Murney's song (I wasn't there, but I know the piece well) is called "It's Amazing the Things That Float" from THE FLOOD, by Peter Mills. It's from the second act, when the character Susan returns to her flooded home to find everything washed away. (But she's happy to have a fresh start... the show is based on a real Illinois town that was washed away in the 1993 Mississippi River floods.)
The sheet music and a sound clip are up on Pete Mills' site:

Oh, I'm a huge Logan fan. We worked together for three summers at the Weston Playhouse. Fansite Person, I have plenty of candid and performance shots from those summers on my computer somewhere - if you email me (not PM) I'll find some and send them along. (It'll probably take a couple of weeks...)

Sorry to bump, I just caught up. Guess the discussion's over for now...
shortydudette, you absolutely made your point, and I'll buy you that burger anytime if Marc doesn't. :) As I discovered early in the thread, when he can't win an argument, he'll drop it and change the subject (perhaps posting something else cool to distract us!) It's too bad he won't "condescend" to have a real conversation about this - not that I blame him.
And thank you Mr. S, because this:
