The matinee won't sell out for DC....try Wicked, and since TKTS is only a few blocks away, you shouldn't have that hard of a time getting DC tix...

Forgive my ignorance...but isn't it a cast recording and not a score? Isn't a score music, much like that of an "underscore"...or more or less the written sheet music?

I am responding to someone earlier calling Jennifer Holiday a notoriuos bitch...Actually, having been in contact with one of the crew members of Chicago, i heard quite the opposite. She was actually a very sweet person. The only problem really that she is known for in the Broadway business is that she has poor time management. Other than that, she's actaully not difficult nor mean to her fellow cast members... Bebe Newirth on the other hand is a completely different story...

1 Miss Saigon - Act 2 starts and a man actually answers his ringing cellphone. 2. Man of La Mancha revival - matinee - someone actually pulls out Chinese food from a plastic bag and begins eating it. 3. The Color Purple - some lady behind me pulls out food for her kids, as they ate dinner...and then she had the nerve to talk through it all..."Ooh, I don't remember that in the movie." Neil Simon mentions these kind of people in "45 Seconds from Broadway"...

Karen Mason in Sunset Boulevard...although I never would have paid to see Sunset Boulevard.

Patti's just bitter and I'm sure when they film Sunset Boulevard (God forbid!) she won't be seeing that, either... AND Patti has more bitterness towards Webber than Madonna, which is probably why she hasn't seen the movie.

Anika Noni Rose would make a great Elphaba

Ethel Merman as Elphaba Ethel Merman as Roxie Hart

Charlotte D'Amboise in anything Karen Ziemba in anything

Harvey as Julian Marsh

Harvey as the Beast in B&B

Sherie Rene Scott would be a good Eva Peron...since she doesn't speak, we won't know that she's soft-spoken

I've seen both the stage and the film, and to me, they are equally just as good. The stage show has moments that, of course, cannot be captured on film, and vice versa. Personaly, i think Madonna was good, although she did not come off with the strength and power that the real Eva did. She actually played her a little bit weak - even still, this is one of her better movies. I thought the cinematography and costumes were also brilliant. Of course, I was lucky enough to see this on a Ginormous ...

Amen Betty!!! He would be PERFECT for that role!!!! But Harvey as the wizard in Wicked...I think not...

I have heard some REALLY bad Fantine's in the past (including the Australian chick on the Complete Cast Recording) This role is different for Daphne, and to be honest I would have NO desire to see this production if she wasn't in it. I was a little miffed when I found out she was playing Fantine, because now I have to save up a crapload of money and fly to NYC to see it. I love her and everything she does, and even if she sounds bad, she's still a joy to watch on stage. She was amazing in Ren...

Has happened: Bernadette Peters as Mama Rose Drew Lachey as Mark Patti Lupone as Mrs. Lovett (Sorry, but Patti plays "Patti" in everything...where are her characterizations???)

Wait a minute... They cut "Ain't No PArty????????? I was so looking forward to Anika singing that! Dammit!!! I love Loretta Devine's version and all (because I LOVE me some Loretta Devine), but I wanna hear it sung different (and not straining like Heather Headley's horrid rendition) Oh well...

Walking past the Viacom studios, where all the teens are standing outside preparing for TRL, in the middle of the afternoon, mind you, a man turns to his family and says: "Oh look, this must be where they film The Today Show"
