Why wasn't Donna Murphy on the cast album since she played the role first? 

Wow. Thanks for this. Jaw. Drop.

Wait, what? There was an Aida walkout?

"A Change In Me" from Beauty and the Beast.

Thank you!!! It's been driving me crazy...

On the OBCR of Chicago, does anyone know what Velma is saying during the first drum break in "I Can't Do It Alone"? 

Thank you!!! Although now I have to go eat some humble pie. 

A mannequin? I don't remember that at all. My friend claimed that Che sang "you let down your people Evita" to an actress in the coffin. Not sure how we got on the topic. There was wine involved. 

Thank you. She said she saw the tour and there was. I disagreed. I will now go gloat.

In the original Broadway production of Evita, was there an actress in a coffin during the opening number? Fighting with a friend over this one and can't find anything on YouTube. 

Thank you for this! I love LITTLE ME and these pictures are a treasure. 

Ah! That explains it! Thanks for the insight, PoisonIvy...I don't know the show well enough to pinpoint what went wrong, but I was pretty positive she doesn't say "Help!" out of the blue.

For those who were there at the matinee yesterday, did Lauren go up on her lines during the Ascot scene? There was a long pause and then she said, "Help!" There was another pause and it sounded like someone offstage was feeding her the line. Another pause and then what seemed like some convoluted dialogue before they got back on track.  

I have to say I was completely won over by the production and the entire cast. And I have to say I thought Lauren was a revelation.&nbs

Does anyone remember the set design for the song "It Isn't Working"? I saw a tour of the show a million years ago and just came across the souvenier program. In it, there is a picture of that song and there are skyscrapers hanging upstage. But instead of the buildings reaching all the way to the ground, they turn into swaths of fabric. Was this just a way to cut costs for the tour? Or was this the design on Broadway as well?
