Chitty Chitty Bang Bang

I'll add a +1 to loving the sound of the Broadway production. I would not judge the live orchestrations by the cast album production. I was 30, a big Who fan, and had seen them at least a few times live by that point. I was very concerned that the sound would lack any punch and be way to quiet. Was blown away by how great it sounded.Fun fact. When the show opened, the E Street Band was on hiatus. Max Weinberg auditioned to be the show's drummer. He became the second substitute.

Coco in 1970. I went with my mom at age 6 or 7. Only think I remember (assuming it is accurate) was there was a long staircase and she walked down it in white. When I went to look up the date, I learned that it starred Katherine Hepburn, Andre Previn wrote the music, and Alan J Lerner wrote the book and lyrics. Michael Bennett choreographed and Harold Wheeler did the dance arrangements. Lots of talent.

I guess my bad. It seemed that the combination of the Seller quote and Lin-Manuel's comments pointed to July 9. But, his one year comment could have implied a date a few days later in July. To me the actual day didn't seem crucial, but I certainly see why to some even a one day difference is very crucial.

The Hollywood Reporter didn't report anything Lin-Manuel didn't say himself. Read the Rilling Stone article. It's toward the end. He made it very clear he's leaving after a year.

Here is a link to Lin-Manuel's interview in Rolling Stone. I'd say he is leaving when his contract is up. He says he left In the Heights after a year, and that the show was as joyous as anything he's done, but he needed time to write. Can read it and draw your own conclusions.http://www.rollingstone.com/music/features/hamilton-creator-lin-manuel-miranda-the-rolling-stone-interview-20160601

Great temporary replacement for Judy Kuhn, but we may be burying the lede a bit. If the contracts are up in March/April as has been assumed, this means Judy Kuhn has extended her contract.I also heard an interview with Michael Cerveris on Julie James's show recently where he stated that the cast felt there was still a lot to explore in these characters. My thought was that he probably was going to extend his contract. We will see.

"You were either sitting in a better spot acoustically or just have way better hearing / deciphering skills than me and some other people. The sound is all muffled from third tier partial view seating. So imagine if you are only able to catch half the words (or none of the words) being said. My friend was able to understand less than I could. There are many, many Yelp/Tripadvisor reviews slamming the inferior acoustics of the Avery Fisher Hall / David Geffen Hall if you are sitting beyond the...

Fakir seemed mystical, though not sure of his exact relationship to Mary in India. Again, please know I understand that a concert like this is hard to follow. I meant no offense with my synopsis.

^^^ Agree with this. As I said before, it is all very subjective. Put synopsis in to see if I just missed the boat, which is certainly possible.

JBroadway said: "LizzieCurry said: "the concert was basically made for people who already knew it. And she's right; they didn't bother to explain anything."How so? Did they only perform the songs and not the scenes? I seem to recall in Parade they performed the full thing, or if not the full thing, enough of the book to set up the songs."Ok, maybe I'm missing something. Again, I knew nothing about the show, but this all seemed to be made clear. Mary is the lone survivor of a cholera outbreak....

I knew nothing about the story, but I found it easy to follow. Thought they did a great job getting the facts out. Just shows this is all subjective.Also, thought the performances were great. Really happy I went.

Saw this last night. Michelle Willisms appeared to be wiping away tears during the curtain call. It truly amazes me that actors can perform a show like this 8 times a week.Like many others, I thought it was very well done, brilliantly acted and definitely worth seeing. But, not sure I would say I loved the show. Difficult material.

Sydney Lucas would make an excellent Scout.

I just wanted to express my love of the audition process, my need to always audition for any and every project that interests me. that process seems to work for me and unlike many people that find the audition process to be stressful, I instead find such joy and pleasure in that process."So nice of you to reply. Yo...

Since you did not say what you thought he meant by the term, it's hard to know at what you are aghast. I heard the interview, and he was talking about always auditioning even if he was currently employed long term. I took it to mean he was sort of an audition addict, which would have been a better term to use.

Lincoln center production No longer listed as "do not work." Maybe they can complete the cast now.

FYI, the do not work notice for the Geffen Hall production now says contract pending. http://www.actorsequity.org/newsmedia/TakeAction/DoNotWork.4As.asp
