re: Which was the first Broadway show you saw?

Jun 22, 2008 — 4:35:57 PM

The first show I saw on Broadway was some splashy revue with Sandy Duncan in it at Radio City (wish I could remember the name of it). The first actual musical/play was "My One and Only" with Tommy Tune and Twiggy. I did get to see "Evita," "Agnes of God," and "The Fantasticks" during that stay as well. It was my first trip to NYC. :)

Does anyone know if licensing is available for amateur productions of "Starlight Express?" If so, who owns the rights? Thanks for your help!

Suggestions?

Anybody have any suggestions for a comedy along the line of "Lend Me a Tenor" or a musical revue for a community theatre to perform? I'm looking to cast around 15 or less. I've been looking, but nothing strikes me yet. Any personal thought on the show welcome too. Thanks for your help!

I just saw it! As many times as I have heard her sing that song, I still always get a little choked up. I wish I could have seen her in "Dreamgirls" back then.

re: First Professional Theatre experience

My limited "professional" experience was doing shows at the Barn Theatre in Augusta, Michigan. Never made it on stage, I was a techie. I ran lights for several shows and was ASM. As a typical apprentice I also worked box office, costumes and played for the bar show. It was one of the best summers of my life. I loved it and learned so much!

I've been trying to get a copy! I love the music and would love to hear this recording to compare. Where did you find it?

I am curious. If the show is "Live" from Lincoln Center, I wonder why it is showing in Cincinnati at 9 pm? I am afraid that it will come on at 8 instead, so I will be looking to make sure. I definitely don't want to miss it!

re: Matthew Morrison on Law & Order:CI right now

He was just on the one episode and played a drug dealer. I thought he did a nice job, he only got about 5 minutes air time, if that. But I still enjoyed seeing him :)

I loved seeing Matt on "Guiding Light" this past Friday too!

re: The Barn Theatre in Augusta, Michigan

I'm a Barnie from a long time ago too. I only got to work there one summer but it remains one of the best memories of my lifetime. I had a really good time and learned so much. It was the kick off to my career as a high school drama director. It was some hard work, but I really enjoyed myself. The Ragotzy's are good people. I'm anxious to see what shows they are doing this summer. Congratulations and best of luck to you!

re: Julia Murney as Elphaba

Mar 9, 2006 — 1:29:50 AM

I just got home from the show in Cincinnati and am too tired to post a detailed review, I will try to do that soon. The show was FANTASTIC!!! Although I know the music well, it was my first time to see the show and I absolutely loved it. Julia Murney was phenomenal, her voice perfectly suits the role of Elphaba. I was brought to tears during "Defying Gravity" and "For Good" (well just to name a few times) OMG I am still so overwhelmed I think I could cry again.

Can anyone tell me anything about this show? I've heard the name several times recently and know nothing about it. Thanks for any information!
