Brilliant choice, but it's a shame about Keira. I think she's a good actor, but it is a musical, and I don't think Marni Nixon would want to do all of the vocals again.

Well most people don't really get much control over their vibrato until 16. I mean training could certainly help. But she probably hasn't had any training. The only thing that really concerns me about her ability is her very obvious lack of expression. As it has been mentioned on previous threads, if you can't be a singer who acts, at least be an actor who sings.

I used to think Patti LuPone was Patti LuPon(ee) so that it sounded Italian, but then I wised up :)

I liked Cats......until I saw it. YAWN. I think it's the only musical I had the urge to fall asleep in.

"What do you think of our rhythm bands...monkey glands...hot dog stands" - Conga, Wonderful Town
I don't know why, but it makes me itch. I love the song, but I just cringe when I hear it..I think it's the monkey glands.
And I know everybody is going to kill me for this, but some of the Sunday in the Park with George lyrics.

Wicked is still very close to my heart because it what caused me to start listening to other musicals. I just wondered what else was out there. I still love it.
I also love: West Side Story, Sweeney Todd, Phantom of the Opera, Guys and Dolls, Chicago, A Chorus Line, Singin' in the Rain (I've only seen the movie, but I love it!), Rent, Spring Awakening, and many others

I was actually thinking Sierra Boggess as Cady, but then when I read Annaliese Van Der Pol, I changed my mind. The funny thing is, I could actually see Annaliese as Andy Sachs in Prada too!

I know nothing about her performances(except the fact that she looks EXACTLY like my best friend) because I haven't seen her live. I don't want to judge anyone I haven't seen live, because they usually turn out to be either way better, or way worse than I thought.

re: Top Ten Musicals Any Actor Should Know ?

In no particular order (including my opinions why):
Oklahoma:
It was a musical milestone with its choreography. It wasn't just a revue. It had a plot, and integrated music, drama, and dance into it.
West Side Story:
It makes a bunch of dancers look super gangster and it opened in 57! Come on! :) Robbins purposely cast amazing dancers that could embody their characters and make each of them different.
Phantom of the Opera:
The libretto is amazing, and the

Well, maybe if it IS a small group of people lotto-ing..I mean it's pretty unlikely that I've won lotto every time I've entered, and I've been in a group of four that all got tickets. So who knows.

This isn't really awkward or Broadway, or even Stage Door, but I was in Hollywood walking down the street, and this guy in one of those tour buses gave a really audible honk and whistle, and so I look around and I see DJ Gregory of Wicked LA in his car with his dog...and he was just kind of smirking at the fact at how surprised I was to see a tour guide whistling at me...it was a kind of awkward exchange.

I really like Eden's voice, but she used to have this thing she did with her voice I didn't like. But now I really admire her singing and acting, and not only because she was in Wicked. I'm looking forward to seeing her in Rent.
