I wouldn't worry! Shmini Atzeret is an incredibly insignificant holiday, and the guy didn't take off Yom Kippur, which is the most important day of the year in the Jewis

Okay so first of all I'm shocked. When I saw this thread when I woke up this morning, I actually thought it was a joke. Betsy was just talking about this the other day! When I stagedoored Waitress last week she was talking about how excited she was! So yeah, something crazy must have happened over the weekend. I can't wait to hear if Riedel has anything to say.

During the bows at the end, he definitely looked spent and blotchy, and he did not stage door. I think the poor guy is sick. It seem

What a fun thread to bring back! Personally I'm a big fan of an understated, meaningful finale such as:

2. Falsettos-Falsettoland (reprise) I can't make it through that song without crying. Brandon Uranowitz's voice...

3. Fun Home-Flying Away HARMONIES FOR DAYS. I love all three Alis

The first professional show I ever saw was a regional production of Annie when I was 5 years old. I remember being totally enthralled by it all, and just sitting there thinking "I want to do that!" Though I had already been enrolled in dance class for 3 and 1/2 years and was in weekly acting and piano classes (thanks tiger parents), so I had gotten exposure to the arts, that sticks in my mind a lot. My first Broadway show was a year later, and that was Lion King. I'm p

I saw Kara more than two years ago, and still vividly remember her performance. She was a great Glinda (Not that I've seen a ton of Glindas, only four) The last time I went to see Wicked, which was almost a year ago, I got understudies for both Elphaba and Glinda, but I thought Michael Campayno was a g
