This sucks. I won for the first time last week. I guess that'll be the last time I see it from the orchestra... I want the show to do well, but are 21 seats really going to make that much of a difference at the B.O.?

He was at closing night... I think he saw it before that, too.

I saw them together, RentBoy -- Norbert is still my favorite Roger. Sherie's listed as "Sherie Scott" in my Playbill.
Michael Bennett - Daphne left before Idina. I just remember because it was such a huge deal...

She replaced Idina. I didn't like her in the role, but she sang the hell out of "Take Me or Leave Me." Not sure how long she stayed.

Is this a good idea? Jun 28

No idea how many people in this board are in Virginia... but is it okay to talk about Richmond theatre on the DC board?

The Creation of Man, The Scarlet Pimpernel
The Rap, Starlight Express
I feel so embarrassed for the universe when I hear both of those songs.

I don't even have to look it up... I was so angsty about not being able to see his last show that the date stuck with me.

Other than the more obvious choices... Meredith in Bat Boy.

I liked Marcy... a lot of people really hated her in the role, but I'm not sure they gave her much of a chance!

Adam's last day was another cast member's last day, too, I think? Anyone know who?

Wow, I'm out of it. Have they recorded it already? Does anyone know how they've handled the roles that are triple-cast?

Just digging up this thread to ask if anyone here has seen Andrew Ragone go on as Che? I saw him last week. I'd heard good things about Bradley Dean so I was a bit disappointed to see that he was out, but I enjoyed Andrew's performance very much. I wish the acoustics in the theatre hadn't been so bad; he had a beautiful, powerful voice, but some of the lyrics got lost. So... has anyone else seen him?

re: Ever cried during the overture? Jun 24

I felt like crying during the Chitty overture. I thought I was being prepped for an evening of torture...
I cried during the Porgy and Bess overture. Nothing beats hearing that music live! I was overwhelmed.

It's Marcy with a 'y'
Daphne was definitely in the show for more than six months. She stayed for a year, maybe a little more.

Hunter mentioned in an interview that he auditioned for RENT years ago. I don't think he'd do it now.
I'd like to see Tartaglia or Robb Sapp try it. Maybe Chad Kimball...

They have student rush, but I believe they're located in box seats -- not great because of the staging. You'd be looking at the back of an actor's head for a good part of the show.
I don't shock or scare easily, but my friend and I held hands during the part that cabarethed mentioned. It's intense!

I really enjoyed the orchestrations on this recording. The modern sound of it, not so much. That was my biggest complaint about the concert, too, but it was still an amazing (<- for FindingNamo) night.
