broadwaytourist: There is a Curves Broadway tape! It's hysterically awful. Everything is disco-remixed.

Through about the WEIRDEST glitch I've ever experienced, my last post somehow got posted under ray-andallthatjazz86's account. ??? Has that ever happened to anyone else? Anyway, my post simply elaborated on ashley's with character names: Marc Kudisch - Flaminio Scala Natalie Venetia Belcon - Columbina Erin Davie - Isabella Andreini John Kassir - Dottore David Patrick Kelly - Pantalone Julyana Soelistyo - Armanda Ragusa Jeremy Webb - Francesco Andreini All, except for Kudisch and Davie, were i...

Well, I'll offer my story as consolation, I didn't know there was a Broadway cast recording until I'd already purchased the Off-Broadway cast. I'd go buy the Broadway one but unfortunately I'm not made of money. Oh well. Somehow, I think I'll survive.

This looks fun, I'll play, though I'm not exactly qualified.

This is horrible, how absolutely heartbreaking. My thoughts are certainly with her and her family.

I'm subscribing, but I can't understand why they would put Sweeney at Heinz Hall. It's going to eat it up like it did Spelling Bee. It may have eaten up Sweet Charity as well, only I can't recall because I think I fell asleep during that one.

I'll also chime in with High School Musical. I was a cheerleader. Never I have dreaded rehearsals for a show so much. The audiences loved it though.

I'm seeing it on the first Wednesday in May. and probably again after that. I'm so excited for this show.

I would say bring your dad, then he can pay for stuff.

Wow, she sounds incredible...! I wish I could go see her, looks fantastic.

I'm seeing it tonight! Looking forward to it a lot.

The sets, lighting, and costumes were far too "Hey, weren't the 60s fun?" The choreography was... well there aren't really any words for it. Talented cast - I thought Christina was great - but the whole production seemed more focused on a kind of "Isn't this show cute!" mentality rather than telling the story. It felt depersonalized. It was a fun few hours but not much else.

Called people while onstage during the cell phone number of High School Musical.

It is at the O'Reilly, at the Pittsburgh Public Theatre. And I am so excited. I've heard one song from it, "I Was Here," sung by Philip Quast on his CD and it is fantastic. Can't waitttt.

I loved Pig Farm. I understand that I am in the minority with that sentiment though.

The CLO has slipped so far downhill... their last few seasons have just been... lame. Dear fellow Pittsburghers: go to the Public instead! Oh and also, I go to the high school in that article mentioned as doing it. So, uhm, yeah, my school is doing it too. Only not in the spring like that article says.

I adore Pippin... though not the part where "trifiling" and "life-a-ling" are rhymed.

SDav, the first thing I thought of when seeing this thread was the end of Drowsy... so no, that is not stupid. Well, if it is stupid, you are least not alone in being stupid. I know exactly what you mean... I teared up a little bit too.

Goodbye, Scoundrels! You didn't move me to tears (except through laughter once or twice) and you didn't change the world or revolutionize theatre as we know it, but you were a fun, entertaining show and that's a good thing too. You'll be missed.

It's honestly not that often where you see a revival of show that doesn't just copy what worked from the original. Revivals of shows that I've seen before were wonderful, yes, but none really got me to look at the show in a different way... to consider a different aspect, to challenge my preconcieved notions, the way Sweeney did. The actor/musician aspect was not only fascinating to watch (I loved to see the seemless transitions whenever one person switched with another on the piano, how the ...
