re: New Yorkers?

Aug 6, 2004 — 9:58:55 PM

I'm from RI. Including my trip tomorrow, I'll have been 3 times this year(Avenue Q, The Producers, Assassins, Wicked, AIDA), but before that I hadn't been since my senior year of high school 4 years ago. I saw about 5 shows in 3 trips then too. It comes in spurts. I used to usher at our touring house in Providence, so for 2 seasons I saw all of the musicals that came through, so that was cool. I just more or less stay up to date on the news.

re: Broadway Camp

Hehe...I found that article hilarious when I encountered it in the Times this morning. Just the way they kept going back to the Menzelist thing was amusing. The writer was completely making fun of them, while trying to objectively tell about the camp. I sure hope I wasn't that crazy when I was 15 years old and had just gotten into theatre(ah RENT, my first obsession...that I still love 7 years later).

"In Whatever Time We Have"-Children of Eden "It Takes Two"- Into the Woods "Dangerous Game"- Jekyll & Hyde "As Long As You're Mine"- Wicked And those that aren't quite love songs, but rather sad retrospectives: "I Know the Truth"- AIDA "I Guess I'll Miss the Man"- Pippin "I'm Not That Girl"- Wicked "Could We Start Again Please"- JCSS

I'm really hoping Idina's on on Saturday. As great as I've heard Eden is, I've been waiting all summer to see the show.

re: Wicked or Rent?

Aug 1, 2004 — 12:20:29 AM

Such a hard choice. I know I'm looking forward to seeing Wicked next week, but I've seen RENT 3 times(all on tour). I'd say that if you're seeing a show in NYC, see something that you can't see on tour(for a while). If both fall into that category, I don't know what to say...I've loved both at one point or another.

re: what is aida about?

Jul 29, 2004 — 9:38:44 PM

I'm really looking forward to seeing it next week. I've liked the soundtrack for some time now, but I really knew little of the plot. I must say though, the RENT book is wonderful, and I wouldn't call it mostly the libretto. The libretto is one of like 4 parts, the rest of which are commentary on the process. I will admit though, I don't think I've seen the AIDA book(unless its the generic Disney on Broadway book).

re: wicked site updated

Jul 28, 2004 — 7:46:14 PM

yeah, that's what I thought, but I'm not sure either. Equity has many a strange rule. The recording is an entirely different thing, not subject to rules like that.

re: wicked site updated

Jul 28, 2004 — 8:18:55 AM

I may be mistaken, but I thought they were required to remove the former actors from any type of publicity(and I would guess that the website qualfies as that), within a certain time frame per Equity rules. I'm not sure though, I haven't read the production contract(even the old one)...LORT has a rule like that though.

re: Broadway Show Bloopers

Jul 22, 2004 — 9:34:11 PM

Making it on Broadway is a really great book. It's great to see just what people had to go through to get where they did. I unfortunately have never seen any bloopers personally(at least not on Broadway...local professional theatres are another story).

re: Musicals for H.S

Pippin could work. When I did it years ago in high school we had a female Leading Player. I've seen it done both ways many times, and I think that role can work either sex.

re: Has anyone read the actual Wicked book?

Jun 25, 2004 — 11:52:15 AM

I think it depends on the kid, whether or not it would be appropriate for a 10 year old. Personally, I could have handled the book at 10, but I was an advanced reader, and read all sorts of things "too mature" for me. I think there are things she'll miss, hell at 22, I didn't get somethings until I read it a second time, but she'll probably enjoy it.

Schadenfreude...perhaps my own personal mantra...

re: Idina's 'Still I Can't be Still'

Jun 22, 2004 — 11:17:46 AM

I just got both CDs as well. I'd looked in every music store around here, and couldn't find it, but then CDbaby got the 1st one back in stock, so I ordered both. I like 'Here' better than 'Still I Can't be Still'.

re: Idina's 'Still I Can't be Still'

Jun 15, 2004 — 8:49:27 PM

I've been trying to find a copy of that CD for a few days now...no one has it anymore. But CD Baby has 2 minute clips of all the songs from both CDs if you search for Idina.
