Profile for Roddick19

She was fabulous! The production as a whole was the least-well done (meaning not bad but not as fantastic as the rest) of the series, but she was a fabulous Blanche. It was a stunning performance and I am priviledged to say I witnessed it.

Does anyone know why playbill.com seems to be frozen on July 17th? They haven't updated since that day and it's strange...

It's a great program. I Saw Light in the Piazza from the five row center for $20!!!! And there was no waiting in line early in the morning. Totally worth it!

Has anyone who doesn't live in New York bought the Light in the Piazza recording? I live in DC, which one would think is a large theatre town, but have struck out on finding the cast recording in three different large chain record stores (Barnes and Noble, Borders, and Sam Goody's). I'm actually going to Florence (go figure) on Wednesday, and would really like to by the CD before I leave. Anyone with ideas, please share.

I'm so happy Matt Morrison got a nod for Light in the PIazza. He is being so overlooked by critics because of the magnitude of Victoria Clark (who is amazing). I'm so so so excited for him!!!

Not sure if this counts because it has such a cult-like following, but Bat Boy: the musical is amazing, both the off-Broadway and London casts!

Was this a previously announced concert? I don't remember reading about it...sounds awesome!

I bought tickets, but haven't seen any press about it since the inital announcement. Is anyone else going to this on Sunday?

Doubt and The Pillowman, -- two plays that can't steer you wrong.

He's appearing in the Symphony Space's concert version of Songs for a New World on May 1st. John Tartaglia is in it as well.

John Patrick Shanley (the playwright) talks about all of the schools and instutions he's been thrown out of in his bio. Then, he asks you to email him if you have any theories as to why this happened AND he provides an email address that he regularly checks. He'll respond if you send him something.

I'm so glad you liked it!! Michael and Ryan are very good friends of mine (I stage manage for vocal performance sometimes) so I'll make sure to pass along the good news!

He's my FAVORITE on American Idol. Was he Roger on the tour???

I worked with the education department of MTC at an event back in October and talked to their internship coordinator. It sounds like a good program, but only if you're not a full time student. It's a huge commitment and it doesn't pay THAT well.; At the same time, the education internship (the intern was there so I talked to him a lot) sounds like a GREAT opportunity and chance to really experience working for a theatre company. I'd imagine you can always call them if you have more questions.

Thanks guys! That info is perfect!

Hey guys! My voice teacher assigned me "Unexpected Song" and wants me to bring her a summary of the show it's from, "Song and Dance." I googled and got a one-sentence synopsis that doesn't really make sense. Does anyone know where I could get one or can give me one? Thanks!

"Michael Cavanaugh did not perform and Wade Preston was there in his place...On top of that Brenda, Judy and Tony were all out so their understudies went on." Are you sure they were understudies or just the matinee cast? All of the leads are double cast, as is Michael, so that they do not perform two shows in the same day, as there are two shows Wednesdays and Saturdays. All matinees have a different cast than the night time performances. Did you get to see Rasta? He's such a beautiful dancer!

I wasn't aware that the run was completely sold out. That sucks if it is because I really wanted to see the show! You could always just go to the box office and see if they have single tickets -- often that happens.

I saw Movin' Out last Thursday and sadly, John was no longer in the playbill. However, one of his replacements, Rasta Thomas, is the most beautiful dancer I've ever seen in my entire life! He does all of the matinee performances as well as Thursday evenings. If you have a chance to see a performance at any of these times, take it. Rasta is not to be missed!

She was approached about being in Neil LaBute's new play This is How It Goes at the Public Theater, but nothing new has been announced. However, when they announced Ben Stiller had been "approached," they posted stories that he was cast after about a week.
