This footage makes me really question if the show can hold up in a bigger theater. I hope it can, but it just seems too small and homespun to compete in a big house like that.
Mauri, keep in mind that the Lyceum is usually the home to plays, not musicals. It's not a very large house. The one-man show, I AM MY OWN WIFE, played a successful run there just a few years ago, so a musical with four cast members isn't such a super small fit for this house.

During '525, 600 people all loving our show', I'm assuming there'd be SOME laughter and there's none I can hear. That's one of the jokes that most of audience actually understood.
A lot of similair footage to that other video floating around, but I'm glad they included the part about something kick ass happening every minute. I love it.
Foster- I'm glad to hear that. I've never been to the Lyceum, so I really didn't know what to expect. I'm planning on visiting it in September, though, if the show holds out until then. Its current numbers really concern me.
Drunk Chita Rivera, it did when I saw it as well, but I meant in the video specifically. I was just commenting on the fact that some of the laughter may have been edited in/out.
And how did "525,600 people all lovin' our show!" not get a laugh?

keep it positive mauriposa! All we can do is tell 9 people, cross our fingers and go along for the ride.
The show reads beautifully in the Lyceum, I hope everyone will go and buy a ticket and see for themselves rather than just taking our word for it! haha.
That video is great, good highlights and great songs. I am also assuming that the footage was taken without an audience- As I have seen the show 5 times now (5?!?!? FIVE!) I can almost count on where laughs fall, the length of them and the underlying "haha v. hehe" meaning after punchlines. Most DEF a laugh track in this vid.

After that if he still doesn't understand why you were uncomfortable and are now infuriated, kick him again but this time with Jazz Hands!!! -KillerTofu
Except for Heidi... I feel like the show would come off less smug if professional actors were hired to play the characters... I get the magic of having the creators perform the show... it's sweet... cute... but they don't seem able to add the level of sophistication needed to transcend it's amateur origins. Not trying to be catty... just sayin'.
I love America. Just because I think gay dudes should be allowed to adopt kids and we should all have hybrid cars doesn't mean I don't love America.
