Someone in a Tree2 said: "I may incur of the wrath of the internet hordes when I whisper in your ear that the past participle of "go" is "gone", as in: "If I knew in advance, I would have gone." There are other oldsters out there who may thank me."I, for one, thank you!

As an older singer, I'm 62, I can tell you that as I've aged, I have my top notes and bottom notes but it's the middle that's suffered. Since we spend most of the time singing in the middle register it begins to wear out before the top and bottom. My voice has darkened, but it's much harder to achieve a legato line as easily as I did 30 or 40 years ago. My breath is still there, but the power has diminished. I agree that Renee's voice didn't sound its best.

Instead of posting a question here, why not go to Sardis.com and get the information directly?

Does anyone know if Alfie Boe has recorded Soliloquy? I think he could certainly do it justice.

I think it's a generational thing. Kaye Ballard used to grouse all the time about cast members missing shows for any number of reasons when she was in Pirates of Penzance. They grew up in the age when, unless you were in an iron lung, you went on. Dame Diana is of the same ilk. Venerable older people don't care about firing cannonballs anymore. She's entitled to her opinion, she's earned the right to express it and I think she doesn't care what anyone else thinks about it. We're all making th...

If I paid, phuck if I’m walking out."Not a trust fund kid here, but I am established in my career after years of hard work: life is too short for **** productions and I see no obligation to stay. This is particularly a problem for me as I love opera, but I am not going to sit through a five hour production ofMeistersinge...

Could not get through Godspell as I hated being preached to and Happy Days was just so awfull,"I can understand your points but with "Godspell" what did you expect, a treatise on the Enlightenment?"

ClydeBarrow said: ""Still.. Laura looks like such a classy lady... for her to talk about her vagina at Town Hall was a bit tacky. it wasn't funny, it was crude and out of place."Do the pearls break when you clutch them that hard?"That gave me the best laugh I've had for 3 years. Thank you. I'm still laughing.

Katharine Cornell in Romeo and Juliet.

Absolutely! Couldn't agree with you more about Finian's Rainbow, especially the last iteration a few years ago. I saw better productions in High Schools than that tripe.

Quoting Mrs. Higgins, "Bravo, Eliza!"

Thanks for your insights, Mikers, but it's "Cain and Abel." Auto correct might have been the culprit.

I was very disappointed in Samonsky's acting. Lovely voice, beautiful really, but the difference is, when he sings you don't see any mechanics. He's got a beautiful instrument and knows how to use it. His acting showed me none of that. I could see all the technique he was using to manufacture a portrayal. When he needed to be intense he was almost hyperventilating to produce an effect. When the best perform you never see the mechanics or the technique.
