RippedMan said: "No offense to cast but I wouldn't consider any of those men to be "rock singers" so why they'd be cast in this I don't know?"EXACTLY. This show would be better served with legitimate rock singers.

Saw the first performance on Friday night. Didn’t really do it for me. The score wasn’t very strong, and the book was just a copy of the movie. Drew Gehling was weak, definitely not a good fit for him. Anika Larsen was a strong point, very good in the role. Solea Pfeiffer was good, but the material she was given wasn’t that great. Her big song (“Morocco&rdquo wasn’t spectacular, but maybe it’ll grow on me with further listening. That brings us to Colin Donnell. I had one big problem with him ...

AlfieByrne, I believe you have Donna Vivino and Whitney Bashor mixed up. Whitney sang a very nice "Not a Day Goes By"; Donna was delivering the train wreck of a performance in the first party scene. This production felt like community theatre. Arden should stick to posting childish Tweets about how he wasted six months in Hunchback. Or maybe he should stick with the whole sign language thing.

Saw this over the weekend. It was awful. I've seen hundreds of shows, and this was the first time I've ever left at Intermission. No chance this will ever see Broadway. My turds have more charisma than the guy in this show. Emily was fine. Score was forgettable.

It's fun to hear everyone talking about the La Jolla bootleg of Zhivago. Rumor has it that the same handsome devil that recorded that bootleg also recorded an audio bootleg of the original Page-to-Stage production in La Jolla, a video bootleg of the staged production in La Jolla, and an audio bootleg of the Broadway production. But these are just rumors. Certainly wasn't me. Oh, and there is a studio recording of a few songs. I have the studio recording of "It Comes As No Surprise" with Lena ...

Has anyone heard about Lewis' performance schedule? He's scheduled to perform with the Pasadena Pops in Los Angeles on June 7th. Want to buy tickets to Phantom but want to ensure he'll be in the show.

For what it's worth, Jewel just tweeted about the difficulty of singing "Steps on the Palace." Cinderella?

I viewed the BluRay last night and was shocked to see that Ramin has apparently re-recorded the vocals to much of his performance. He sounds much different than in the theater. I have a DVD copy of the original production shown in movie theaters, and his vocal performance is VERY different (and better, in my opinion) than on the BluRay. Quite a few camera angels were changed as well, which was to be expected, but I was surprised to hear new vocals from The Phantom. I was really looking forwar...
