re: What show are you currently obsessed with?

The Last Five Years and Les Mis
Too funny

Okay, the first one I found really funny...
Someone coming out of The Times....: Man, that SUCKED!

Someone I overheard talking: Yeah, I hear that Phantom of the Opera is pretty good. Shakespeare wrote it, so its a legend!
^^ I was just sitting there in shock!

re: The Times They Are A-Entertainin'

I saw it last night too...and I enjoyed it...but it's not something I would probably see again and again. I thought that cast itself was amazing. Lisa, Michael and Thom were wonderful.
re: Besides dress rehearsals,what do actors do to warm up before a performa

I know that my friend does some vocal warmups, some yoga and she prays and spends time getting into character.
re: Flops you love

Woman in White!
re: Manuel Exits The Times They Are A-Changin'; Standby Lisa Brescia Assume

"Easy Almostfamous, I'm sure Lisa is going to be fine but I HAVE seen the show and Micheal Arden looks very young and Lisa does not, IMO! "

Oh, I was just stating my opinion! :)
Not ranting on anyone or attacking anyone's opinion, just saying mine. I guess it's all a matter of opinion! No worries, sorry my post came off the wrong way!


re: Manuel Exits The Times They Are A-Changin'; Standby Lisa Brescia Assume

I think that Lisa is going to be amazing, as she always is!
I don't think that she looks too "old" at all, she handled the role Amneris beautifully! Now I will have to see the show, to see her in it!

re: Manuel Exits The Times They Are A-Changin'; Standby Lisa Brescia Assume

Yay! I am so happy for Lisa! She is so talented!
re: Favorite B-Way Actor/Actress

Actress: Lisa Brescia , Megan McGinnis, Susan Owen
Actor: Michael Shawn Lewis, Will Chase, John Tartaglia

re: THE TIMES THEY ARE A-CHANGIN' - 6th Preview - 9/29/06

It's been said by some cast members that people are either going to love it or not like it at all...It looks like its leaning towards the second option at this point.
re: What do actors do to pay the rent in between shows?

I know that some work on the Sight-Seeing Buses
re: A BC/EFA Flea Market Review (For those of you that missed it)

The Phantom table was awesome!
