So, now that FRINGE is over, what is everyone looking forward to in the New York Musical Theatre Festival?
My pick: THE BIG VOICE, GOD OR MERMAN? from the creators of the Last Session. I saw a backer's audition last summer and it just had me rolling on the floor, laughing!

I'm with 2Day, I'll be at the Woman Upstairs to see Michael Arden. I could listen to him sing all day and never get bored. :)
I'm also seeing Altar Boyz so I can finally hear Cheyenne perform in something! :)
Hopefully my reservations to Caligula will go through because I needs to see me some Euan. It's been far too long.
And totally psyched about the Jeremy Kushnier concert. Love him, love him, love him!

i helped out with the staged reading of God or Merman? last year, and i am so glad that they are doing it again at the NYMF. i hope i do get to see it, but there are a very limited amount of times i can come in and see a show.

Unfortunately, Michael is no longer doing THE WOMAN UPSTAIRS, due to a scheduling conflict. However, the show is well worth seeing - with a terrific cast including two-time Tony nominee Alison Fraser, Kate Shindle, Aaron Ramey, and Deb Heinig.
More details will appear soon, I'm sure.

It is correct that due to conflicts with Bare rehearsal that Michael won't be doing the Woman Upstairs, buuuut... I have heard a lot of Brian Lowdermilk's music, and the rest of the cast is fantastic, so while you might not get your Arden fix, you'll still have a great time.

I do like the music that I have heard from the show, so hopefully it will be a good time! Thanks for the info!!
And, if I can't meet Mr. Arden, at least I get to meet MoG! :-P

Any recommendations for shows to see?
I have 'The Woman Upstairs', 'Top Gun: The Musical', and 'A Hundred Years into the Heart' so far. I have one more ticket to use. I will be getting in town either late Fri, Oct 1st or early Oct2nd which makes my choice of shows to see very limited.

"The Man Who Would Be King" looks interesting, if for no other reason, because it stars Marc Kudich and Brian D'Arcy James.

I know Newcomer. So am I.
BTW, I think I'll just follow you around on the board because I think our icons look cute back to back.
I'm dorky like dat.

"Any recommendations for shows to see?"
The Big Voice! (of course) It's a two man show about falling in love (with each other). HUGE humor value and a heart.

Posted: 8/30/04 at 2:23pmWouldn't Euan Morton be playing Caligula, not Ceasar? I saw the concert reading with Kevin Cahoon (he played Caligula). the cast was good, but the show itself was way too long and not very interesting. Music was ok, nothing very memorable though.

Margo~ Mark & Brian will not be doing "The Man Who Would Be King". Both just recently were cast in other projects. However, Merwin Foard WILL take over one of the roles. Look him up, he's done a zillion shows.
I am scheduled to do an article and interviews with them this week.
