Well I'm hating the Genie's pants... but like the set for the most part. Except for too much gold spray paint.

Odd that they're releasing what I assume will be the Broadway version of the show. Considering that the tour and the MTI version have undergone some heavy changes. New opening, new dragon song, etc... But I guess it will bring in some $$$ for them?

Haven't seen BOM in Chicago yet, but having seen several other shows in the theatre, I'd have to agree and say the sight lines are AWFUL! I've never been in the balcony, but if you're near the middle or back of the main floor, the balcony overhang cuts the stage height in half. Luckily I don't believe BOM utilizes a lot of scenes with high platforms. (Jersey Boys on the other hand.....)

Saw the show in Chicago and absolutely LOVED it! I hadn't seen the show before and wasn't expecting much, but I was pleasantly surprised. Not a huge fan of the Auditorium Theatre when it comes to Broadway In Chicago shows, but the sounds was excellent and the audience very responsive. The sets were fairly simple. It seemed that they had a rectangular center unit that changed over from the nightclub, to the police station, bar, etc... and the rest was all painted drops and show portals. But it...

Pro shot vid... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n0bXW_NlWck interesting how they sorta combined the broadway sets with the tours simplicity.

Once Upon a Mattress is usually a very popular choice. Very flexible cast, lots of female roles and an easy show to learn. :)

The Addams Family curtain (looks simple, but is actually quite complex!)

I'm not trying to bash the London cast at all. I heard the audiences love it which is great! I just was slightly confused because almost all the songs sounded lower. Even Legally Blonde remix.

Did anyone get the student rush tickets? If so how were they?

So I was putzin around on *thatsite* and listened to a few songs here and there. I also talked to someone who saw the show and we both had the same question.... Did they lower the key of the majority of the songs in LB in london to suit the mediocre voices of some of the cast. It sure sounds like it! Just wondering....

The orchestra is fab! Great full sound. It's so nice to finally hear a big band sound again.

Pgenre, can you honestly shut the hell up and get a ****ing life? You seriously need to find better things to do than trash this show. You don't have to be so ****ing rude about everything. I usually am not this bitchy, but I have had enough. I saw the Addams Family and enjoyed it despite its flaws. There is a difference between criticism and just plain bashing. If you hate the show so much (even though you haven't seen it) then GO READ OTHER THREADS FOR GODS SAKE! There are shows I don't lik...

I think the reason for the "useless scene between Callaghan and the interns" was to add more time for the courtroom scene change going on behind them. Since all the set pieces are moved on via cast members.

Maybe he was home for Thanksgiving....

It sounds like a mistake to me. And I totally forgot about the tassel bit! How clever!
