My friend saw Sister Act the other day and still won't stop singing the songs if that tells you anything.

What is the best production(s) you have ever seen at a reginal theater?
Mar 28

The recent production of Arsenic and Old Lace at Dallas Theatre Center was easily the best production I have ever seen! How Betty Buckely and Tovah Feldshuh became their characters on that stage still astounds me! True perfection.

Though that was definitely Bailey, the Gay Donald Trump impersonator stole the show with that dancing!

I saw the show last night in Fort Worth, TX. Overall it was a great show! The theatre seemed pretty near sold out which is surprising for this area. The only big difference I noticed set wise was the lack of the moving platform, which at times I did miss but overall was not really needed, and the steps that expanded over the orchestra pit from the equity tour. There were some sound issues, but it was mainly just the sound people trying to balance out everyone.
Cast wise, they were v

I'm seeing this production on November 10th in Fort Worth, TX. Is there any word on the sound issues being ironed out? Also, do they frequently use the full set or is there the standard list of cut set pieces depending on how long the stop is?

I actually really enjoy One Night Only. Unfortunately, that is the only song recorded that I liked. :/

What shows had the most costumes for you?
Mar 16

Last Christmas I play three roles (Mr. Gimble, Macy's Elf, Chorus) in Miracle on 34th Street. I had my ensemble costume, my court room costume, my Mr. Gimble outside costume, my Mr. Gimble inside costume, my elf costume (which was skin tight and not delivered until the day of our final dress rehersal), and my finale costume. Mind you, I changed in and out of the costumes depending on the scene. So though it was only six costumes, I was constantly running offstage and having things ripped off a

The production shots of the current touring production of Beauty and the Beast have finally been posted.

I must say I am surprised by how great the set looks (though, I had low expectations so exceeding them is not difficult). I am, however, disappointed by the clearly false fire for Lumiere. To me, it makes the costume look cheap and cheesy. :/

Help Me Weigh Options!; Children's Musical Theatre

I can not rave enough about Back to the 80s. It's on MTI's site and has songs everyone loves! Also, the second everyone heard my school was doing a show containing their favorite 80s hits, we sold out all 4 shows. Nearly every song is available as an instrumental version somehwere. Highly recommended!

Musicals for high school production (large cast)
Jan 11
2010, 07:50:47 PM
Back to the 80's (MTI) is a wonderful show for high schoolers! It has songs everybody knows, brings in a crowd, and is just fun! My school has done a multitude of shows and this was BY FAR the most enjoyable show I have ever been apart of. Oh! We sold out all 4 shows we put on and two of them sold out days before the show opened (300 seat theatre).

'Beauty & The Beast' tour cast announced!

I would rather them have the strings and other difficult to travel with parts prerecorded to go along with the live orchestra members just so I wouldn't have to hear a MIDI version of a pretty memorable score. That would seriously DESTROY this production for me if I hear a fake string section! FYI I'm a cellist so the string section is always a highlight.

Hairspray On Tour

Question regarding the tour:
I know people have commented over the use of a prerecorded company for You Can't Stop the Beat in the broadway production, but I was wondering if they do the same for the tour? I saw the show June 2008 in Dallas and thought the company sounded full and vibrant so I would like to know if a recorded track was responsible for it. (FYI, the DID use the tower for Good Morning Baltimore and Without Love when I saw it.)
