I don't mean to be rude but I don't see how you can see this and not separate the sentiment with the talent of the performance. The entire song is a testament to an older person not being hindered by their age, and Martin's performance on the trapeze is exactly that. It isn't just a talented acrobat performing tricks in the middle of a song, it is a woman many people in our culture would consider past her prime performing incredible tricks. I think it more than fits the song's message.

I was wondering about casting too. Is this a concert production of The Music Man a la Encores, or will this be more like The Transport Group's Baby Concert, where different performers all sang different songs?

Sad that rumors of Do I Hear a Waltz? aren't true, but Paint Your Wagon is a pretty exciting alternative.

Ahh, that would make sense. I always thought she was a strange choice for the role.

I have heard that Debbie Shapiro Gravitte was involved as Caole at some point, though I don't know how reliable my source is.

Wow those pictures are stunning. I've always wondered what the big transformation was, and that completely exceeds my expectations.

Stephen sang You'll Never Walk Alone.

I really do love the HBO series, and Kirk's Prior does have some really nice moments. But I think he is one of the weakest in the cast, second only to Parker, which is a problem for Angels in America. I would have loved to see Urie.

I hated Justin Kirk in the HBO series. He didn't bring any of the "gay-ness" to the role. There just seemed to be so much missing from his performances. All of the camp, all of the glamour, all of the vulnerability was gone. I'm just curious about his performance in general. What people though worked, what didn't.

Can anyone who saw Stephen Spinella in Angels in America comment on his performance? I've always been curious.

I was there tonight as well and it really was a stunning evening. Hearing that score played on that orchestra and with that large an ensemble was more than I could ask for.

If anyone is around... http://tinychat.com/broadwayworld

I still don't have tickets to this and I really don't know what to do. Thompson looks marvelous from what little I've seen, and I really don't want to miss her. But last year, Nathan Gunn's atrocious Billy Bigelow ruined what should have been a pretty perfect production of Carousel for me, and I really don't want that to happen again.

Any chance to see Rachel York is great in my book, but this is a perfect role for her. And the supporting cast is across the board excellent. Judy Kaye can do no wrong.

I didn't love the show. I thought the sets and costumes were lovely, and I really loved the cast, but I thought it was very low stakes dramatically. I've never seen a production of the show before, so it might just be the show, but I wasn't to impressed. It didn't seem to build at all. It was well acted and sang, it just seemed very...casual.

No it was definitely the crew. You could also clearly see them moving set pieces on and off during the scenes. It was very distracting.

I was pretty unimpressed. The design was interesting, and the supporting cast were all decent. Rebecca was very very bland. She had a few nice moments, but for the rest of the performance she found a way to simultaneously over act and still be forgettable. Her best scene was "Intimate" with Morgan Spector. That was the only time the production really worked for me. Spector was wonderful and so very sexy. Michael Cumpsty was also great. But it was pretty much what I've come to expect from Roun...

I'll be there tonight as well.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned Baby It's You yet.

Wow this sold fast. I managed to get two pretty good seats, and with a cast this star studded I'm not surprised tickets went so fast. Really looking forward to this, I was hoping rumors of Wilson as Sky turned out to be true.
