Jeremy and Ashley Spencer are also getting married on 9/8 (same day as me!) so that is also probably part of the reason for this particular departure date...

My rumor - Jessie Mueller to play Fanny Brice ~ Funny Girl/Whoppi called it Dec 15
2011, 10:02:41 PM
I think it's safe to say from all these "Clear day" clips that Jessie can belt her face off with the best of them.
Jessie would make a glorious Fanny Brice. She can do ANYTHING. but we would love her back in Chicago. Take care of her NYC.

Actor injured in Spiderman tonight Dec 22
2010, 08:50:40 AM
RE: Wicked injuries-yeah there have been multiple injuries with that show (Steph J Block's cherry picker one comes to mind) BUUUT you're talking about injuries happening over YEARS of performances. Spiderman isn't even open!
Theatre is dangerous, but it shouldn't be made more so by expecting your actors to perform in stunts seen in film.

Sondheim Birthday Concert on PBS tonight! Nov 26
2010, 11:53:03 PM
someone said in Chicago it was the cut up version with pledges, not in Rockford! which is obviously NOT Chicago but only an hour and half away so I'm suprised they would broadcast something different...
and could this have been more perfect? I'm not sure.

Beauty and the Beast national tour - My Reivew Oct 26
2010, 10:38:48 AM
believe it or not, there are non-equity actors out there that are good...this tour just didn't cast any.
And I saw the original Belle (Liz Shivner?) on this tour and it was not any better.

Bernadette: GET IT, can you believe she's 62? i can't.

my next to normal cd has weird static going on in the middle of "I'm Alive" the first time I heard it I thought it was weird interference on my ipod feed from a radio station, THEN I realized I was listening to the cd...lol
also, in "I am" has anyone else noticed the bad autotune on "we've been FINE for so long now"....?? It bothers me

Plus, compare it to Jodi's Part of Your World at the same event, and she sounds like a person performing...there are little flaws to the sound, etc. while Paige's sounded flawless and Jodi is by far a better singing in my opinion.

Cringeworthy Lyrics May 28
2010, 03:42:58 PM
I disagree on the Next To Normal lyrics posted thus far...they never struck me as clunky...
my favorite cringe is in "You'll See" in RENT
"..think twice before you poo poo it"
really?
and I always agree with the Webber/Rice, Don Black, Wildhorn, Schwartz clunkers. Wicked has some bad ones, but I think he set up a 'world' where some of it's acceptable.
