re: Any history of actors naturally or for 'in character' has a lisp?

Jules beat me to it. I was thinking Deborah Gibson.

I thaw her in Thinderella.

"Impossible" should have been titled "Improbable" to make up for her bad lisp.

re: FALSETTOS Revival?

I would LOVE to see a revival of Falsettos, but would love even more if they did all 3 Marvin Shows. The new version of In Trousers that was done in Chicago a couple years ago was outstanding.
re: California Musical Theatre's no win situation?

When the Board of Directors holds an "emergency meeting" Tuesday night and then someone "resigns" Wednesday morning, someone has been FIRED.

re: Favorite Overtures

1. Candide
2. Gypsy
3. Mack and Mabel
4. A Chorus Line

I had a the privilege of seeing Marvin Hamlisch conduct the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and they played the Overture from Chorus Line, which was cut before the show opened. It's really lovely.

re: The hardest you ever laughed/cried.

Hands down, the hardest I have ever laughed was at DAME EDNA: The Royal Tour.

She played the "scaffold-encrusted Schuuuuuuubert Theatre" in Chicago and I laughed so hard my abs hurt for days afterwards.

re: Favorite Act 2 Opener

To the tune of “The Famer and the Cowman”

Oh, the actors and the dancers should be friends
Oh, the actors and the dancers should be friends
One man likes to read a play
The other likes to tour-jeté
But that’s no reason why they can’t be friends

re: ( ) Would Have Been A Hit If It Had Score By ( )

I know it was just said, but my first thoughts were CRY-BABY scored by Marc Shaiman!
re: Favorite 'I want' song in a musical

The show isn't very good, but "Part of Your World" remains one of my favorite "I wish" song. I also like "Somewhere That's Green." Guess I'm a Menken fan.

Guess the show from the prop list!

Here's a fun game. Guess the Broadway musical based on the props! List some props and see who guesses correctly.

Here's a start:

Menorah
Baseball bat
Walkman
Racquetball racquets
Hospital bed

re: a question for those who felt mistreated at a HAIRSPRAY screening

Marc, you are a real class act. Thanks for posting your concern.

I was one of the VERY few people with the internet Evite who got in to see it in Chicago last night. I was very grateful to get a sneak preview of the film.

I LOVED it! It surpassed my expectations and thought it was a great, fun experience. The performances were incredible and I loved the new material and orchestrations. The audience was smiling and tapping their feet the entire time. Congrats, Marc.
