Trying to plan stage dooring strategy for Chess at Kennedy Ctr. One person told me "You never know where they'll come out." Another person told me "It's outside to the left and they'll come out." Any advice? Would love to compliment the cast after the show.

Paolo Szot in South Pacific

I know that Paolo is leaving South Pacific in November. Does anyone know if someone has been chosen yet to do the role? Any speculations? I haven't seen the required casting notice yet, but then again, I did skip checking the Equity auditions for a couple of weeks this summer (bad me).

re: Pierce Brosnan in Mama Mia Movie

Anyone who thinks he was off-pitch can't hear and is looking for mistakes. He was totally on pitch. At any rate, I started this thread and I have to tell you, it's great to debate. That's what it's all about, isn't it? (I was very surprised to learn that Christopher Plummer was dubbed, because his singing sounds very much like his speaking voice, as opposed to Audrey Hepburn/Marni Nixon.) As far as musicals go, there will never be a right answer to all of this. Can you imagine if someone h

Pierce Brosnan in Mama Mia Movie

I would just like to say a word in defense of Pierce Brosnan's work in the Mama Mia movie. He's received a lot of negative criticism for his raspy singing voice. Critics have been mentioning that moviegoers are laughing when he starts to sing. First of all, he's not a singer...He's an actor who sings. He is on pitch. His voice is no worse than Eric Clapton's, who is one of music's biggest stars. I think he does a great job in that movie. I also wonder whether moviegoers are actually laugh

With all due respect to "Spamalot," which has had a great run, I would hope Gary Beach could do better when he gets back to Broadway. He deserves a lead in an original musical, not something that will be ready to close in 6 months. I'm not counting "La Cage...," in which he was fantastic. It was a revival caught in the middle of all sorts of production politics. It's time that Gary, one of Broadway's most talented artists and a true gentleman, is recognized in a BIG way. I don't even think he

Let's all agree to go to a show alone on the same day, and then meet at a bar afterward. Then we can guess who we are. I'll bring my wand.

I have no problem going to the theatre alone. However, I prefer to go with someone because the experience isn't complete unless dinner & discussion take place. Of course, you can always go hang out at a theatre bar, but that's not so great alone either.

I assume you want to see a video of a Broadway show. The last time I did this (a couple of years ago), the Library told me that I needed a valid reason to view the video, and a union card helps (but I don't think it's essential). Just say you're mounting a production of it somewhere and it'll be fine. In some cases, you need permission from someone to view it. I had problems because I wanted to see a Neil Simon show on tape, and they ask you to get permission from his representative.

It must be difficult to turn down an offer to come back to a show when you're between jobs. After all, we have to put food on the table, don't we?

URGENT!!!!!!!

I was in the mezzanine/balcony for another show at that theatre. This is an old theatre, and (in spite of it being re-built) it has the tiniest seats with the smallest spaces between rows of any theatre. Also, the seats were not built so that you could see in-between heads in front of you. Very poorly built. If I were you, I'd try to sit in the orchestra on an aisle seat. It's torture to pay good money and then (1) not be able to see and (2) be uncomfortable.
