Does anyone know if Shrek tour in Chicago does any kind of rush or drawing before the shows? I've tried calling the theatre's box office, but they don't have a phone number... Any info would be greatly appreciated!

Has anyone here ever been to this before?

This makes me really sad. I saw the show in previews and thought Amy was great. I wish her nothing but the best.

No it was in another thread, I just couldn't respond at the time. Sorry to confuse/accuse :)

haha, starlight---i totally agree

After reading countless posts here on how "bad" Rock of Ages was...I went out on a limb and saw it because I really do like 80's music. I was really surprised by how much I loved it. No, it's not a deep piece of theater, but it's employing a lot of actors, techs, etc and it's getting people who normally don't go see shows into a theater. In the economic situation we're in and all of the suffering theaters around the country, we should be happy...heck, even jumping for joy, that new shows are ...

I saw it earlier this week and LOVED it! Stanley is fantastic and although no one can ever beat Cheyenne Jackson is those short shorts, Von Essen was good. The sisters were also hilarious. Again, loved it!

I saw her in Knoxville, TN. She was a guest artist for the Knoxville Symphony Orchestra.

oh my god, i know! I had never heard the song before...I didn't even think she needed the piano.

sorry...something weird happened... and she was on FIRE tonight even though the audience was filled with a bunch of old, crotchety people who were not responsive. Seriously, that woman is 60 and sounds phenomenal and looks like she's 35! I think the thing that I loved so much is that she was so alive and present in her songs. I know she's sang those songs thousands of times (and i've seen some of them before) and she totally surprised me with the different colors and little nuances she change...

they both seem like such sweet, nice people.

As much as I hate to think that she's going to be playing young, "hot", blonde girls for the rest of her life, I think getting the role will benefit her. It's a job...and in this kind of uncertain economy, those are hard to come by.

Good for her! http://www.broadwayworld.com/viewcolumn.cfm?colid=33832

i second natalie weiss LOVE HER!

LOVED IT! I loved Toby, he was my favorite part. Although, it was graphic and I couldn't watch the killings...too much for me, but i'm VERY squeamish.

hey I'm writing a paper on auditioning for musical theatre in NYC. I know about going to open calls, auditioning for agents, etc..but is there something that many new performers do to get noticed by the biz? Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

....well, i like the song...reminds me of frou frou. but it doesn't sound like her...

don't worry, i will still see it! sorry for being so bitchy, it was a long night :)

i thought the thread meant it was about the breakdown of the character description, not the actual character's emotional breakdown.
