hey BWWers- long time no post. hope all is well with everyone! just saw this Rooms-To-Go Commercial and wanted to know if anyone has seen it and has any clue to who is the female vocalist singing the jingle. thanks for the help! cheers

what album is that on, Dgrant?

off the top of my head...mostly situational in the show itself Love Who You Love - A Man of No Importance Inside Your Heart - Bat Boy In Whatever Time We Have/Stranger to the Rain - Children of Eden Johanna - Sweeney Todd Title Song - The Light in the Piazza Somewhere - West Side Story

hah no, sorry. Forbidden Broadway's "Camelounge" on Vol. 3 -- absolutely HILARIOUS! "Carol Lawrence, Carol Lawrence! It's Bob Goulet your former spouse." Sorry to disappoint, but I have heard nothing of the new tour.

is the diction still terrible?

I had a high school techie paint the scenery...

Loretta Devine was the original Lorell Robinson. Sharon Brown - I believe - was Jennifer's first replacement. As far as the men go, I wouldn't say that Eddie's part (Jimmy Early) is any bigger than Jamie's (Curtis). In fact, wasn't Ben Harney nominated for Best Leading Actor while Cleavant Derricks won for Supporting?

amen Al.

As previously stated, the orchestrations are just miles better on the original recording. That has a lot to do with the downfalls of this hollow revival recording released this year. It never musically reaches any peaks. The ballads are beautiful (Pretty Lady, Bowler Hat), I enjoy the added dialogue and I like B.D. Wong - a lot - but the songs never reach the brilliance of the OBC. It's a shame too, I actually liked the new staging. The kabuki was a wonderful concept (an authentic re-telling)...

at least Holliday had already done "Your Arms Too Short to Box with God" when she was cast as Effie. I am totally skeptical about this idea.

The Junior class at CMU is performing Hello, Again this coming Spring. Good news for all Pittsburghers - it should be wonderful!

is the "A Party.." book available for purchase? or only available at the NYPL? Jule Styne was amazing.

closed in previews if I'm not mistaken.

Do they sell the sampler cds at the door?

Damn - I was really looking forward to the possibility of seeing Merrily. It's been quite a while since I've seen a production of that brilliant show. I guess I'll have to somehow take your word for it!

I was already excited to have a little 2-day vacation in the city, and now this!! Does it run on Mondays?

is there a show this Monday? and how cheap could I possibly get tickets?

how would I go about getting free tickets or dirt cheap ticktets? i'll be in town monday and tuesday, and this just may be exactly what i need to see :)

umm I don't get it. Is this a joke? What and Why?

WONDERFUL disc - It's must have for any musical theatre collector. My favorites constantly change. Currently I'm partial to Simple (Callaway), New Words (Barrett), Unusual Way (James) and Grandmother's Love Letters (Ebersole).
