Can someone explain to me why the opposition to Corporate Naming rights is so strong. If you are supporting Broadway (which by posting on this board I assume you do)you are supporting comercial theatre. The real art is off-broadway and elsewhere not there. Its all about money on Broadway and naming a theatre after some dead person no matter how well respected does not make much (or any) money. If you have a problem with corperations you shouldn't support big expesive messes like Hairspray, A

I saw this summer's broadway rocks with the NC Smyphony and it was awesome. Terrance himself has not aged gracefully, but he makes up for it with such a down to earth presence. The other performers included Alice Ripley, Brian D'arcy James, Norm Lewis and a couple others that were outstanding.

There's a new message board for the Charlotte Arts Community...it has the possiblility of being really awesome if people can find out about it, so I'm just trying to get the word out:

What about Webster University?

wow....I never even noticed when this came out:
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0267384/combined

I love this show. A local theare company (here in Charlotte) is mounting a production of it....can't wait!

I agree with Contact deserving a shorter run! I can't tell you how much i hated that show! Movin Out atleast has a kick ass Billy Joel cover band.

Hey thats not too weird a combo. My good friend graduated from East Carolina Universiy with a double majorored in Political Science and Musical Theatre. And now... he works in computers. He still finds time for performing with local theatre companies though.

1)Assasins....oh wait, not anymore

1) Rent

I also want to audition for a local production of tick, tick...boom

where do you guys chat?

Belk Theatre in Charlotte:

Its a little big, but its beautiful, the acoustics are great, and there's not a bad seat (they're comfortable too) in the house.

Jason Robert Brown is my favorite current composer. I love the Parade recording (although I can understand why it wasn't a commercial success). I already loved Last Five Years form the recording.....but after I saw the Philadelphia Theatre Company's production it is my new favorite musical. The guy playing Jamie was a much better actor than Butz and the girl who played Cathy was amazing!! What is Jon and Jenn? By Andrew Lippa composer of The Wild Party??

I can't find the music clip either. Anyone know where it is??

the sweeney revival was actually like thirteen years ago

how do you get the cheap tix??

Brian Stokes Mitchell would be a great choice for Sweeney!

Are there discounts available to shows in previews or is that never possible?

I think it looks awesome! I'll admit Frank Wildhorn is no Sondheim but Jekyll & Hyde was an entertaining guilty pleasure and Scarlet Pimpernell was actually qutie good and better than most musicals since. Dracula is a great story and with the talent involved in this production I'm shocked there is not more excitement.

I'm a huge fan of JRB, have been ever since my friend came back from nyc raving about a new show called Parade. When the OCR for Parade came out I was hooked. I can totally understand why it was not a comercial success though and I don't think it will ever be a stable of regienal theatre. Last Five Years on the other hand will have a long life through regional, community, and college productions. I saw it in Philidelphia an
