Oh, I hope I have a job soon so I could buy it. Eh, maybe I can convince my parents to give it to me...

From Legally Blonde: "Do you know the number 1 decision behind ALL bad hair decisions?" And then on the back: "LOVE!"

I'm not sure. I know I saw Legally Blonde for the second time at the end of October last year, which is when I got the Carols for a Cure Vol. 9 CD. They were also doing the fundraising at the time as well. And I know the strike greatly affected BCEFA the following month.

"Here's a theory, winston: The producers released a statement saying that the decision to close Xanadu early was made to avoid losses in the current economic climate." Honestly, I think that's all the "theory" we need for why Broadway shows are closing at this time. The economy is in crisis and people aren't going to pay for Broadway tickets and everything that could come with seeing it (dinner in the city, transportation, etc).

Is there any more news on Volume 10? I remember a track list being out around this time of the year and haven't seen one yet.

I was listening to the concert today on Sirius online and it suddenly it just cut out. Was this just something online or did it happen elsewhere?

I can't really see Andrew and the Really Useful Group closing "Phantom" over the strike, though I'm sure they aren't happy about it. Disney probably isn't either.

I know Bloomberg offered mediation during the talks. Does anybody think that if the strike goes on, more city officials may step in to end it?

CBS just updated the story and their sources say that ticket holders can get a refund if their show is affected by the strike. So, yes, your friends can get a refund.

I think "The Monotone Angel" is going to become one of my new favorite carols. I also adore Shuler Hensley's rendition of "O Come All Ye Faithful" as well as "Mary's Lullaby" (Wicked 1st National Tour) and "The Innkeeper's Lament" (Altar Boyz). Though, I do cringe at the end of Jolly Old St. Nicholas/Up on the Housetop when the cast screams out "Merry GREASEmas."

I saw her yesterday and I have to agree that she's still trying to find a way to make the role her own. I think once she does that, she'll be fine. She has a great voice.

I still get choked up when I think that Beauty has closed. While it wasn't my first musical, Beauty and the Beast is my favorite Disney movie. And my friends and I skipped our senior prom and went to go see this instead. First row with Christy Carlson Romano playing Belle. We had gone to our junior prom and, in my opinion, this was a lot more fun! I'm glad I got to see it last Thursday, before it closed. I'll miss it.

sleepyguy1717, do you want us to tell you how it was? Cause I thought it was great. Don't go expecting a straight translation from the movie, because it takes some detours (adds, eliminates, you get the picture). But the music is upbeat and stays with you. Plus Laura Bell is absolutely amazing. I hope you have fun!

Wow, I can't wait for UGLY BETTY to return! I love the show so much...and now I don't have a Thursday night class so I can actually watch it on TV rather than online. I can't wait for Betty to go to Wicked (hopefully with the rather adorkable Henry) and the musical episode. I hope they can bring back both Patti and Kristin. That would be awesome!

Last night (6/14) at Pirate Queen's night performance, one of the ladies sitting behind my mother and myself had an interesting reason for why the show was closing: "Did you see how large the cast was? That's why it's closing--they can't pay all of them!" My mother and I looked at each other, held in our laughter until we were out of the theatre and on the 1 train.

Lately, it's "Blah blah blah" in "Totally F*cked" in from "Spring Awakening." I don't know why, really. Maybe the tune's just catchy.

I was saddened when I saw his obit on Playbill.com. And when I told my family, my dad said, "I thought he was already dead." I love him on the reruns of Match Game GSN shows. I won't watch it if he isn't on. He'll be greatly missed.

She was absolutely adorable in this show, especially comparing Betty's situation with Henry and Charlie to all those romantic comedies. Her energy was contagious--even through the TV screen. "Maybe I escape to the movies more than I should"--one of my favorite lines of the night!

To whoever gave Seth his own column: Thank you. You are my hero--you have saved my Mondays!

I ran the lighting board for my school's production of "Rumors" by Neil Simon. So, I'm up in the booth with the sound tech and the stage manager when it comes time for a gun shot to be heard. The sound tech starts her cue and out comes...music to be used later in the act. She quickly cuts the music, but fortunately our actors were very good at improv and covered. The gun shot ran out a few seconds later. When it came time for the actual cue, the actor said, "Honey, why don't put on that wonde...
