Profile for Mr. Peanut Man

I was pleasantly suprised with her. I'm also really glad that the show didn't try and make her the star by giving her a later bow or making her presence more well known... Unlike some other person we know over at ACL.

I've been turned off by the music. The title song sounds like it was written by a thirteen year old rather than a grown up man who we know can produce absolutley beauiful and haunting music. I just can't imagine these kids doing eight shows a week without doing permanent damage to their voices. Some adults can't even handle that schedule!

No, I don't think they are. The tickets are subjcet to availability so I assume the give you whatevery is left over. The last couple of times I tried they didn't have any because they expected the performance to be sold out. I ended up getting a ticket on and saw it form the mezz. In my opinion it's the best place to see the show because you get a great view of all the action in the house. I still can't get over how amazing that set was!

Sorry, misread the announcement. No need to get snippy.

I agree. From the success of this year's Gypsy an South Pacific, there's still an appreciation out there for a full orchestra on Broadway.

Considering that LuPone's Gypsy will probably close in march when her contract runs out, it's probably safe to assume that Guys and Dolls will probably take the St. James. Also, does anyone know if the cast that included Patrick Wilson, John C. Reily, Anne Hathaway and Debra Messing is still attached?

Beth Leavel was so gracious and we were having a nice talk until a guy cut me off to talk about how he saw her in a show when he went to her high school. Also, Haviland Stilwell was incredibly nice after the Les Mis revival. When she heard we came from towns with the same name she was so psyched until she realized they were in separate states. Still, she was incredibly friendly as were Alex Gemingamni and Celia Keenan Bolger.

I'm so happy not only for her but also for Lee Pace. Pushing Daisies is such a great show. I'm so glad it got recognized for its first season and I hope the second season doesn't suffer from a sophomore slump.

The photo at the beginning of the thread is definitely from the production at Fairfield High School just outside of Cincinatti. Generally, they have a very strong arts program with a nationally renowned show choir the "Choraliers" and a very dedicated group of students willing to put there time and energy into a production like this. Last year they did a staging of Les Miserables

RentBoy,As for your question as to who is as is a lock for leading actress, you have three ladies who are basically assured nominations. Julie Christie in Away From Her is racking up critic's prize after crictic's prize for her role as a woman with Alzheimer's. Then we have Marion Cotillard for La Vie En Rose for her bravura performance as Edith Piaf. Finally, Ellen Page for Juno as the young teen who becomes pregnant and in the process finds herself. After that, it gets a little fuzzy. Most ...

Although I don't consider Travolta's performance incredible, you have to think about who nominated him. The Hollywood Foreign Press Association is a group of 90 journalists who love to scratch the back's of huge hollywood box office draws. When they have their ceremony, they aim at filling that ballroom with the biggest stars of film and television. Granted, breakthrough actresses such has Ellen Page, Marion Cotillard and Amy Ryan made it in. But that's becasue their performances' are too big...

Yes, it's a great cast but the majority of theatergoers are tourists and the only person they will recognize is Mullally. I don't think Brooks is going to get the audience he's expecting.

Xanadu The Wedding Singer The Color Purple Tarzan (Can't belive it didn't close sooner) Legally Blone (Now I think it looks entertaining) High Fidelity

I think Mermaid will be a huge financial success due it's name but the overall quality of recent Disney shows creates a lot of hesitation for me. The only think that is keeping me interested is the return of a Ashman/Menken score to Broadway. As for YF, I think Brooks is banking too much on the wave of acclaim he recieved for the Producers. Unforutnately, he hasn't done things that have put him in good light. All this searching for a theater business and the high ticket prices is turning me o...

Wow, I would love to see the entire show with Analeigh playing Elle.

I sent Sutton my CD cover and got it back personalized and signed. That's something most stars wouldn't take time to do at the stage door.

What a great cast! I love the quotes on the mirror in Remy and Krysta's dressing room. Remy looks so young, how old is she? I really need to see this show!
