I'm going on Sunday; My dance survey teacher is the choreographer. I'll post how she is, but I won't do a review 'cause I would probably suck. lol.

Pleaaaase do a review! I'm seeing it on the 16th, and I'll probably write one up too.

It's quite complete, not a tab version.

It's nice to see Conrad John Schuck, who's getting a bit old for it but is very good.

It's a very respectable touring version, though the cast could use a few more people and the orchestra could use a few more players. Kathie Lee is not funny, but I suppose she's just the latest in a long line of women who've tried to give a Loudon-type performance in the role without having Loudon's genius.

Sound is surprisingly decent for such a big space. Updated On: 12/9/06 at 12:19 AM

Kathie Lee gives a unbelievably realistic portrait of a Bitter Women in charge of a group of helpless children working for pennies.

Thanks for the character description, CPD, for those who weren't already familiar with Miss Hannigan. (?)

There's a line in the script where Hannigan orders the girls to get to their sewing machines, "cause there's a new batch of dresses coming in today and you'll finish them up if you've gotta work straight through to midnight." Uncomfortably close to Ms. Gifford's own child-labor scandal, isn't it?

Some people give better performances off stage than on.
