Perfect! Thank you so much!

Can anyone recommend a good pair of opera glasses for a decent price? When I look on Amazon, there are just so many, and I don't know what to even look for in a good pair.

Ok, so it's been a long time since I've posted anything on these boards, but when I have a question, I know who to turn to! :)My amazing mother-in-law bought me tickets to see Hello Dolly! on June 14th matinee. The seats are BALC J 14 and 16. I realize these are rear balcony seats, but I'm not familiar with the Shubert. I assume its a very large theatre. My question is...Does anyone know how the view is from these seats....should we get opera glasses to bring with us? Any help you can provide...

I youtubed Young's performance of "heaven on their minds" and found it one of the more boring takes on the song that I've heard! Plus, at times, he sounded a bit sharp. He's fun to look at, but that's about it.

Does anyone know how Alice's voice is doing currently? In her newest single released on iTunes, "Beautiful Eyes", she sounds quite a bit better. Has anyone heard her sing live in any of her concerts? Being out of N2N has given her some vocal rest, I hope. :)

Oh! Well, I can definitely see that more! :)

Interesting... Would Anne Hathaway play Cosette..or Eponine? Even though I adore her acting skills, how well can she sing? When she sang on the Academy Awards, I thought she was just 'ok'. I realize it's Hollywood, so they are going to pick big names, but I really hope they don't butcher this like Sweeney Todd - just to have big names. Yes, I do know that Anne is a MUCH better singer than Helena Bonham Carter, but still. Isn't Helena in talks to play Madame Thenardier too? If she does win the...

I, too, am shocked that acl was down on the Rocky Horror revival. It stands out as one of my favorite nights at the theatre!

Side Show - during Tunnel of Love. The buildup in the middle of the song...Emily:"I am yours..you are mine....its a sin...its divine..." Alice: "I want miine..." Emily: "so diviiine" Alice: "WHERE IS MIIIINE!!!" Major chills everytime. Alice sure did have a belt on her, didn't she? You can hear the emotion in her voice...it's just f'ing amazing.

1998 was a great year for the Tony's...there were so many stand-out performances. Wasn't that also the year that Alice Ripley and Emily Skinner were nominated together for Side Show? At the time, I remember thinking that they were robbed. Don't get me wrong, I love me some Audra McDonald - but I have a feeling if Side Show ran longer (and at the time of the Tony's broadcast) the girls would have been more of a contender for Best Actress.

Side Show :: Daisy - Sherie Rene Scott Violet - Julia Murney Buddy - Norbert Leo Butz Terry - Cheyenne Jackson Jake - Brian Stokes Mitchell

I second the idea of Sigourney Weaver. She is a fantastic dramatic actor and I'm a big fan. "Prayers for Bobby" anyone?

Well, for me - anytime I get to see Patti perform live, I don't consider it a waste. If I had the opportunity to see this show again, would I? Yes. Because I'm a Patti fan. I just would have perferred it be more of a concert, rather than trying to intertwine some weak story in there somewhere. And the office chair choreography was very cute.I agree with that. :)

I've said it before...this show is drab and boring. And I LOVE Ms. LuPone.

LOL and I think I even saw Carol Channing thrown in the mix at one point, too! :-p

best12bars, I can see what you are saying about the music in Pete's Dragon being aimed more towards kids. And I think a part of why I love the songs so much is because of my childhood memories..haha Perhaps if the first time I saw it was as an adult, I may not have enjoyed the music as much. :) And I couldn't agree more about the extended footage of Portobello Road! It seemed to go on...and on...and on. Heck - I remember watching it as a kid without the added footage and fast forwarding throu...

I disagree about Bedknobs having better music than Pete's Dragon. With the exception of "Age of not Believing", "Beautiful Briny", and "Portobello Road", the music is kind of....eh. "Eglentine" and "Substituiary Locomotion" are both just very repetitive..catchy, but repetitive. And I suppose they would add back in the cut songs which would help. Practically every number in Pete's Dragon is great! It think this has great potential for a stage show...with opportunities for big dance numbers - L...

I, for one, think that Next to Normal should be the next movie musical made. There was talk of it for awhile. I think it could be done very well.

I think Bedknobs would make a very fun stage show...but I agree with Capnhook - Pete's Dragon should be first! The music in Pete's Dragon is fantastic... Casting ideas would be fun to hear on this - - Especially for the Gogans! I could see Jackie Hoffman as Mrs. Gogan -

"And his voice is not that great. Definitely not great enough to handle this score. Daniel can barely handle it himself." You say this as if Radcliffe can sing better than Criss. Radcliffe sings the songs in tune...that's about all you can say about his singing ability. Criss can actually SING.
