There was a segment on how Defying Gravity is performed that was on CBS2 news. It's a really cool video with Stephanie J.Block and some cool clips from the show!

that was pretty awesome, looks like the set isn't that much scaled down for the tour at all.

There's no one I could sing that good when hoisted up in the sky

"So strap me in a harness
and hoist me up to the sky!
In all the big shows lately
all the leading ladies have to fly!
And hanging from the rafters
I'll dangle like a blimp
Pump up my volume, as I kill my flying chimp!"


Haha who doesn't love FB:SVU

Ooh, that was great! Those clips of the show looked much more professional and planned than a normal local news broadcast would take; I hope they will be used in commercials for the tour!

The clips look like they're from the press reels - the shots and songs chosen match up pretty well with what all of the NYC reviews and promo bits used.

/wishes that shows would just post the darn things online
