"I went to a show once where I was sitting on the side of the orchestra and I was near a very ill man in a huge wheelchair. He had some sort of apparatus--oxygen or a respirator perhaps--that was making a very quiet clicking, whooshing noise through the entire show. I wasn't annoyed. I was actually happy the theatre was able to accommodate the man and his equipment so he could see a show. I'm guessing there were a lot of places he couldn't go, and he was alive and alert and perhaps really in ...

Please tell me Lyon's company didn't make those. They look like dollar-store knockoffs.

Such a shame to see this go! I saw it twice when it came to Denver and I would have loved to see it on Broadway. Have a great show tonight!

I don't remember POTO having gunfire. Are you perhaps thinking of the chandelier's power-up?

I don't get it either. I saw it once, on tour, and I was not impressed. Or entertained. Of course, I'm not an ABBA fan to begin with, so I'm willing to bet that's largely why I didn't like it.

So has anyone ever told you you're a dead ringer for Master Frodo?

Elijah Wood is working at a merch booth now? :) Are the programs available online? They didn't have them in Denver and I must own one.

The costume line is pretty spot-on, I have to admit. I can't help but think what they would have looked like if they could have gotten Ann Hould-Ward for this. I think she did a great job on B&TB.

They're already phasing out JJ and Cody? The show hasn't even officially opened yet! That's some high turnaround...

Good lord, there are 4 Flounders?? Isn't that a little much?

WIshing you all the brokenest of legs!

The other night, I dreamed that my school was doing Carrie and I was Carrie. We deviated from the script; Tommy killed me instead of Margaret, and he also made up a duet that we were supposed to sing as I lay dying. Good thing it was only a rehearsal...

Your idea for the overture is very similar to what they did early in the Denver run. After the overture, the curtain came up on an underwater scene, with a few chorines and Flounder skating around and them scattering when the ship began its descent. I didn't care for it, and I guess that was the general consensus, because when I went back the show opened with projections of fish, waves, etc.

In the episode where Chris becomes a famous avant-garde artist, there's a spoof of Everything's Coming Up Roses. Another of my favorites, from the King and I episode: There's a quick clip of Brian auditioning by singing If Ever I Would Leave You. That was the moment when I fell in love with Seth MacFarlane's voice. Damn, that man has a sexy, sexy voice...

My favorite is still "La-la-la-la-la-Miss Saigon, la-la-la-la-la-Miss Saigon..."

Actually, it is. Piazza came to Denver this last March.

I guess those damn bongs are here to stay... And it seems that nobody likes the ending. Is nobody at Disney paying attention to what fans are saying? I don't think there's been a single positive thing said about the denoument. Hop to, Disney! Start paying attention!

The Denver Center did Hamlet about 5 years ago and everything was fine and dandy until the very end. You know how the show ends on Fortinbras' speech at Elsinore? Well, they did the speech, but the play ended with his troops pointing their guns at Yorick, and a big ol' shotgun blast when the lights went down. We were on a HS field trip, and all of us were looking at each other and going "WTF did they do that for??"

EnchantedHunter, did you actually call someone cynical? Pot calling the kettle black much?
