It specifically says that they're not looking for on stage talent, as offers have been made to the original regional company. Understudies only.

I can play the loot, harpsichord, mandolin and the lele does that count?

I wonder how this will do with no names.

I mean, SWEENEY isn't chock full of names, either. But, one must assume a large amount of avid theatregoers went (at least partly) to see the stage return of Patti LuPone.

Then again, since 70% of the audiences today are tourists, if SWEENEY can make it...so can COMPANY.

Why do I have the feeling that some of these tourists are going to come in and look at the marquee and think:


WOW! They made a musical out of THREE'S COMPANY??

[FOAnatic]

I don't think they're THAT stupid.

Well...not all of them.

I wonder who's going to understudy Raul.

That's not someone I'll envy....

Personally, I wouldn't be shocked if tourists walk in and are upset that they don't see Three's Company...

Pinball:
What's the lele?

[ThePinballWizard]

Posted: 5/8/06 at 12:23am

A cross between a mandolin, flute and a loot.

none of which are in the COMPANY orchestra

But they could be! Imagine Marta playing a mean Harpsichord while singing Another Hundred People!

Or perhaps the *lute*

I wish they kept in Tick Tock. Perhaps they could have had Kathy dance with an accordian or something

or the Uke?

I play Piano and Saxaphone - if only I lived in NYC. damn!

I hope Raul works on his enunciation. I can't understand a damnw word he sings on "Tick Tick Boom"

eh, it works without Tick Tock. I don't really miss it, because the way the transition is done so seamlessly fits into the style of the rest of the production.

Have you seen the regional production then?

[FOAnatic]

Posted: 5/16/06 at 9:16pm

I don't want Walsh to bring it to Broadway.

There's got to be a better Joanne out there.

[kristin3]

Posted: 5/16/06 at 9:17pm

Walsh really does kick ass though. You should see her!

"eh, it works without Tick Tock."

It doesn't work without Tick Tock. Out of the three girlfriends, Marta sings "Another 100 People", April has the butterfly monoglogue and, minus Tick Tock, Kathy has nothing to do. The dance is needed to balance out the girlfriends' contributions.

That's truly the only problem I found with the exclusion of Tick Tock, and I found it, in my opinion, to be a very minor problem. I think having a dance number in this production would be more awkward than not having it.

Kristin3, yes, I did -- it's pure genius.

Walsh was one of the two or so cast members I could live without -- she was fine, but kind of expendable, and she and Raul together didn't really do it for me. It felt like a battle for who could win over the deadpan.
