Pretty psyched for this. Anyone else seeing it or have any other NYMF recommendations? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eJSS9BSMGQM Glad the NMT community is getting some NYMF love this year, and the cast is amazing! (This video is one of my favorites, it's Drew Gasparini singing one of the songs from his show: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tn6R0qPqyCk)

Cait Doyle is going to host! Love her. This is going to be great! http://cabaret.broadwayworld.com/article/Contreras_Gwon_Gealt_et_al_Set_for_COMPOSERS_SING_COMPOSERS_46_20110330

I agree that the use of the aisles was an interesting concept, but I was sitting in the 4th row of the mezzanine and I couldn't see any of it. So that means that a whole chunk of the opening and closing numbers of the show was lost to half of the audience. Another fail.

Several up-and-coming composers/lyricists will perform their own songs April 6 at Le Poisson Rouge in an evening titled Composers Sing Composers. The 7 PM concert, which is presented by Alina Gutiérrez and Ashley Mas, will feature the work and performances of Gaby Alter, Joey Contreras, Drew Gasparini, Jonathan Reid Gealt, Adam Gwon, Brian Lowdermilk, Ryan Scott Oliver and Zoe Sarnak. Samantha Saltzman will direct the concert, which will also feature Sharon Kenny on piano and Emily Brausa on ...

I haven't read the rest of this thread so this may get redundant, but this show was HORRIBLE and here are a few key reasons (this may contain some spoilers): 1) The book: Lines were pulled directly from the movie. The filler lines written for the stage version had no depth (the big Frank and Hanratty emotional moment culminated in "You're pretty cool." Seriously, that's verbatim the line from the show. Then there’s a hug and the show is over.) Watching the show was like watching someone read ...

Pretty excited about this, I love Carner and Gregor's stuff. Out of the Bay is one of my favorite new musical theater songs. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vLJlcimFm1E And Andrew Kober is always amazing. High hopes for this!

"How do you recast roles that grow to be heavily identified with widely recognized actors?" -- Good casting and less closed-minded PR? I think the producers who can find the next Barbara, the next Patti Lupone, the next Sutton Foster are going to have something really great on their hands. A fresh face, a no-name, but actual TALENT. As for Night Music, I am of the opinion that they should revoke CZJ's Tony and give it to Bernadette.

Just searched for any recent video and found Vanessa Ray singing Miles of Time! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LCia1fAoHZk It looks like this was when she was still learning the song maybe, but I'm still in love.

I'm a really big NYMF fan and I cannot WAIT to see this show in this year's festival! I've been listening to the music on their website (www.trailsthemusical.com) because there are more songs posted than on the NYMF site, and I LOVE this material. And the cast is supposed to be amazing. Can't wait to see what they put together.
