Love love love this idea!

I saw the show this weekend and agree. The costumes etc were fine. Clay was alright. He should lose the shirt; would be more believable. That said, the guy can sing. The real standout was Keala. Love that girl!

Absolutely true about Derek having best 2 hours.

Amen!

Long story, short answer: Ironically this wasn't on one of his shows. I worked for the President at Capitol Records when ALW was writing his classical LP, Requiem. My boss hated talking to him so whenever "Really Useful Company calling" I got to have the conversations. Before REQUIEM was released, ALW had a listening party with his close friends at the Capitol studios. I was there as were: Sarah Brightman, Cameron McIntosh, Gillian, Trevor Nunn...get the picture? A who's who of the theatre wo...

I agree! Also (don;t throw tomatoes), I just don;t get the Sutton Foster love. Yes she can sing and dance but there just isn't any star quality there JMHO. Oh I was never a RENT fan either. I've worked with ALW -- he's an ass -- but a talented ass.

I agree with whoever nominated Josh Young for Jesus Christ Superstar. He is brilliant and deserves a nod.

I think your post is right on. I saw it in La Jolla. Josh Young btw is frigging amazing.

I agree. She is terrific.

Amen to that!

I agree! No offense to Raul groupies, but I think he was the problem in LA (along with the script of course!).

Love Brooke but she's made it very clear she won't be returning.

I heard there was a table read last week. Any leaks out on the cast yet?

Youngest was Aretha Franklin - she was 52

I agree! So excited for her!

I'll be sad if P&B doesn't make it but not surprised. I agree, Audra is amazing. Just a shame this wasn't handled properly by Gershwin estate.

What do people think about the cast announcement today?

Amen regarding Sutton Foster! Can't stand her.

I sat in front of Richard Dreyfuss last week at WISHFUL DRINKING. Carrie Fisher brought him up on stage at the end of Act 1. My friend had standing room during SPAMALOT and stood next to Mike Nichols who was taking notes the entire time.
