Yes, that was a beautiful song, but I'm it wasn't strictly a solo, and I'm spoiled, wanted more songs by her. Perhaps it's because I'd just seen an opera a couple of days earlier. :) I'm not even saying that the character warranted another song. I guess I just want to see her in another lead in some oth

Since I see that people are being more detailed in their posts, here are a few more thoughts. I WISH I could say that I loved it as much as broadwayjedi did. I loved many things about it, it's just that I only had that "soaring" feeling rarely, such as in a fantasy dance number with DHP and Jill Paice who played Niki (A Tought Act to Follow), or in Daniely's solo of I Miss the Music. I always love Debra Monk and Karen Ziemba, though KZ felt somewhat underused with no solo. Hibbert was fun as usu

I had posted a couple of things yesterday on the L.A. regional site, so will paste them in here:

I don't know that it's okay to post reactions here before official opening night, so I won't, but I do have a question. At the end of tonight's performance (the first) of "Curtains", there was ONE single short curtain call with the entire cast, then the curtains closed and immediately the house lights went up. I've never seen that before,

This was certainly a high point of the evening, but it wan't actually because of the lines, but because of the delightful interplay between the actors and the audience. After one character said something, the audience agreed so much that we applauded. That was what interrupted Debra Monk's line. Since the applause w

Oh, not in the same league as Cabaret and Chicago, but I'm sure it wasn't intended to be. Much lighter and fluffier. Better than I remember The Rink being (long time ago). I was one who liked Steel Pier, in which I "discovered" Karen Ziemba, who is in Curtains. What is the netiquette on this board about reporting reactions during previews? I guess I can say this much: Worth paying for, though perhaps not at top dollar, and if you do intend to see it make sure you see it while David Hyde Pierce i

I saw the whole show on the 22nd. Ouch! If you are looking for the quality of a Broadway show, don't attend this. The previous experience of many of the creators and producers are in music videos and Las Vegas, and that is painfully obvious. I was able to decipher the lyrics just fine, but in this case that was often not a positive thing. There were some very good vocal performances that transcended the show, mainly the women and Adam Lambert as Joshua, and especially Kevin Earley as Ramses, th
