Pennsylvania somewhere=Pittsburgh
I saw the third preview. Personally, I loved it. Apparently, it had been re-tooled a lot in Pittsburgh, so I don't know what changes were made. It flowed seamlessly from dialogue into song. It's a character study more so than a plot driven show.
Some people paint, some people sew, I meddle.

I saw the very first public performance of the show.
I thought it was OK with some nice songs. Nothing too great.
I really hope they retooled a lot of it.
There's another thread on this if you want to do a search with more detailed analysis of the show.
Personally, I think I have too much bloom.

Posted: 8/4/07 at 3:42pmI saw it, I was pretty dissapointed. There's a few really great songs, but that was the only positive of the show. It needs a lot of work, but we'll see what happens it's off-broadway.
Theatre is a safe place to do the unsafe things that need to be done.

Posted: 8/4/07 at 8:06pmI'm planning on seeing it this winter in New York. I hope it's good.

Posted: 8/17/07 at 7:46pmYa, it was in Pittsburgh at the Public Theater. I worked front of house for The Glorious Ones so I got to see it multiple times. I think it is fantastic. I would love to audition for the upcoming Lincon Center production but I'm having some trouble finding information on it. Yet, I know they need at least one position filled, because the girl who played Isabella, Jenny Powers, is currently in Grease on Broadway.

Posted: 8/17/07 at 7:57pmI know nothing about this show, except that Erin Davie is in it. And I'm so there.

Very few people can tell the two places apaart. That's why we need PatiB (That's how she's known to her theater pals).

Live there. You'll know the difference.

Posted: 8/17/07 at 8:55pmI'd like to know if anyone out there who's read the novel has seen it. From what I've read of reviews, it seems they took a lighter approach to the material than the novel (which seems to be the norm).

Anyone know if Natalie Venetia Belcon will be doing this at Lincoln Center?
Thanks

I know LCT members can purchase their tickets for this show beginning August 27th...
Based on the box office schedule of Cymbeline, which has Member sales from 8/15 - 8/26, and General Public sales beginning on the 27th of August, can we expect approximately two weeks of LCT member sales for The Glorious Ones as well?
I have one spot left open for my November trip to the city, and I would really like to see a new musical and, considering I already have tickets to Young Frankenstein and The Little Mermaid, I am kind of hoping for something a little... how can i put it... off the beaten path, perhaps?

Erin Davie is the only cast member I know of.
I wish I could see this if only for her.

Through about the WEIRDEST glitch I've ever experienced, my last post somehow got posted under ray-andallthatjazz86's account. ??? Has that ever happened to anyone else?
Anyway, my post simply elaborated on ashley's with character names:
Marc Kudisch - Flaminio Scala
Natalie Venetia Belcon - Columbina
Erin Davie - Isabella Andreini
John Kassir - Dottore
David Patrick Kelly - Pantalone
Julyana Soelistyo - Armanda Ragusa
Jeremy Webb - Francesco Andreini
All, except for Kudisch and Davie, were in the Pittsburgh cast, and were phenomenal.
