Camille Saviola was also recently (1-2 years ago) in a production of Lorca's "House of Bernarda Alba" with Chita Rivera in L.A. It was wonderful...

Bye Bye Birdie has only a few major singing roles, most can be acted strongly in lieu of fantastic singers. You just need a good Elvis-y type singer...

Don't forget, today at 1 pm at 46th & Bway! Here's the link with more info!

Yes. Do not mess with the brilliance of Bernstein & Comden & Green. You might not like it, but you should at least appreciate it. & remember, no one wants Adolph Green rising from the dead to attack his critics.

My roommate's audition wasn't an open call, it was a scheduled audition, so I'm not sure when/if open calls are happening. In terms of song, she had to sing "Take Me or Leave Me" (Joanne's part in the duet & her solo) & I'm not sure what sides she had. (Sorry!) :) & she said it was fun & that everyone was really nice!

Casting for this is going on right now. My roommate is going in for Joanne. & she's definitely not a name. Yet! :)

I'm all for color/gender/etc blind casting for everything, except when it's a historical character. I think Audra would be amazing as Dot. But all wrong to play Abe Lincoln.

For some reason I found the fact that this production is sponsored by Neurology Associates tremendously funny...

Tix are onsale at the TDF website, for all those who are members. I'm going this Tuesday. Yay! (I'm broke, too.)

I'm STILL kicking myself for not seeing "Once On This Island". It was a toss-up between "Big River" for a 2nd time & OOTI. My family hadn't seen Big River, so I was outvoted. Such sadness...

I promise not to make noise when I walk. Please can I keep them? :) They're light blue & say "boys are smelly". I love them.

Go to pbs.org & put in your zip code. That will take you to your local PBS station's website. Then click on television schedule & enter "Broadway's Lost Treasures" in the keyword box.

Try the Drama Book Shop (link to follow), if you're looking to buy (although, it might be out-of-print right now?). Otherwise try a library!

Are you referring to their 2-year program? Or their classes? I've taken some classes (the commercial course & the continuing commercial course) there & had good teachers. Also, alot of casting happens there & I've met some casting directors while waiting for class to start (which is always good!).

Maybe not gay, maybe just very, very flamboyant... heehee!

I love this show, have seen it multiple times, wish it would keep running, but it was intended as a limited run anyway. So, obviously it was a nice suprise to the Roundabout that more people wanted to see it & extend it past its original closing date. It's not your typical plot & it is a tough draw unless you actually know what it's about to begin with. I'm just glad I got to see it.

For some reason I started hysterically snorting at my reception desk at my temp job.Thanks for the giggle, Papa, during my otherwise deathly boring job!

Having worked in children's books off & on for 10 years, I would say the book is not appropriate for the majority of 10 year olds. Greg (yes, I've met him numerous times & can call him that) didn't intend the book for kids, so it does have mature situations. That being said, every kid is different. I read the anthropologic p*rn of The Clan of the Cave Bear in 5th grade, knew it was totally inappropriate, but don't think it warped me too much. :)& definitely read all the Oz books if you haven'...
