Financially, I can't afford to be a seat snob
I'd rather see all the shows I can at a price I can afford than see one or two I may or may not like at a price that puts me in debt
It's not just not worth it

re: Idol: The Musical Replaces Entire Cast Prior to Opening Aug 4
2007, 11:33:11 AM
It's certainly unusual. I mean, I've heard of people being replaced during rehearsals, out-of-town and previews, but never of an entire cast let go just prior to opening.

Zanna Don't is one of my all time favourite shows
It's one of the first cast recordings I pump up whenever I feel blue. It just instantly puts a smile on my face

re: How much longer do you think SPELLING BEE will last? Jul 11
2007, 11:20:18 PM
I'm at Circle in the Square's summer program and we were told by Ted Mann that Bee would probably close in Decemeber
I like the current cast a lot. I think they are much more consistent at embodying the kids rather than "acting" like kids than even certain members of the original cast were
The sincerity and heart of the show are still there. The show will most likely become very popular regionally, in colleges and high schools. What ever happens, it's had a wonderful run and su

re: Show with Most Injuries to a Cast Feb 19
2007, 04:42:04 PM
I think there's a story in Making in on Bway about Rebecca Luker impaling her calf during POTO on one of the spikes during "Stranger Than You Dreamt"
I do know that Gary Beach caught on fire at least once during B&TB
However, if you were somehow able to gather up every cast member, I would definately think Cats probably has the most injuries

I LOVED this movie as a kid! The only copy of it I have is a VHS of it that I taped off the Disney Channel way back when
It had some GREAT songs

re: Ambrose Kemper in Hello, Dolly Feb 18
2007, 11:14:28 AM
He's pretty much your typical juvenille lead boy in "Hello, Dolly!"
He's in love with Ermengraude, Vandergelder's niece, and enlists Dolly to help them get together. Typically, he and Ermengraude are cast as dancers as their big standout section is usually in Harmonia Gardens when they're trying to avoid being seen by Vandergelder during a polka.

Changes to INTO THE WOODS for the 2002 Revival Feb 16
2007, 10:28:44 PM
There was some slight book change too
After the Wife said "Will only a giant's footstep stop your arguing" the Baker said something along the lines of "I'm the man and you will obey me" to which he leaves her with the baby. Little Red and the Wife then had a brief discussion about why "grown-ups" fight and then the Wife goes out on her own to search for Jack
Also, the Witch's staff deflated instead of breaking in half. She then handed it off to the narrator and the staging made

The erie thing for me that week was that I was just in New York not a month before and even visited the towers and got TKTS tickets from there. I remember we saw the Producers, 42nd Street, The Music Man, Les Miz and Chicago with Jennifer Holliday
Scarier still was that my mother, who's a flight attendent, was supposed to be working that day when she got a phone call from my grandfather to turn on the news
I do remember that "New York, New York" commercial though. I cry every t

re: The Line: Casting Choices (within the show) Feb 10

Mercades, I guess that answer would make sense for most of the dancers, but what about Richie who comes out and says "There's no security" and "no work anymore?" and "the only chorus line you can depend on is the one at unemployment" or on the opposite end with Maggie who says "I can't think of anything else I'd do"

Something funny and upbeat from the more traditional cannon
That character is all about being a comic foil to Gaston
Best of luck!
