I was sitting in the Mezz and it was very annoying having all those distractions through out the show. Especially right before Rose's Turn, because it really took away from the scene work. Everyone kept looking up at the balcony to see what had happened... anyway- the show:
If anyone saw it at City Center- VERY LITTLE was changed. Some blocking.. some costumes (mainly Patti's) Other than that- it is the same show.
Some pacing issues, and definately the feel of a first pub

This is a very old topic.. but I was still wondering if anyone knew who held the performance rights to BARE? I am helping my school pick out their season, and I thought BARE would be a good choice...

Woman 1: Sherie Rene Scott or Eden Espinosa
Woman 2: Patti Lupone ( Cause -I would KILL to hear Patti sing FLAGMAKER!)
Man 1: Darius DaHaas (He sang KING OF THE WORLD for the Symphony Space concert and was OUT OF CONTROL AMAZING!)
Man 2: Nobert Leo Butz (Let's face it, he would be amazing!)

Well, as far as training goes.. Madonna's range and overall quality improved with her vocal lessons for EVITA...
which lead to dissapointment from her fans cause her voice is a little more "broadway" sounding now... I guess for the kind of music she sings, she started to sound too trained... You can definately notice a difference in Ray of Light from the previous album....

I was completely with both Patti and Madonna around the same time... before the movie was actually released Patti seemed like she was supportive of Madonna...
after the movie was released.. Patti claimed she never had any desire to see it.. and still hasn't...
so- who knows.. the world may never know...

Was this question about people in general disliking her.. OR
The Broadway community turning their backs on her?
In either case:
General- As with any outspoken liberal on mass media...The Conservatives (who also control the air waves) made her out to be a freak when she started to pose a threat to them. I applaud her for spearheading lots of wonderful causes, especially the "gay adoption" campaign. As long as the majority of America continues to accept EVERYTHING that is being

I am really excited to see someone new in this role. And I am excited that Eden is having a "go at it" since I missed her during her first run in Wicked.

I agree with most of the things being discussed... I am not an Adam Pascal fan, far from it. But he wasn't bad. He was good. Much better than I expected, but nothing to get him any kind of acting nomination for.
Rosario did an awesome job, I especially think she did great in WITHOUT YOU.
As far as acting NODs go, I think they all have some chance of getting something... Probably NOT Oscars. Golden Globes maybe. It's a tough season to judge acting awards with the big holiday films comin

Can the immature audiences just freaking let an actor do their work? Rosario was great in the film and a far better singer than I expected.. How can someone who hasn't even SEEN the film even waste Board space with a ridiculous review like this??? GROW UP!

Most of the changes, that you mentioned, were "updates" or "revisions" done by the authors... Aside from staging issues and performances ofcourse...
I saw this production and didn't hate it as much as you did. You can't go into a show expecting either THE EXACT ORIGINAL BWAY everything, where is the freedom of expression there?, or whatever it was that you were expecting was probably a little grand wasn't it?
Although some of the actors have changed since I saw it, I thought
