Threadjack - when I was doing a run of the original show, some of the cast actually made up a whole production called Into Da Hood. We performed it twice between shows. And EVERYONE died.

Oh, and btwwz, anyone like The Sleepy Chaperone?

I've heard good stuff about 24th Daily Montgomery Township Quiz Bowl.

Anyone know about Cannedmeatoften?

Booty and Beast

Threadjack: That reminded me of Pepper Ann. It was a flashback to when she was five and said she wanted to get home to watch her favorite show "Boo-tay and the Bizzeast"

How I remember that, I have no idea.

Back to what Matthew darling is trying to get across... Wicked and Rent can't be killing youth.

Because almost all of my friends have never heard of Wicked or Rent.

South Passaic (was that it?)

Death of a Salesman on Ice

It isn't Avenue R...it's Avenue Screw...gosh, you must be faking your love for theature.

I also love how this thread turned into spoofing actual show titles!

Let's not forget Adam Googootel's lovely orchestrations of The Dark in the Pizza.

how old are you?

this is exactly why we need a newbie board where they are kept until they can articulate an intelligent post. Between this and your "noogie" post.......I'd say a good 6 months.

Many people find when they join that they sit back and lurk for a bit....to get a feel for the board....rather than starting gung ho with silly posts....



and all, don't forget The Poodle in the Piazza, courtesy of cturtle

Is that the puddle where the poodle did the piddle?

Oh sorry, that was a little bit of "First Day of the Week in the "if it were in NJ it would be closed now" with Gershwin...

Let's try to get this all straight. The essential idea in all this to introduce live theatre to young people. Rent or Wicked can't 'kill' the youth. There is something special about live theater. Remember the feeling you get when you know you're off to the theatre for a show? The ability to suspend reality? The girls are beautiful, the guys handsome, the clothes special, the music,fantastic and for that brief moment, the whole world stops and everything is real? That's why people go to the theater.

For people like us, that log on to websites like this or spend their hard earned money to attend live theatre, whether Broadway, Chicago or some po-dunk Summer stock theatre in the midwest, don't ever forget the power and influence the music and performances may have on that member of the audience that decides that performance of "Cats" or "Wicked" or my favorite "Violet" were life altering moments when the decision about what you want to do with the rest of your life becomes clear, " I want to perform!" What a great gift it is, indeed, for communities or schools to have the wherewithal to stage the great American Musicals that have inspired generation after generation of American youth to seek their futures on the stage?

Is Wicked or Rent killing youth? Just remember back to the first time you saw West Side Story or Oklahoma or Rent. Wait for a moment or two: now think.... Now answer that question for yourself.

I wished that "Caroline, or Credit Cards" would have lasted longer on Broadway.

One of my all-time favorites is FURRY LADY (though I still maintain that Stripaknee K. Blink would make a fantastic Fanny Brace!). And then there's NORTH ATLANTIC...and, oh! EVILA! That's currently my favorite Andrew Loyd Wright musical!

Puberty the Musical? (Not a Sondheim show)

As a former teacher I am somewhat gratified that the poor kid who started all this hilarity *might* now realize that spelling and all that grammar stuff actually does count.

In an ideal world...
However, as you can see, this is not it
