High Fidelity-Although I didn't see this show as I was working out of town the week it was up..I loved the book, the movie, and the OCR sooo I refuse to think it wasn't good.

Saw the show tonight 10/25 won the lottery. I have to agree with all of you...I thought the show on a whole is forgetable. There are good moments, funny jokes, a good song or two, but they are so spread out in the show that the show on a whole falls flat.
Roger Barts understudy is fine...but there isn't much of a part, his songs are dumb and not needed.
Sutton is great as usually her Roll in the Hay number is funny.. but she doesnt' do much else
Megan is alright.. bu

I've been all over...born and raised in California...grew up working in the same theatre as Audra McDonald, Sharon Leal, Sarah Uriartie Berry, Heidi Blikinstaff...The logical choice for me would have to move to LA...but after spending the summer after HS doing summerstock in Michigan at one of those "do everything" summerstocks.. I met a girl who lived in chicago, she said Chicago was a great theatre town so I moved there. Worked quite a bit, earning a few equity points, getting really close on

I love this show.. I've done it multiple times.. I think the problem with the Bway show.. is that it was really one of the first of its kind.. of course now we have.. Mamma Mia, Good Vibrations, Times they are a Changin.. etc.. BUDDY was the fisrt..
But its a great show.. and is a must see if you're in London.
The weird thing about BUDDY is some buddy holly songs.. were a hit in London but not the states.. sooo some songs are different in the shows..
Heartbeat.. majo

I agree in that I think we give the STANDING O a little too much.. I'm usually the one that doesn't stand if I didn't like the show... unless it would be really awful If I didn't... With Musicals people just JUMP up.. as soon as bows being.. kinda annoying.
I've stood for Coast of Utopia, The Retreat From Moscow, and Journeys End... latley

I've seen the show twice now.. I've seen Nadine as Cassie both times.. the entire original cast.. minus the cassie.. the first time.. and David Baum was on for.. Gregory...and of course Nadine again..
but 6 understudies! whoa.. They should do what they do at rent.. just have an insert with the "cast" that will be performing that night.. its less upsetting than opening your playbill and 6 slips fall out!

I like Hairspray.. I've seen it a few times... I didn't want to see it with the "Stunt" "Star" "Whatever" casting.. of Alexa, Ashley, Jerry...but I did. They were okay. They did there best I'm sure. It just bothers me to know that if these same people if they weren't under the "Stunt" "Star" and "Whatver" casting banner.. that if they just walked in off the street and auditionied for these roles like everyone else.. I dont' think they would get a second look. That being said.. I might be the onl

Well the last auditions were in LA on the 20th.. soo if he did indeed audition in LA.. there would be no need to cancel any others.. cause none were schduled. Also it is a staged reading.. and while he would get first refusel it doesn't mean he will indeed get to broadway.
