I totally agree with you, volleyballer. Catered Affair's music was boring and I don't really remember much of it.
"A birdcage I plan to hang. I'll get to that someday. A birdcage for a bird who flew away...Around the world."
"Life is a cabaret old chum, only a cabaret old chum, and I love a cabaret!"-RIP Natasha Richardson-I was honored to have witnessed her performance as Sally Bowles.
The Phantom of the Opera would be great as a play... Also A Chorus Line....
sorry I was bored and it is friday but seriously...
I kind of think that Mamma Mia would have been a cute comedy play without the music.
"Whenever I get gloomy with the state of the world, I think about the arrivals gate at Heathrow Airport. General opinion's starting to make out that we live in a world of hatred and greed, but I don't see that. It seems to me that love is everywhere. Often it's not particularly dignified or newsworthy, but it's always there - fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, boyfriends, girlfriends, old friends. When the planes hit the Twin Towers, as far as I know none of the phone calls from the people on board were messages of hate or revenge - they were all messages of love. If you look for it, I've got a sneaky feeling you'll find that love actually is all around."
I'll probably tick off some people but Spelling Bee. The songs killed the action for me. I never made it all the way through the cast recording either.
SPRING AWAKENING is much more challenging and effective as a play.
"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.”
~ Muhammad Ali
"If this is going to be a Christian nation that doesn't help the poor, either we have to pretend that Jesus was just as selfish as we are, or we've got to acknowledge that He commanded us to love the poor and serve the needy without condition and then admit that we just don't want to do it." -Stephen Colbert
Company would be great as a straight play, but I won't say "better" cuz I don't want a torch-wielding gang coming at my door (plus I love the music, and I think it's one of the few examples of a book and score working well independent of each other).
