It's a 50/50 chance with the American Airlines stage door; I've stage-doored three times so far, and thus far most have left the theater from the front [through the lobby], but there's no guarantee that they'll leave through the front.

I got tickets for [tos] at the BC/EFA PIK-A-TKT today. A number of people got them too

I agree, Betty Buckley was amazing, but I'm also partial to Elaine Paige.

In no particular order:

Candide
Dirty Rotten Scoundrels
The Beautiful Game
Spamalot
Hello Dolly!
The Pajama Game
Phantom of the Opera
Sunset Blvd.

A Little Fall of Rain, Bring Him Home, Epilogue - Les Miserables
I Miss the Music - Curtains
Will I?, I'll Cover You (reprise) - Rent
Another Winter in a Summer Town - Grey Gardens
Bill - Showboat
All The Love I Have - The Beautiful Game
I Know The Truth - Aida

I prefer the Original London Cast Recording, but the OBC is worth getting. A Little Night Music is probably my second favorite Sondheim score (after Sweeney Todd).

Another Winter in A Summer Town
The Bitch of Living
Around the World
A Big Black Lady Stops The Show

Another Winter wins hands down.

Hey Simon,

I saw By Jeeves on Broadway, and I thoroughtly enjoyed it. I have both the London and Broadway cast recordings, and would love to see it on DVD, but apparently it's not sold in the US, nor it is in region 1 DVD (which my DVD player only plays). I would love to have a copy of it (if possible)

Hi Simon,

It's rare to find any Sunset merchandise anywhere but on ebay, but I am one of those rare people how have the Debbie Byrne AIWNSG promo CD (I forget how I actually obtained it - it was so long ago). I also have a multitude of singles and other recordings (if you know what I mean). I have stacks of (American) playbills with Betty Buckley and Elaine Paige, a few window cards (even the rare red poster featuring Alan Campbell and Elaine Paige - signed by both!), and souvenir broch

The Phantom of Manhattan is possibly the worst book I've ever read - it's not even worth the paper it's printed on. Between the changing 1st person narratives to the bland ending, it's poorly written and confusing to follow.

If it were fanfiction, I'd dismiss it as a feeble attempt at continuing the Phantom story, but seeing that it's written by a reputable author, it makes me wonder if he read the original novel. Also, considering the fact tha

I saw this production of Hello, Dolly! and I enjoyed it, even though I agree that at some points during the show she looked like she was going to tip over, especially in the red dress. Not having seen other productions of the show, I can't compare.

There was also an opening night TV special about this production (whiched aired on WWOR, the predecessor to UPN) hosted by Pat Collins, which was entertaining to watch.
