Apparently she insulted someone or something like that... I got it second hand.

I saw this show on tour, and thought it was an amazing dance show. I have a hard time considering it a musical... to me it's more like a "jazz/modern ballet with live music". I'm not cutting it down. It loved it. I'd see it again, and would love to see it on B'way. Not surprised it's still running.

Back in 1991 I almost made it to the Fringe Festival, friends had a show there. Unfortunately I got sick and had to cancel... have been wanting to go ever since... maybe next year.

I knew they had to fill those "empty" slots in the schedule. I'm so excited... a little miffed that the announcement came when I'm NOT in Seattle. But I think I just might be buying season tickets to the Paramount too... Re: Seattle theater, yes, it's not the quality of NYC theater. Like bj said, that talent moves TO NY. BUT... how are people going to develop their talent and grow and get better if they are not given the chance? Most actors begin somewhere, and I for one love watching our loc...

At Patti LuPone's "Matters of the Heart" in Seattle, a lot of people started leaving DURING ACT 1, while she was singing. If you don't like the show (and it actually was a wonderful show), at least have the decency to wait until intermission. It was amazing the number of people getting up and walking out in the middle of a song.

There are plenty of shows that have not survived Broadway (or even been there) but do well in the community theater/regional circuit. "Working", "Do Black Patent Leather Shoes Really Reflect Up", "Honk" and "Return to the Forbidden Planet" come to mind.

Might be able to see it when I'm in DC next weekend. Is this the same tour that will be in Seattle in a couple of months?

Patti said the same thing here in Seattle last week...

Great pix. I am truly crossing my fingers that the show does well. The one thing that bothered me: can't they find a better place for the mic? It looks like she has a huge zit on her forehead. Just sayin'.

BJ, Ugh... I can't find the exact quote now, but I seem to recall that Cassie's song and dance were altered a bit to fit the replacements, at least at first. The costume was also adjusted for Ann... she wore it lower and the opening was on the opposite side.

(that's twice it happens on this page...)

It's listed twice... once for $2.99 and right below it for $9.99, but I can't tell the difference between them. Are these new dvds?

Hm... a friend of mine just got cast... not a principal part.

Wow... sounds wonderful. Thanks for such an indepth review. Can't wait for a chance to see it.

A local theater did "Return to the Forbidden Planet" and it was great fun. Campy, fun songs, and Shakespeare. Can't go wrong with that! I strongly recommend it.

I haven't heard anything about it, but I'd be brave and see Lennon. You know, seeing the pre-B'way tryout and stuff.

I don't now him personally, but we have many friends in common. Everyone always says what a good and "real" guy he is. Very happy for his success.

In the ACL we just did, Larry (Sheri in our production) sat on a stool on stage practically for the entire show. But I think you can make the most of it. The first time I did the show, the guy that played Larry really went with it and made it a very memorable part. Congratulations!

Woo-hoo! This sort'a makes up for being snubbed by the Wicked tour. Tiffy... waiting for you with open arms!

In my limited performance experience... hardest: Bobby in A Chorus Line. I've never played funny before. most fun on stage: West Side Story. I was Chino. It's not a "fun" show per se, but the experience/cast was definitely the most fun I've ever had.
