Could someone please explain the story in a nutshell? I, like many others no doubt, was really confused at what was happening in this version, especially after watching the Actors Benefit version.

And I think the love story between Anatoly and Florence had so much potential, but they didn't have enough intimate scenes (also the kiss was cut because the Queen was there?!) to make it affecting. And yeah they could have cut out so much of the dancing and Merano choir to make room for thi

"OMG…Guess what I’m waiting to finish downloading right now as I type this post…

Star Wars, The Musical !

Can’t wait to put it on my mp3 player and go running tomorrow.

I found this completely random little piece by way of an email from sarahb of Adventures in the Endless Pursuit of Entertainment, who got it from Robert of Little Voice.

The URL for the site is http://www.thesingingstage.com and on it you will find a gazillion random concept albums, cast albums from around the planet (Norwegian cast of A Chorus Line, anyone?) and soundboards (an unreleased audio recording of a show made by connecting a recording device directly to the soundboard) from a zillion different shows.

Like most sites that allow downloads of huge files like these, you can either download them for free, with the drawback of having to wait two minutes for a “download ticket” and having to wait, like an hour and a half between downloads, or you can upgrade to a premium membership and get things done a lot faster.

I’ll let you know how Star Wars is, but in the mean time, get on over to The Singing Stage and start downloading!"

eeee they have the 2003 Actor's Fund Concert of Chess for download, as well as its other cast albums. and a million versions of Les Miserables and Phantom.

sorry if this was posted before

Ha Mandy Moo, don't worry me too.

If anyone subscribes to Netflix, the recently released Company dvd with Raul Esparza is available to be watched instantly, if you don't want to wait for a hard copy. yay!

i'm not getting sound either. I guess it'll go on when the actual broadcast begins?

lol folkyboy "that's what she said." Can't wait for the Office to come back on Thursday!

And WOW, is Gypsy really that good? I thought people were liking South Pacific as a better revival.

Here's the video from the Today show profiling Loretta Ables- some good rehearsal footage: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21134540/vp/23937530#23937530

Sorry if this has been posted already.

Thanks for that! He sounds great:) I envy everyone who get to see this live.

wow, I really want to see this now. But no footage of Paul Szot singing?! Oh well, congrats to the cast!

really great episode! Love the cameos.

Passion!

Passion definitely. The music is amazing!

I heard before that he was coming back again, but it was really nice to have Bryan Fuller confirm that he wants Raul and Kristin to sing!

From Pushing Daisies creator Bryan Fuller at the Paley Fest panel:

Question asked: WILL RAUL ESPARZA BE BACK AS OLIVE’S LOVE INTEREST?

BF: "We love him and his relationship with Kristin’s character. It would be a crime not to (have them sing together)."

Yay their going to SING! It's going to be awesome:) Wish we didn't have to wait so long for the show to come back.

And just a little tidbit from Kristin and Ellen Greene:

KRISTIN CHENOWETH &

English translation:

The world was empty
Filled with shadow
The light never arrived

Clara, the light in the piazza
Clara, my light, my heart
Now that I am awake
I won’t go back to shadow

I never felt myself to be lonely
Missing the essence of being alive
But that’s how it was

Clara
Clara
Clara, my light, my heart
The essence I was missing is you
Your light fills me

But she won’t love me
Not like I am
Oh Clara
She won’t love a little boy
She cannot love a little boy
God
Father

I was sleeping
I didn’t know I was alone
Alone in the dark obscurity
Not even alive
There was no Clara
But now your light fills me

But she won’t love me
Not like I am
Oh Clara
She won’t love a little boy
She cannot love a little boy

God!
Father!
Clara
Clara
Clara, my light, my heart
The essence I was missing is you
Is you

Clara
Clara
Clara, my light, my heart
The essence I was missing is you
Is you

Clara
Clara
Clara, my light, my heart
I was alone in the dark obscurity
Not even alive
Oh God, give me my Clara
Oh, father, her light

Fills me

Love Light in the Piazza!
(You also could have just put the lyrics through an online translator)

I just remember seeing Daniel in BBC's Daniel Deronda with Hugh Dancy and Romola Garai, and I cannot believe he has come to Broadway! It's a huge difference in character- I just wish he sang in it now (even Dancy and Garai did!). Congrats on his success in Sunday!

Can't wait for the news!

And I was just waiting for that snide remark. Someone always delivers.

"Back to Before" is certainly a memorable tune, and when I saw Mazzie perform the song in November (a Ahrens and Flaherty musical revue) it just blew me away. That woman can sing!
