Forgive me if this has been discussed earlier. What do we think the chances are of this extending?

Darn! I chose to see City of Angels instead. Any hope for a Nik Walker/Jordan Danica for Stone/Stein??? Please!

I'm so excited for this. I saw the original twice. If you're not familiar with the score and you don't mind spoilers, I would recommend listening to the score before you go in. It's a complex one and for my amateur ears, it didn't catch the first time. I remember thinking I have to hear this again after the first viewing.I'm just wondering what the Encores subscriber base is going to think of this. It's DARK and not exactly full of hummable/mummable melodies (although there are some gorgeous ...

Forgive me if this was discussed, but has there been any mention of a cast recording? I think it would be nice to have at least Hugh, Telly and Nik for a number or two.

The code for Wild Party does work, just not on every seat. It worked for side orchestra, but not center when I tried it. If you select a few seats from different areas, then remove the code before checkout you can see the difference. I hate that they don't just show the discount seats like other sites.

I saw it last night. Consistently funny, awesome cast esp Grey H and Jason T. It's no Batboy or even Toxic Avenger, but I enjoyed it. Some nice songs.

City Center is running a flash sale till 12/31 for "High Spirits". Code is ORCH95. $85 for select mezz and $95 for select orch.

Agree with all the one's I've seen posted so far and I've seen many. Would like to addBrent Barrett's smug (I would say definitive) Ben from the Chicago Shakespeare Follies Mary Gordan Murray's intense Gussie from Arena's MerrilyLea Salonga's gorgeous rendition of Loving You from Old Friends

Love your ideas tomorrowBIGLITES. I too envisioned the film (of my dreams) opening with Sally looking at her wrinkled face in the mirror, Phyllis dressing, examining her still spectacular figure, Ben bored and sulking over a cocktail, Buddy rushing through the airport. Then I would transition to outside the theater - Times Square @ 1970. The noise, the filth, the rotten manners...Can you imagine what they would do with CGI? No need to double cast the younger versions!Such thoughtful responses...

I love this topic and hearing different interpretations!Wanted to add here, that I always imagine there are like a hundred people at the reunion. Not just what can be afforded on a stage.I would love to see a movie version with big names as Ben, Phyllis and Carlotta and complete unknowns (maybe from Broadway) as Sally and Ben. Then for all the other characters cast forgotten people from 70's - 80's tv (think Brady Bunch etc). People who really didn't make it big, that you sort of recognize an...

Here's my take. I've seen 10 different productions, 18 times total. However, I did not see the original.Phyllis does love Ben, but her patience with him has run out.Ben only loves himself. Completely self absorbed narcissist.No idea why Tom and Tim. If there is a reason I would love to know.Sally's mental health is due to her depression and possible early onset of dementia. She's also an alcoholic. I think she would have turned out this way Ben or no, but Ben did not help.No all the featured ...

AH! Now I remember!Thanks to all

I saw the show a few weeks ago and have NO recollection of what part he played in the show, I saw that he's pictured with the principals and he took a solo bow in the curtain call video I checked out online. It's driving me nuts! What was his part? Did he have any or parts in songs? I remember everyone else clearly. Thanks!
