Last minute - extra ticket for Warhorse at 2 PM
Jun 23 2012, 10:02:52 AM
Hi all - haven't posted on here in a while, but still an avid reader. We have an extra ticket for the matinee of Warhorse today at 2 PM, so I know it's short notice, but if you think you might be interested, PM me and I can share details.

I thought You Won't Succeed on Broadway was really entertaining to see live, but I don't really listen to it much on the recording. I like the song "Meeskite" from Cabaret, though.

re: Who have you gotten stuff back from?
May 28 2006, 11:56:24 AM
Let's see, I got stuff from Patti LuPone, Donna Lynne Champlin, and on a side note, Sean Hayes from Will and Grace. Those are the only people I've written to, though. Maybe I should write to more people.

Ah, well, keep up the good work, pip pip, cheerio. Too bad no one else had anything to say about the play, I think I've got all the analysis I could muster.
**EDIT** Yay, someone else said something! w00t!

Yup yup, I concur! Minor threadjack here: I don't know what your avatar is, but something about it is delightfully zany...and this is the point where I've been writing so much BS for my paper that I want to fade away like Rosencrantz and Guildenstern. ::Cue Absurdity fade::

Aww, I guess we'll have to keep the discussion alive. I went bowling tonight, so I wasn't able to contribute. I'm writing a paper right now, but I'd rather talk about this. I agree with the parallel between the "players" from the play and from Pippin. I love "play within a play" concepts. Our university did a production of "Noises Off!" recently, and I was skeptical. However, it was phenomenal and I laughed until I cried. But anyhow, back to R & G. I thought about it today, and I think I

The Questions game has become a common pasttime for my roommates and me, especially when we're all sitting around avoiding doing any work. It's quite fun, and I feel smart because it's featured in a play! Kill two birds with one stone! Oh, and I love the Player. I'm not entirely sure why, but it's a great character. Also, as a random side note, Guildenstern is my favorite of the two.

Hmm, that's interesting that they may be dead at the beginning. I've never heard that interpretation but I suppose it could be argued. I really need to watch and read that again, as soon as this year is over and summer break is here, I'll catch up on my "Theatre of the Absurd" readings!

I suppose I should put some sort of spoiler warning here in case anyone is inspired by the discussion to go read the book.
So here ya go **SPOILER**
Yeah, that is really creepy. I can't remember, is it the same in the book as it is with the movie, where the nooses drop down and their bodies are just kinda hanging there?

Haha, everytime I think of this book, I remember back to senior English. We had that girl that's in everyone's english class in high school, the one that thinks she is Shakespeare's reincarnate (sans manhood), and that she can interpret every piece of literature on Earth. She said something to the effect of, "The coin means that money doesn't matter to Rosencrantz and Guildenstern because they just throw it around." I thought that was a pretty crap-tacular analysis seeing as how it had no bea

What did you think of the scenes at the first with flipping the coin? I remeber discussing it as, that it comes up as heads all the time shows that nothing in R & G's lives is chance and that everything is already scripted. I remember when they have a discussion about the existence or lack of free will. It seems like one of the characters (Guildenstern?) just wanted to go home and forget everything, but the other one insisted that they could go forward and change their fate. My analysis is q

I read the play senior year of high school and thought it was amazing. I bought it on DVD after that. I don't know if you've seen the movie, but I particularly love the Questions scene where they rally back and forth on the court, it kind of looks like a tennis court. I wish I had some more literary discussion to add, but it was two years ago that I read it. I agree though, it's quite good!

Haha, as much as I like to make fun of the state, it's not that bad, despite the fact that the general trend is hardcore conservative. When people from other states come here, which I mainly see during football games, they always say that the people are very nice and hospitable, so that makes me feel good! Granted, there is not a lot to do here that's just being offered, you have to get creative and make your own fun, which makes having crazy friends a very good thing. Someone coming from a b

Hey, zoran, we must be neighbors if you go to OCU. Ok, well, not really neighbors if you count Moore, but close enough! Boomer Sooner, and all that jazz...

Well, I live in Oklahoma (only until I graduate, of course, then I'm out of here), but I like to think the float was built in honor of me.  Seriously, we don't have much to look forward to in Oklahoma, so we apparently have to put a float in to commemorate our centennial two years before it actually happens (2007). But hey, I love me some Kristin Chenoweth, and she's from Oklahoma, so yay for that.

Mine is "Take Me or Leave Me" or "Out Tonight," which is currently my ringtone.

K, well, it doesn't make me cry because it's that emotional of a song, but Amneris' part in "A Step Too Far" made me sob today because it reminded me of some relationship troubles I'm having. Boo...

NY Lestat previews question
Nov 13 2005, 06:27:34 PM
I'm hoping to be able to be in NY when the Lestat previews start in March and was thinking of buying a ticket. I have a question though, because I don't know much about previews. On the first previews in New York, will they actually perform the show as complete as possible in order to see if there are any things to be worked out, or will some cast members just come on stage and sing some songs?

re: Major lyric problem!
Nov 10 2005, 10:59:45 PM
Well, scratch that, we finally figured it out. It's Gary Coleman on the Avenue Q recording. I think I was associating the tone it gets delivered with with the "She's my sister" from La Vie Boheme. Yeah, I know, those aren't similar at all, but oh well, at least we figured it out. Cheers!
