Profile for MermansMan

& It's EGERMAN for the win! haha

From Follies- All Things Bright and Beautiful, Can That Boy Foxtrot (Though I love I'm Still Here 10X's more), Updown/Downtown. Bang!- ALNM Smile Girls- Gypsy Penny in My Pocket- Hello, Dolly! Judge's Johanna- Sweeney Todd (Though of course, it has been reinstated since.) My Crazy Heart- Women on the Verge

I think I just vomited in my mouth a little... She IS, however, Committed.... She should BE committed!!!!!!!

I may be slaughtered for saying this, but I enjoy the 1967 cast of Dolly, led by "Miss Purlie Mae" outshines the 1964 cast led by Dolly Levi... I mean Carol Channing... I always get those two mixed up. lol. I also agree with the 2008 Revival of Sout Pacific.

My understanding is this- The show was not VASTLY changed from it's original 1990's Off-Broadway production, thus, the Tony Committee called it a Revival... It also happened the year before with Little Shop of Horrors... Though they never made an official Broadway Bow in their original runs, they were presented in generally the same structure. (Other than production values. Costumes, Set Design, Etc...)

Just so I'm perfectly clear, we are speaking of a musicalization of Rocky Balboa... Right?

Thanks for the heads up Jordan!

I warn you, some questionable choices... lol My workout playlist includes: The Baker's Wife The Boy From Oz Chicago Dirty Rotten Scoundrels Dreamgirls Evita (Disco Album) The Full Monty Ghost- I'm REALLY diggin' this right now... Guys and Dolls- 1976 Revival Gypsy- 2008 Revival Jerry's Girls Jesus Christ Superstar La Cage- 2010 Revival Patti LuPone LIVE Mamma Mia Sail Away- OLC Side By Side By Sondheim- OAC Steve & Eydie- Together on Broadway Wicked Witches Of Eastwick- OAC Women on the Verge...

I don't know much classical theatre. If you are willing to shift to contemporary, the opening scene of Beyond Therapy is a good, strong scene. It's a comedy written by Christopher Durang.

I favor Vahan Khanzadian and the Papermill Cast.

May I suggest a rule? For the more experianced players, character names, lead players and song titles, Theatres played but they all have to be connected to one show... Let me explain... A- Annie Get Your Gun B- Bernadette Peters C- Charlie Davenport D- Doi'n What Comes Naturally E- Ethel Merman F- Frank Butler etc etc etc...

When I pre-ordered La Cage last year, it was about three or four days after the release date when I received it. (I live on Long Island)

Sweeney Todd pops into my mind first. La Cage always has a fun finale. I also love the ending of Gypsy. When done right, it gives me chills.

Mister Matt = WINNING! haha =)

Sweeney Todd- OBC & Philharmonic Hello, Dolly- OBC & Pearl Bailey Record The Baker's Wife- W/ LuPone Gypsy- OBC, 1974 Revival & 2008 Revival La Cage- OBC & Revival Follies- OBC & Paper-Mill My Fair Lady- OLC & LRC The King & I- 1996 Revival Coco & Applause- OBCs (Guilty Pleasures)

IMHO, Kiss of the Spiderwoman & I'd love to see Scottsboro Boys make a triumphant return (After it wins it's Tonys...) Ican dream, can't I?

Carol Channing in the '95 Revival of Dolly, Glenn Close in Sunset Blvd, Patti LuPone's first preview of Gypsy at the St. James, Matthew Broderick & Nathan Lane in The Producers, opening weekend of John Doyle's Sweeney Todd... Alot more, but these are just a few that stick out in my memory.

I have heard that she was the original Wendla in a workshop, but I have never heard or seen any performance.
