Everyone chill out, seriously. They will be making a mistake if they premiere Young Frankenstein in Seattle, though with the Chicago theaters continually booking themselves up, especially with open-runs (ie Wicked, and possibly The Color Purple and Jersey Boys), it does remain a possibility. Again, nothing is official. And I remember they originally announced the closing of The Producers followed up immediately with the desire to slot Young Frankenstein there. Just wait and see until official...

I saw Asphalt Beach twice at NU (hehe hi stagemaster, how's home going?) and it was absolutely fabulous. From the listings of songs that you mentioned, they chose easily the best ones from the show, though the rest of the show is awesome as well. Hope the concert was great, wish I could've gone (but alas, in a different state....::sigh::).

I'm either going on November 2nd or 16th with Northwestern, hopefully the 2nd 'cause there's supposed to be a talk-back with Frank Galati for the Northwestern group::squeeee::

My high school cut "The Rumor" from Fiddler as well. It just doesn't work well as a number, and serves no real purpose in the show. I've heard that a lot of professional productions sometimes cut it as well...

And just to think, not too long ago, she was the star of BKLYN....

I wonder what a scaled-down Les Miz would be like...only if there was a way to do it properly, of course.

::Side to Wolfram/everyone:: Don't you just love the new logo? It's so much more visually interesting than the old one. Plus it'll look better on the CD cover Wolfram, I do believe we had the same idea to use it as our avatar.

Whoever said the Pajama Game is likely to close soon is out of their minds. It's been running near, at, or above full capacity for almost as long as it's been open. Highly unlikely candidate for closing. My votes go to Barefoot and Ring.

I toast with you both as well, and agree with Jasonf about the music! The thought of Stephanie belting Boublil and Schonberg makes me drool with anticipation of something absolutely astounding...Why isn't it October yet?

We're not terribly windy in October...though it depends on the time of the month...Hell, for all I know, it might get in the seventies whenever you visit. We have strange weather here (it snowed four inches two days ago and today it thunderstormed and was about fifty). And Popular, why Chicago? Simply because we've been shown to be better for tryouts than other cities that could be considered Heh, but seriously, I think I read an article when papers were first getting wind of the project that...

Tir Na Nog - How in the world did you get a recording of Sunday in the Park With George at Ravinia Festival? I was told they didn't record it....

"Your Daddy's Son" and "Back to Before" - both from Ragtime "Defying Gravity" - Wicked All of Marie's songs in Marie Christine "I Dreamed a Dream" - Les Mis

I second the Weisslers, at least for recent times.

It's still coming, but no one knows when, or if they do, no one's saying. They've had creative team problems off and on and have had to cancel their tryout at the Chicago Theater that would have opened at the end of last month. The word is that there still will be a tryout somewhere, but it's unknown as to where, and then likely open on Broadway sometime during the 06-07 season.

Yes, he's Ahrens-less for Loving Repeating because all the lyrics are written by Gertrude Stein. However, the project after that, Glorious Ones, they're working together again.

Margo, there seems to be a constant of them simply avoiding having to define Special Event every single season...without fail. Will they really change their ways now? As for Chita's nom, maybe they'll be kind and increase the number of Leading Actress nominations, as the Golden Globes seemed to have done this year for the Best Actor in Musical/Comedy (though I sure as hell don't know why they bothered). But I doubt it, as they're going to end up excluding marvelous performances as it stands a...

::sighs:: And this is how shows that deserve nominations don't get nominated.

...what in the world would be considered for Special Theatrical Event if this isn't? Honestly, what will they nominate in that category? Without Chita's show there, it's going to look pretty empty as this season stands so far...

Well first Boublil and Schonberg are bringing their newest "The Pirate Queen" before they could reconsider the idea of bringing "Martin Guerre" here, though if they brought it, hopefully they'd return to the old version.

Well while LCT didn't record Chronicle of a Death Foretold when LaChiusa had it there, it did for Marie Christine. 1 in 2 chance? Mayhaps depends on popularity, plus both of them have had a lot more press recently, what with SWIWS for him, and LITP for them...but we'll see.
