Check out the photo coverage of Lauren Kennedy in TELL ME ON A SUNDAY which opens tonight on BWW too!

What a great article! My mom actually coverd her in SOUTH PACIFIC. I would love to see Flo return to Broadway!

Dear Broadway World, I am not quite sure how I have missed this thread for so long but I would like to thank you for keeping me glued to my computer for the past 5 hours. All I can say is brilliant! It made me laugh, it made me laugh and cry and let's face it, it was better than any version of CATS displayed in this thread. Thank you, thank you, thank you! with much love, your Matty-J

The talent that Papermill has assembled for their production is absolutely incredible! The cast is really superb, the orchestra was great and all of the technical aspects were very well done. As I stated before, 1776 is not one of my favourite musicals, I don't even really view it so much as a musical as a play with music. Most of the musical numbers don't further the plot in a driving way and because you are dealing with so many characters it is hard to really feel for most if not any of the...

I am going to the opening tonight. I haven't seen the show since the revival in the late 90's. While not a favourite show of mine I am very excited to see this production! Really ah-mazing cast and it looks like a beautiful production as well. I will try and post my thoughts on it tomorrow.

expect a press release any day now and get hyped because VANITIES is happening kids!

I shall be there as well. Very excited to hear some of these girls sing!

Not over and done yet. Work is still happening on bringing it to Broadway but honestly it may be in the autumn and not in the spring before it surfaces.

Let's not forget that the creative team is still making adjustments to the script and score. It's new incarnation will be stronger from what was seen in Pasadena.

Anyone going tonight? I am stoked to see it. I have heard nothing but fabulousness about it.

BALLROOM I'd also love to see THE LIFE re-visited. oh yeah... and my version of THE ROBBER BRIDEGROOM!

While this has been discussed several times at length, I cannot help but respond... LaChiusa wins hands down. That show should have won several TONY awards, it was brilliant. While neither production was 100% faithful to Joseph Moncure March's poem, LaChuisa's version resonates along the lines of the piece so much better than Lippa's.

He wrote it because he wanted it in there, a coda of sorts not because he was pressured into it by the producers. Also, I wouldn't call it a happily ever after ending either. I for one am very excited about this show!

I know it was the first preview and would love details!

AUGUST:OSAGE COUNTY

Not the weakest link by far (*Mario Lopez*) but still not a good Cassie in my opinion.

The OBC. No one can top Laurie Beechman! I live for her "Letting out a mighty roar!"

I guess not bad for high school kids. It still kinda makes me cringe to see Fosse choreography executed poorly. However what bothers me more is that Ponytail Girl has no ponytail.

oh GOD don't even get me started on this!!!

That is great info Michael Colby! I would love it if you had anymore you felt like sharing on this production!
