Hi All, My parents are coming to the city December 16-20 and are dying to see a production of Charles Dickins A Christmas Carol. I found a website for Personal Space Theatrics, which is performing a chirstmas carol this season. Does anyone know anything about this production or can anyone recommend a good place in NYC to see a Christmas Carol? Thanks, Star

What happened to Laura Bell and Nancy Opal?? I was so looking forward to seeing them in this production, especially laura!!! Does anyone know why they are not associated with the project anymore...perhaps contractual issues??

According to her website she is working on a project with the flaming lips. It is written in the laura's message part of her fac club website at www.laurabellbundyfanclub.com! Sounds interesting!

As a proud owner of a pair of Ugg boots, i wear them soley because they are the warmest shoes known to man. It really doesn't matter if they are totally stlyish or so 2003, they are the warmest shoes i have ever put on my little feet

I was curious if you meant shocked at how much the offered LBB or shocked at how little...I would love to know which one!

thank you so much!

he another naive question from a relativly new theatre fan...What does it mean when someone says something was performed "off-book"? Thanks,

This may be a naive question, but do actors and actresses get paid for participating in a reading or a workshop of a musical?

Ohhh.. I was so super nervous to see this because I ADORE Mary Poppins the movie and I tend to dislkie remakes and reinterpretations for the most part... But, with that said I think this was so well done..Laura Michelle Kelley,wow what a voice. She reminded me so much of Julie Andrews in the movie but yet gave the character a life of its own seperate from Julie's version...Quite an accomplishment on her part I must say. Hope that this makes its way to broadway..but if not I'm going to London ...

I heard it through the grapevine that Laura Bell Bundy moved to LA. I'm not really familiar with the way this industry works, but does that mean she is not interested in Broadway anymore? That is kind of the way I intepreted it, but of course I could be wrong...if anyone has any idea what her future plans are please let me know. Thanks, ~M

Matt G I could not agree with you more that the character i really cared about was Paradice. Brooklyn's character totally annoyed me...its seemed that she was unreasonably sweet...to the point of all that niceness seeming totally fake...anyway, i'm glad someone else felt that way too becuase I was starting to wonder if something was wrong with me for really being glad brooklyn lost that whole competition thing....

Did anyone see the her show last night?

oh i just wanted to say one more thing...The message of Brooklyn did nor personally hit home with me, but I can see how someone who really related to the themes of the show would be totally obsessed with it!!

Hey i saw Brooklyn tonight too! I agree completely that the music was a bit "American Idolish". I honestly found myslef rolling my eyes during the whole lullably bit. But, I tend to dislike "cheesy" music. I was totally expecting Eden to steal the show because of all the hype about her, but really Cleav??? Derreks (streetsinger) and Ramona kelly? (paradice) were beyond a doubt the stars of the show. (Sorry i left the playbill at the theatre) I have read on BBW that Kevin Anderson lacked energ...

Oh my god..I just watched that too and i felt really really really bad for that girl. It was pretty sad. On another note, are those what broadway auditions are really like???

I am still waiting for someone to tell us how the Shameless show was! The shameless thread that was posted a while back asking for reviews never got any response from those who had seen the show!!

I can get the audio to play, but not the video! am I doing something wrong?

I think whether or not you know who she is depends on your age. If you are under..i would say around 17 or 18, you very well might not know who she is. But you should def. give her music a listen!

totally agree with chicago...but again I went in with high expectations..also, maybe part of the problem was that I was it when Paige Davis was Roxie and I did not care for her performance at all.

also guilty...I really like her music and think it could possibly make an interesting, intelligent musical
