Part of me doesn't know how to answer that. I know a lot of people are anti-"close to broadway people" but I did meet her through RENT, but it's a little more than just a "Hey, how are you" casual whatever. But I wouldn't say she's like, my best friend or something.

Like I said, I don't really know how to answer that. I'm pretty good friends with her cousin, and she (Kelly) and I keep in touch regularly. No big deal.

I'm not anti-"i know broadway people" lol... but that's cool. I don't care fi you are not great friends or not friends at all or just average. I just was curious. That's cool though, definetly keep us updated please.

And also tell her I thought she did a great job! lol, well don't gotta say I did cuz who the hell am I to her, she doesn't know me! But yea, you get what I mean... she was really good.

Anywayz, this better go further or I'll be disappointed.

That's just always something awkward to answer, because it's hard to say "Oh yeah, I totally know her" without sounding like a snob, and it's not true to say "Oh, she's just someone I met a couple of times", so it's complicated. But I'll totally pass the word along.

I actually heard something pretty awesome tonight. Cross your fingers!

*crosses the fingers*

I didn't get tickets before they sold out, but I've managed to get in TWICE through the cancellation line. Once on opening night, and once today (though I've waited at almost every performance... it's been impossible. The ticket girl now knows my name I've been there so many times. They had set up some extra chairs on the side today, and she just gave me a program and stuck me in one along with a few other people who didn't have seats).

I talked to Kelly and her mother for a bit in the Virgin Megastore last week. Kelly's mother said she'd heard that because of the big cast, they'd have to go right to Broadway rather than off-broadway.

(Oh, and could you do me a favor? If you do talk to Kelly anywhere in the near future, tell her: Mariah from the Virgin store says hi. And I did manage to get in again! I was going to say hello to her after the show, but it started raining and she was running around all crazy busy with something and I didn't want to bother her. But she did a fantastic job anyways.
I understand if you don't want to, but I though I'd ask :)) Updated On: 9/24/05 at 01:58 AM

Ok, so just outta curiosity what did everbody think of Enrico Rodriguez ? He played the character of Dolph and was part of the Gay Boy Band!!! His solo was unbelievable!!! He can belt!! =)

He was REALLY good... his solo was amazing. I thought he did great with that and everything else too, although that was his one big moment and he really did a great job.

I have to post and say I finally saw this musical yesterday, and all I could think was "Off-Broadway theater, pronto!"

It was perfect! A couple casting redos would make me happier, but its simply awesome!

I saw it yesterday. I'm now in love with Kelly Karbacz.

Curtain Up posts another very favorable review.

Curtain up on Cheerleader

Wow, they sure loved it.

The exigencies of staging also make Cheerleader tighter and more interesting. Cheerleading becomes a transition motif, with a small squad announcing each scene. Every dance number becomes a virtuosic cheer. Double-casting that places everyone from Megan's homophobic hometown in a gay bar, reenvisioning her traditional mother as its leatherbound matriarch, adds a layer of ironic amusement.

oh, bwaysinger, you know that people don't need an emoticon to show their ass!

It's true, but an avatar or something would be fablous.

Chandra Lee Schwartz is a star-to-be.

Big bump to announce a wonderful achievement for "But I'm a Cheerleader."
It was announced at the closing ceremonies as the winner of the Golden NYMFette, the Audience Award winner.
Congrats, Cheerleader!

They were my second choice, but I'm happy nonetheless.

[bwaysinger]

Posted: 10/3/05 at 4:24pm

Poo on you, MEF!
But, regardless of your actual choice, I hope you enjoyed both Cheerleader and the other shows!

I loved CHEERLEADER! Chandra Schwartz and Kelly Karbacz rock.

[bwaysinger]

Posted: 10/3/05 at 5:56pm

They were definitely two of the best parts of that show, no doubt!

I'm glad But I'm a Cheerleader has been so well received. I've been telling the composer how much his show is liked (he's my voice instructor). He's so thankful for that and the opportunity. Thank you everyone!
