I saw an Off-Off Broadway production of Little Shop of Horrors this weekend starring a few Broadway and other professional teens this weekend and it was fantastic. I wasn't expecting that caliber of talent from an all youth production, but there were really some stand outs in the cast. Has anyone else seen this production? The company is Kidz Theater. I was just wondering if anyone had any background on this company because I was really surprised.

I watched one of the nights of the Quarter Finals and some of the talent was really great! I'm a big fan of Move for Autism. Totally So You Think You Can Dance worthy!

I've been spending my time watching a lot of white high school Aidas. I would like to send a message to high school theater directors: Just because you put cornrows in your white Aida's hair, it does not make her black.

Yes, I understand that. Hence the date on the info. I just felt like posting about it because it was on my mind. If you are uninterested, you can ignore me.

I know this is the least legit source possible, but can't a girl dream? Also, wtf is up with Dumbo? I hope that is not true.

The problem with shows with kids is that producers and directors are (understandably) wary of casting someone without broadway credits on their resume. The catch is most kids haven't been on Broadway-- so you just end up with the same boring and bad kids from the 13 cast and Grinch.

UGGHHHH!! I wan't so badly for this show to work because the score is so great. I'm still holding onto my dreams that a great production of this show can be done!

I got to see the puppets and meet the actors when I was rehearsing a show next door. They were SO CUTE! Can't wait to see this one!

I heard terrible things about Come Fly Away so nix that one. I loved Fela!

Wish I could have gone! I was invited by a friend who's show had a bonnet one year and it was so much fun!

I can't wait 2 weeks for a response! I want to know now!!

what's strange is that equity works so hard to get more members... remember that strike at the American Girl Place Theater-- because THOSE actors really needed to go equity in a doll store.

Maybe the musical Mr. G directed on Summer Heights High. I can't remember what it was called but it looked pretty fantastic (ly bad)

He is 100% not the right type for the role... that's so weird. But who knows, maybe he'll be good.

What part is Bridget playing? She was so cute in the Doubt movie!

A friends dad took me to see Barbara Cook perform at the Carlyle last year and she was AMAZING-- I mean, just BEAUTIFUL. She is still such an amazing performer and though her range has dropped somewhat, her beautiful tone is unforgettable--and all this at 80! I love Barbara Cook.

I know that Rent School Edition has sparked a lot of heated debate in schools about gay rights. When schools have wanted to do it and there has been opposition from adminitrators or parents due to the "content" (translation: there are gay characters), students and teachers have prostested and fought back. They have also created educational ways to introduce student who might not have a lot of education about gay rights to the issues. In the end, most schools have been able to do the productio...

Its interesting how we always want to bash the star that is miscast. Shouldn't we be bashing the person who made the awful casting choice. It's unfair to the people who are ill equipped to play the role.

I know that she's had more than one lead but I ADORE Kelly O'Hara and wish she would work non stop!
