Posted: 3/10/09 at 8:34pmHaha great line... A bit random, but it's fine. A major portion of the show is random in itself...

Posted: 3/10/09 at 8:44pmI guess it's all good as long as they don't make fun of a kid with a terminal illness, right? Then everybody freaks out.

Ask any Jonas Brothers fan, Diabetes IS a terminal illness.

Hey guys, don't make fun of diabetes. I don't care which crappy pop star has it.
Don't make me get Dollypop in here to open a can of whoop-ass on's y'alls.

Well I suppose Jeanine Tesori and David Lindsey-Abaire (and by extension DreamWorks) is making light of not only a deadly disease, transvestitism, and Scientology, but horrific murder as well!
No wonder Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron flopped at the box office!

Haha
And I'm truly sorry, if I upset anybody... Of course diabetes is a horrible disease. Just pointing out the randomness of that.

Posted: 3/12/09 at 4:27pmI saw Shrek with Rachel Resheff She was not at all that bad, or she wouldn't be in a Broadway musical. While Leah is still great, Rachel was also great and equally as adorable.

Posted: 3/12/09 at 4:36pmi guess we'll have to agree to disagree, because i've seen both and i think rachel's voice is much worse and is also MUCH less cute. plus she definitely doesnt have leah's comedic timing

I agree, Leah is better, but honestly, Rachel's voice is truly not that bad. Not as great as Leah's, not as special, but she's still got some developing pipes and I guarantee you that she'll go places. And yeah, I guess you beat me out on the cuter factor. But i don't know... in a non pedophile kinda way, Rachel's the kind of little girl that you really wanna hug. Don't ask me why. And she was really sweet at the stage door...

There are parts of the Shrek cast recording that I love and stuff that I thought could have been left out. I love "I Think I Got You Beat" till, like most people, the fart/belching section comes up. Still, it's a good song. I also miss Chris's Defying Gravity bit. I was actually wondering if they had cut a song out or something. But I'm guessing I'm wrong.
I love Leah in "I Know It's Today." brilliant song too. And I love "When Words Fail" and "Big Beautiful World reprise."
When I saw the production and when i listen to it, I really did not like "Donkey Pot Pie." And having 3 women sing as the dragon just didn't work for me at all.
and maybe it will take some time but any songs that the fairy tale characters sing I don't really like. and is it just me or does John Tartaglia in "Story of My Life" sound in some sections like Rachel York in Victor/Victoria? the same annoying high pitched voice.
"Who I'd Be" is also a great song. And the "Finale."
and I also saw Rachel as young Fiona and I have to say that Leah sounds better on the recording and the demo. But Rachel did a great job onstage, commanding the stage for the short time she had on it alone.
<--- the set of A Midsummer Night's Dream that I was assistant stage manager for during the 2007 season at the STNJ outdoor stage.
-Dre- You must remember all the same that at the crux of every game is knowing when it's time to leave the table... And it's important to be artful in your exit. No turning back, you must accept the con is done... It was a ball, it was a blast. And it's a shame it couldn't last. But every chapter has to end, you must agree.

Dre, couldn't have said it better. Rachel is not the better of the young Fiona's but she takes control of the stage when she is on it.
And yes- they cut out the Goodbye Song.
