"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."
--Aristotle
Please get Brian d'Arcy James to reprise his role, as well. I'd love to hear his and Martin Moran's duet live once again. Such a gorgeous number. I adore this show.

"I have also met him in person, and I find him to be quite funny actually. Arrogant and often misinformed, but still funny."

This is such WONDERFUL news. I love the music from Titanic and so thrilled for Martin's return. His voice breaks my heart! What an amazing event!!!!

Gorgeous score, wonderful book, great show. That said, a Broadway revival is highly unlikely - the original wasn't successful enough, the production is far too expensive, and who would want to see a scaled-down, Doyle-esque version of this grand panoply?
I am going to plan my summer trip around this for sure. One of the best scores ever written.

I'm playing this show, and I cannot WAIT. I really love this score, and am super excited to finally play it.

Suzanne: I never use catalogs. I'd rather go in the store and see all the salespeople groveling and sucking up to you.
Julia: Pardon me, I never knew they were so solicitous at the K-Mart.
Hey kids! Just wanted to post a link to the ticketing site; we opened sales yesterday and we've already sold 10% of the house in the past 18 hours, so if you wanna come, get 'em now!
Also, if you buy the VIP tickets, you totes get to come to the afterparty! (Which, among other exciting things, means you get to be drunk with ME! :-P) Titanic Tix!!!
