re: the life vs. titanic
Dec 31 2004, 01:34:57 PM
i saw them both. titanic was entertaining. it had some cheesy moments (like when the mini ship ran into the iceberg) but there were some wonderful performances and beautiful songs that i still listen to today.
the life was a bore. yes, it had lots of talent, but it was like watching paint dry. i don't remember any of the plot, score, or characters from this show.... i DO remember that lilias had an amazing voice.

i actually had not heard this since i only make it to this board every few days or so.
that said.... WOW! that is ridiculous. so someone is just pissed because they are an interacial couple? i feel sorry that two people who have decided to marry each other have been targeted for a hate crime. sad sad world.

i saw the tour just this past wednesday. the cast is exceptional, and i believe that "la vie boheme" was performed better than i've ever seen before.

re: Which show/recording would you love to rediscover.
Nov 7 2004, 02:43:23 AM
recording: miss saigon. i remember knowing absolutely nothing about the show, but buying it on a whim. i sat in my car(in the parking lot of specs music) listening to the entire recording and reading the libretto. what a beautiful story unfolded.
show: sunset boulevard. what can i say? it was pure magic.

oh my goodness... shame, SHAME on all of you who feel guilty for loving The Sound Of Music. tsk, tsk, tsk. nothing at all to feel guilty about. although i would absolutely never feel guilty for subjecting my friends to a good old Sound Of Music sing-a-long, i do keep one musical tucked away in the back of my shoe closet... only to be brought out in strict privacy. that musical is "The One And Only Genuine, Original Family Band". i adore it (and trust me, i'm riddled with embarrasment).

if your comedy skills are fine tuned, you could try "man in the moon" from Mame. very funny and campy.... also very low (think bea arthur)

rose-macshane... you saw linda balgord? i'm so jealous. i saw her in the national tour of sunset boulevard as norma desmond. although her vibrato is insanely bumpy, her performance was flawless for the role. her norma stands as the single most moving performance i have ever seen. when i saw the show again on broadway with elaine paige i was dissapointed beyond reason.
where IS that woman anyway? has she retired?

swankified- just wanted to explain that the 'garbage outfits' that are worn throughout the show are supposed to be costumes that a group of five street performers have put together. that would be why all of the props and costumes were made of things you could pick up on the side of the road.... just thought i'd clarify.

matt rogers- in answer to you question, there are not really many theatre experiences that i've "hated". some may be leaps and bounds above others, but i usually have a good time in any show where there is talent and creativity. it's entertainment afterall. if it makes you feel better i will say that i was dissapointed with "fiddler" this past weekend (saw it friday night). i enjoyed seeing the rethought staging, but found the characterizations to be quite weak. had a much better experience at "
