Definitly One day more and Finale of Les Mis(oddly enough I have seen les mis 4 times and each time there is a different/new moment that gives me goosebumps) Your Daddy's Hands and then Coalhouse soliliquy ,also Night that Goldman spoke when Younger Brother sings "Wanting life but never knowing how til now" in Ragtime very end of Caberat revival(is there anything more goosebump worthy then that) quintet in WSS Chava screaming Papa in/after "chavalla" in Fiddler I'll cover you reprise in RENT ...

Ragtime- Younger Brother's part in "He Wanted to Say" and "The Night that Goldman Spoke at Union Square" RENT- "I'll Cover you(reprise)" makes me cry everytime Bare- "The Role of a Lifetime" West Side Story- "Maria" Into the Woods- "No More" never met anyone else who agrees with me that this is the most heartwrenching song in the show. Miss Saigon- "Bui Doi" There are plenty more but those are the first that come to mind.

I feel that DRS while funny doesn't hold a candle to the beautiful melodies in Piazza. but I will take beautiful lush melodies over funny comedy anyday.

I have to wholeheartedly agree with all of you. No one can sing Enpty chairs like him. I love Aspects simply because you get hear Micheal's amazingly beautiful voice. I also saw the ALW celebration with him singing. bought it simply to have Micheal's version of Gethsemene. truly amazing talent! (and very good looking of course)

I would have to say One Day More from Les Mis. What a great way to end a first act!! Always gets me so excited.

I saw ragtime on saturday. I was also very impressed with the show. The cast was wonderful. David Jennings as Coalhouse was exceptionally good. The only critism I had was that although I loved younger brother's(Matthew Rocheleau) acting I found his singing didnt have the excitement that the obc younger brother had. There was nothing paticularly wrong with his singing it just didn't have the energy that his acting did.

my personal favorites are West Side Story Little Shop of Horrors 1776

Ragtime West side story Secret Garden Les Mis(I wasn't ready for it to close)

First off definitly casting. Patrick Wilson did well enough with his part but Emma... Are we supposed to believe that a huge audience coming into see an Opera in the 1870's would clap for her singing voice. She sounded about 14 in "think of me" . Maybe they wanted her voice to be innocent sounding to conrast with Carlotta but please, She is singing the lead in Opera at least have her sound somewhat operatic. just a little.. I personally thought her acting was a little cliche. Too many "deer c...

The top 3 are set in stone...the rest change depending on my mood. 1. Les mis 2. Rent 3. Ragtime 4. Wicked* 5. Jekyll and Hyde 6. Little shop 7. West Side Story 8. Aida* 9. Into the woods 10. Cabaret(revival) the ones denoted with * are ones that I have not seen my opinion is based off OBC recording

"I remember it well" from Gigi is a funny one.

I second Bang Bang you're dead. my school did that play the year after I graduated. I went to see it and was in tears. Its a very difficult play to do but as long as you have actors that are very good at drama and a good director.

I think that Evelyn Nesbit is such an interesting character with her obsession with tateh and his daughter and her relationship to Emma. Although Ragtime is one of my favorite plays I was sad about the adaptation of Evelyn. Congrats on getting the part! Read the book if only because it is a great read.

I agree we need to fight this! I will be sending letters to Gerald Allen. Obviously he has forgotten about a lil thing called the first amendment. Why oh why do people like this closeminded and prejudice person that they call our president?

I have just seen the tour of LSOH tonight.(San Diego) I was definitly blown away by Tari Kelly. Suddenly Seymore was incredibly amazing! I am a big fan of Jessica Snow but thought that Tari definitly was way better vocally and acting. Anthony of course was wonderful. the urchins also had great singing voices but I agree that their interpretation bugged me.

I saw it on broadway years ago...I was 10 at the time i think. I enjoyed it very much. It was a huge fun spectacle with some good music. Not a great musical but it was enjoyable live. Although I enjoyed it live, I dont listen to the recording and I watched part of the pbs special and hated it.

Love Wild Party! my favorite song is People like us.
