Posted: 9/7/04 at 10:59amJust thinking of that gives me the shivers - I don't have Porgy on my iPod yet, but I do have Ragtime so I think I shall give it a listen as I wait for 5pm to roll around! I think Marin's "Back to Before" is so lovely.
I sing for myself. I sing when I want, whenever I want to, just for me. I sing for my own pleasure. Do you understand that?

Posted: 9/7/04 at 10:59amThat would be something to see. I wish the two of them would do a show together again. Anything at all would be worth seeing if Audra and Brian were in it.

Morning all!
I am sure people have thought of Audra and Stokes doing it (they did do selections with the San Fran Orchestra a few years ago on PBS)...but, for my money, we'd need a truer bass...so how about Michael Bell or Chuck Cooper?
Audra could walk by singing her appointment book and I'd stop and listen.

Congratulations on your place, bway! And I don't know either of those singers, but I'm with you on Audra

oh, My, DGrant...Chuck Cooper is an AMAZING singer. Won a Tony for the Life, I do believe, and was most recently incredibly underused as the Bus in Caroline, Or Change.
He has an absolutely thrilling voice. Thrilling.
Michael Bell was "Ol' Man River" in the Show Boat revival and was also in the Civil War. I'm sure he's done much more. He's one of the only true basses I've heard on Broadway in the last 20 years.

Posted: 9/7/04 at 11:08amThese are the types of things I miss when I'm laying by the pool with a margarita. I think we have The Life OBC, so I'll have to get that out and take a listen.

KMF, I think I'm missing a calling...but my problem would be that I'd actually rate a lot of people on talent over having a nice set of legs or looking good shirtless, which seems to be the prevailing sentiment on Broadway these days.
Could the world actually handle good-looking (if not hot) people capable of actually performing their roles? IT would seem doubtful. :)

Posted: 9/7/04 at 11:16amsee Bway -- there's your problem -- you want the show to have TALENT...I certainly casting directors or producers shared your sentiment! By the way -- great new icon -- Tobey's cute as a button...

ain't he, though?
Oh, as for Casting Directors and whatnot...well, I know many casting directors who truly try to get talent in the door.
I was up for a new musical having a regional debut. I got called in by the casting director who very badly wanted to get me in front of the director (and even said so to me). The end result is that the show was cast by marginal Broadway actors (people who have a few credits and are just establishing their name) in order to boost ticket sales. The director came to NYC with a list of people he wanted to see and that's pretty much all who got in the door.
Casting directors have a LOT less power than anyone would imagine, I fear.

Posted: 9/7/04 at 11:30amSpeaking of icons, KMF ... I have to say I'd cast Zack in my next production.
