I was Bat Boy last year... I wore pointy ears, fangs and a sweater vest. Most people thought that i was like a vampire golfer or something.

rants from stage

i heard a story from when Matt Damon and Casey Affleck were in This is Our Youth in London and a girl's cell phone rang and she continued to talk saying things like "yeah, no... i'm at the show right now. they're right in front of me".
From what i remember, Matt and Casey stood on stage and stared at her until she finished her conversation.

yeah i'm talking about Whistle, Pacific Overtures and Merrily and including some about Sweeney... since it was a financial flop, but not necessarily a flop in the other sense... i'm hoping to put something about Follies in an introductory paragraph...

wow! thanks! yeah, i have Art isn't Easy, Secrest's book, Sondheim and Co. and Gottfried's book.
I've also found that the liner notes to the Cast recordings are loaded with info.
I'm not doing Follies because I wasn't aware that it was such a huge flop when i wrote my original proposal...
thanks again!

this is all sooo interesting! I'm actually writing a paper on Sondheim "flops" for my Theatre History class right now... I've been listening to Merrily practically nonstop and i'm excited to read up more on it! (I haven't quite gotten to it yet in my research...)
It's great to hear about other fans.

were the Hatchet-Face and Wanda roles cut? If the show begins previews in 3 weeks... you would think these roles would be listed in the press releases or on IBDb... especially since Lenora is mentioned and her role (in the film at least) wasn't nearly as large...

i saw a similar concert in Chicago a few years ago... i liked Debbie's performance, but i wasn't too keen on her "Defying Gravity"... it's a pretty bad arrangement (hopefully she's changed it). i did hear she's very nice, though.
enjoy the show!

my paper has to be on Cat on a Hot Tin Roof... it's the play we are reading in my Dramatic Lit class at the moment. I saw that there was this interesting new revival and thought that that would make an interesting paper topic...

Cat on a Hot Tin Roof question
Feb 12
2008, 10:44:52 PM
Hey, I'm currently writing a paper about the revival of Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, but sadly I cannot get out of Central Illinios and see the production. So I was hoping that somebody who had seen it could tell me any changes or omissions that were made in order for the play to work for an African American cast.
Thanks!

hey, didn't see anything about this article. it was on the mainpage of IMDb this morning....
I'm a bit worried about when JDepp says "punk rock" style singing...
good article though!

we did The Fanstasticks at my school last year. and first i must preface this by saying we are a small Liberal Arts College with about 550 students total, so we didn't have much of an audition turn out to begin. we had 3 boys total in the cast. Matt. one of the father's and a "chorus member" (we were gypsies... members of El Gallo's rag tag army!). every other cast member was female, but played male. our director is notorious for cross gender casting.
we also used "It Depends on What you Pa
