I can't wait to see this!! I already have my tickets to 2 different performances next month. Although I think Kendra as Diana is an interesting choice, i'm willing to go in with an open mind, with hope that she does it justice.

"Company" Original (or current) Score Vs. 1996 Score
Aug 13
2012, 04:05:56 PM
I have an audition for a local production of Company next week. I have a copy of the score which is labeled "1996". Each recording I have heard regarding "Someone Is Waiting" and "Being Alive" is higher on the recording (by 1 and 1/2 steps)than the score I have.
What my question is, is for anyone with the original score or the current published score, is, what key is "Someone Is Waiting" in? And, what key does "Being Alive" end in? In the score I have the first is completely in E

Sneak Preview of "Smash", my thoughts...
Jan 9

I was able to attend a sneak preview of "Smash" tonight. It's a top notch show with top notch actors. Katherine McPhee was a pleasant suprise as I had minimal expectations of her. She is the lead and I can honestly say she can carry the show. The only person I felt was a little out of place is Megan Hilty. I love the girl, but I just felt her star power is too big and more meant for the stage and not TV. Though, she did wow me during the baseball number written for the Marilyn musical. The

Although I have no intentions of doing so, I though IF ever I did get married, I would want "I Believe My Heart..." from The Woman In White played or sung at my wedding...

Working in Chicago closing early
May 10
2011, 04:05:52 PM
I saw this in Chicago last week while I was there. I really thought overall it was a brilliant production. Standouts for me were Michael Mahler and Emjoy Gavino. I like all the updated music, monologues, the additions and didn't really miss any of the omissions from the original show (Un Mejor Dia Vendra). Lin Manuel Miranda's songs in particular were a great addition. It's sad to see this show go so soon, but it had a great run. I just hope future community productions can incorporate the

Well, i'm very interested to at least check it out, so I bought tickets to see it when i'm in Chicago in May. Actually I purchased a groupon so I ended up paying half price. If anyone is interested, the groupon is still up for a bit longer:

White Noise - Thoughts?
Apr 9
2011, 06:15:54 PM
I know what you are saying :) The only reason i'm seeing Next To Normal is that it isn't travelling to my city, I didn't see in on Broadway and it happens to be there when I am. Thank you for the suggestions!

White Noise - Thoughts?

I will be in Chicago May 3-8 and am already seeing Next To Normal, I was thinking of seeing this...do you think it would be worth seeing? Other suggestions of what to see there? (besides Spring Awakening, i've already seen that and that's on the bottom of my list if there are other things are a must to see)...

Lin-Manuel Miranda's Performance On Tour
Jun 21
2010, 01:22:43 PM
I saw him and he was brilliant to say the least...I was sitting in the second row and was just totally blown away by him...after the show he did a talkback with the audience...he has to be one of the nicest guys i've ever met, very humble and appreciative. I am so glad he was there and also glad he will be playing Usnavi in the movie (he confirmed this him self during the talk back). Thomas Kail (the origianal director) was there too...such a great day!

In The Heights Tour Usnavi
Jun 21

I actually saw both shows on Saturday in AZ...Lin-Manuel was absolutely amazing and probably the nicest guy i've ever met...the evening show that night, Joseph Morales played Usnavi...and didn't do much for me in comparision to Lin-Manuel...Either way, still an amazing show, something i'd see over and over again, given the chance!

Yes, I know, off-topic, but it's a musical, so I thought i'd post it here.
Anyone seen this movie/musical? The trailer looks awesome! I just bought the soundtrack and it's interesting, I don't know if it's all that great yet, i'll have to give it a couple more listens. Anyhow, anyones thoughts on this?

Best Belters on Broadway (Post Golden Age)
Oct 2
2008, 12:49:04 PM
Ok, before I get reamed a new one, I did a search on this and couldn't find a thread.
So, in your opinion who do you think are the best Belter's from the late 60's to today? (Post Golden Age is always subjective, but I always say this period started with rock musicals, Hair, JCS, etc etc)
