Say what you like aobout "Dance..." as a show, but the score, although cobbled together from previous sources is some of the most thrilling and appropriately theatrical music to play broadway in a decade or so.

I could be wrong, but I think this song does have an important function within the show.
It serves as Bloody Mary seduction of Cable into a relationship with her young daughter in order to secure boht her own and her daughter's future.

Only for those who have heard "2 Cities" in its ENTIRETY
Aug 22 2007, 11:25:34 PM
This is a question for those of you out there that have listened to Jill Santoriello's "A Tale of Two Cities" concept recording of the show in its entirety.
What are your thoughts? What number should stay, What should go?
Do You personally like the current (concept) orchestrations?
What do you feel is the strongest musical number, and the weakest, both musically and lyricly?
Post Away!

re: Jane Eyre as a Chamber Musical
Aug 21 2007, 12:22:00 AM
I was in the first High School production of Jane Eyre (I know, insane for a high school, right) and that was just after it was released by MTI. We used a relatively simple set design that relied heavliy on lighting as well as the male chorus to create the MANY locales of the play. It worked rather well in my opinion, and as I remember, we even used the full orchestration. If a high school can do it, I say a regional theatre can do it. I love the way the show reads in the current version, and I

Why have Bea and Rue replace? We NEED a "Golden Girls" Musical.
Films are being adapted left and right, why not TV?
Plus, we could get NBC to have a Reality show called, "Pick the 10 that you Want!" to decide which episode storylines get included!

re: The Alarming Popularity of 'Luck Stiff'

MTI doesn't have all the listings for upcoming productions that I have heard, read, planned.
But hey, I could be wrong, maybe it is just a local fad and I am making the rest up in my head.

The Alarming Popularity of 'Luck Stiff"
Aug 20 2007, 11:34:42 PM
Don't get me wrong, I love Ahrens and Flaherty. But can someone give me a clue as to why "Lucky Stiff" SEEMS TO (I could be off here) have become one of the most popular shows for High Schools, Colleges, and Regional Theatres thru out, at least the South East, the country.
I like the show, but it seems like it is bordering on "BATB"-like liscening popularity.

All I can say is, if you think the book is awful, you've seen a bad production. If you see a bad production of Chris Durang plays they don't seem to work either. Get a copy of the libretto and read it. The Book Works ...
Its just that directors have the nasty habit of not doing the same.

I saw her in that lovely independant film she did some years back, 'I love you, Don't touch me!' long before I knew her in Jane Eyre, and while I love her musical performances tremendously, her dramatic work is just as rich as her vocal perfomances as far as that film goes, not to mention she has wonderful comic timing for the screen as well as the stage.

Realization: Audra vs. Kristin at 2007 Tonys
Dec 21 2006, 10:51:49 AM
I know this is far to early to really be saying this, but does anyone else realize that both Kristin AND Audra will most likely be nominated for Leading Actress in a Musical, a category neither of them has ever won. Not to mention the fact that Christine Ebersol has already been wowing folk over at the Walter-Kerr for sometime now and will most likely be nominated too.
Finnally a season where there are actually multiple real actresses giving multiple real performances for the T
