I think NPH is good but not GREAT. Someone like Rosie or Kathy would be amazing. I think Kathy Griffin would be a very appropriate choice to host after the year she has had.
I'm thinking about applying to Ithaca for MT and so I was checking out their website - I didn't know Matt Cavenaugh is an alum!? I LOVE him! What's he doing these days?
Came across this on the ATC boards, and the consensus was... um, not too positive. I wouldn't sing, but darn I don't think I'd mind just sitting there and getting to watch the man for 4 hours.
Oprah is the most powerful woman in entertainment today. She has achieved everything she has said she would. I personally think she has an uncanny amount of charisma and could see her really succeeding on the broadway stage.
I know there was a thread about this a few weeks ago, but I couldn't find it, sorry! Did anyone get an e-mail about My Broadway Deal? Looks like they just launched with Born Yesterday. $65 is a bit much, but the site looks nice. Interested to see what's next.
I also read this hoping it was announcing that she gave birth. She must be due soon, but this looks really great, I might have to go audit this, especially for only 30 bucks.
I highly doubt this is a "cast your best friend" type of show with a name like Jay Aubrey Jones involved. It seems like this theater is trying to pull itself out of the image that has been made over the years. Good for them.
I've been successful at getting tickets! I arrived 2 hours before, got my ticket with my student ID, then I hung around until the show. It was a lot of fun!
I got a rush ticket last Friday and it was amazing. The entire audience was on its feet the second bows started and only the BC/EFA speech quieted everyone down much later. I'm still really moved by the show. Sadly, I think the producers were trying to make back their money and this was the only way to do it. Student tickets have been selling out by 10:30 or so since they announced the closing. At least these last few shows will be packed and give the performers the response they deserve.
