Any idea of the staging plans? With a full orchestra, are they going to skimp on the set and give us more of a concert version?

GavestonPS said: "...I've had a couple of days to think about that paragraph claiming Prince treated her "like a stupid chorus girl". I think the passage speaks volumes about LuPone, not so much about Prince. As I said above, she could have handled it by simply saying, "I'm sorry. I thought that was what you wanted. Tell me what you would like instead." Escalating the matter to the point of PTSD was her choice."I, too, have had a couple of days to think about that paragraph and her self-compa...

Does anyone have a promo code valid for September performances?

Christine Pedi on SiriusXM keeps mentioning that Carolee is in the production until "sometime in September." Has her exit date been announced, and I've just missed it?

Do you know when she's leaving? Any info as to whether James Barbour is going too?

10086Sundays said: ""Monster" is definitely meant to be the 11 o'clock number. I just feel in terms of character development, it doesn't work as such. Elsa feels like a monster. We already know this. She's hurt her sister, again, that's bad too. Again, though, information we already have. I think it just didn't feel like it was moving her forward. And then she gets captured. After she's captured, the show follows the movie plot basically. For the person who asked about the final blizzard, the...

DrewJoseph said: "Could it be they're saving the ice palace for Broadway? Would it fit in the Buell theater at all? I mean, they saved the ending flying carpet for Broadway with Aladdin. It just seems weird to not do it right now. Ofcourse the 'taking out the back wall' for the massive sets was still when Bob Cowley designed it. After that they changed the whole creative team. "For those questioning Denver's set limitations, I'll just elaborate that the Buell stage/wingspace is quite large. A...

A friend of mine wants to see Phantom for the first time while he's in town in a few weeks on its Thursday matinee.I've looked at the available discounts and the Broadway Week BOGO offers, but they all exclude front center orchestra. I really want him to have a good view and experience the chandelier.But at the same time, it galls me to pay full price for this show. So, has anyone gotten TKTS for Phantom recently. Where were the offered seats? Is there a benefit of going to South Street Seapo...

Have you considered "Way Ahead of My Time" (a.k.a. The Caveman Song) from "The Taxi Cabaret" by Pete Mills? Bryan Batt:

"I think there should be an "abstract" way to depict her full rampage with lighting, sound effects, perhaps having Carrie walk slowly out into the audience as we hear car breaks, thinks crashing, flipping over, people screaming. I get that it's not going to be literal, but it shouldn't be "hidden" or removed either." Delurking for a minute just to add my support for Besty's directorial idea. I wholeheartedly agree that the destruction's scope needs to be exapanded in some way, and I believe a...

I agree with many of the previously listed shows (particularly Merrily...), but I feel compelled to add at least one more: Marie Christine. I think it's LaChiusa's best, and perhaps most accessible, score. The story is classic and compelling. The cast was, on the whole, extremely talented. But on stage, while good, the show was not a greater elevation of its parts. Listening to the CD, however, is nigh on perfection.

BettyBoy, were the signed copies a limited offering? I don't see that they are available anymore when I go to her site; all that's listed in a link to buy the regular CD. Am I just missing it?

While I believe one can never have too many Parade CDs, the original recording is the must have if one is choosing only one. I think the Donmar production's edits for a cleaner book (and smaller cast) benefit most from a live performance. However, I don't feel that the changes improve upon the CD experience as a whole.

Good news, both on the quick sellout and the early shipping. Can't wait to get mine!

bk, ordered mine on day 1 and am so excited that it has already been shipped! Besty, thanks for the info. I haven't listened to the clips yet, but it's nice to hear that the correction of Orbach's pitch in places has been nicely done (I too shared your pitchaphobia!). Not that I would have expected otherwise, bk.

Smaxie, I knew it couldn't be long until you were here! Thanks for the info; I didn't know that there were plans to recreate the Tiffany fixtures. Anybody know if the apartment is being renovated?

Thanks for the update and for sharing the shots! Where's smaxie with some more insight?

Well, I came to this too late except to hear "In Buddy's Eyes" and "Sunday." I do enjoy my CD, but was anyone able to record the whole program? Please PM if so! ETA: Well, apparently Sunday wasn't the last of it, but still, I'm sad I missed the bulk of the rebroadcast!
