re: Politics and Broadway
"It's a Privilege to Pee" from Urinetown...although that doesn't necessarily apply to politics of the present in our country (the election, specifically). Hmm...or maybe it does.

re: Politics and Broadway
bwayfan, I get the humor...but there was a HUGE political emphasis on Broadway following the events of 9/11. If nothing else does, that refutes your indirect claim that Broadway is unaffected by politics. As related to the current goings-on, I have no idea.
re: Rent Has Officially Closed
LePetiteFromage, that's exactly what my brother said. I woke up this morning and said to him, "Wow, RENT is closed." And he said, "Only on Broadway!" all cheery. Made me smile a bit.
re: Rent Story on ABC News 6:30pm - 9/7
Mimi lives. I've always thought that was the cheesiest part of the show, but what is one to do?
re: What show do you regret seeing the most?
The Producers. I loathed it and nearly fell asleep...which is something I cannot say for myself as an audience member in any other theater.
re: What's the most number of times you've seen one show?
Altar Boyz - 10 Rent - 4 (5th on 8/30) Wicked - 3 Hairspray - 2
re: any mimi understudies in RENT before close?
I LOVE Karmine's Mimi. So much. Amazing.
meh
I agree that Natalie Weiss does some impressive stuff, but my friend plays her stuff all the time (on his laptop at lunch and dinner and whenever else)...and I gotta say, I've gotten a little sick of it. But...she's good, yes.
re: Last RENT Cast
SO excited for Adam to take over as Mark. Along with typecastme22, I saw him in a few things here at NU before he was offered the role and left for NYC a bit ago. He's absolutely phenomenal.
re: Altar Boyz? (and a couple of other questions)
Even if the jokes were to go over his head, it's a fun show. Granted, the people over whose heads the jokes go who still enjoy the show (who I've seen) are mostly ten-year-olds. But...that's close to teenaged! Right? It's a fun show for all ages, in my opinion.
re: Any Word on RENT
Dramamama, since I'm a dorkface and check the Broadway Grosses every week...it hasn't even been steadily improving. The "marginally better" thing is still a hit-and-miss deal, just like with most other shows currently running.
re: Pippin
Does the blank post represent your ambiguous feelings about the show, or did you just forget to write something? If it's the former, great symbolism. =P
re: Rank the 'Best Scores' of this decade so far...
1. The Light In The Piazza 2. Urinetown 3. Hairspray 4. Avenue Q 5. Spring Awakening 6. Aida 7. The Drowsy Chaperone 8. The Producers I can't stand The Producers and wasn't thrilled by The Drowsy Chaperone.
re: Kendra Kassebaum
I LOVED them in the touring cast. They were wonderful, but I thought the ensemble was a bit lackluster.
re: You Favorite Off Broadway Show
I really quite love the Altar Boyz.
re: If you could see any show on Broadway right now...
I would definitely see August: Osage County. I fell in love with it from the moment the set designer spoke about at NU. It seemed awesome...and THEN I've heard nothing about amazing things about it. REALLY want to see it.
re: Back from NYC: Rent, Curtains, Blonde, Purple & Spring!
Ah! Zonya was in "Children of Eden" in my hometown when the local theater did it for its annual summerstage. She is so sweet and OS talented. My mom, brother, and I are flying to NYC to see her in TCP. I'm glad to hear that she's wonderful! (She was Eve in "Children of Eden"...of course.)
