Well, there are a lot of shows on the potential list and I didn't buy any tickets because I wanted to leave my options open.

The only thing that I am definitely seeing is "Elegies for Angels, Punks, and Raging Queens" at Pace on Tuesday and Rent on Sunday. (I gotta feed my Hanke mancrush)

Beyond that shows that are on the list are:
Spring Awakening, Evil Dead, Les Miserables, Company, A Chorus Line, The Fantasticks, High Fidelity & Grey Gardens.

I'm just going with the flow though. :)

Ah! You'll have to keep me posted about Elegies, as Pace is my oh so beloved alma mater. Pity you just missed Urinetown. I was really hoping to see it, as it's one of my all-time favorites! Wonder if they'll get sued for stealing choreography and lighting design?!?!?

Whatever you end up doing, I'm sure you'll have a blast...Hopefully you'll have better weather than last November. It's been pretty rainy this week (miserable tonight), so maybe thing's will be clearer next week!

Yeah, it's suppose to be clearing up fortunately.

With any luck, this time tomorrow night I'll be sitting at the Seattle Cafe podcasting about Spring Awakening while enjoying a mediocre cookie unlike any mediocre cookie I can get in Los Angeles. :)

Ooh, sounds like a fun trip, Pat! How long will you be in the city?
I'm seeing Spring Awakening on Thanksgiving day (from on-stage, thanks to Nic!) and I'm so excited. I highly recommend seeing Grey Gardens (that's the only one on your list of possibilities that I've seen already).

I don't know if you guys heard but the Dreamgirls roadshow at the Ziegfield is costing $25!



Just kidding.

Anyway, Stephen, let me know which ones you decide on! I'm waffling on exactly the same shows as you (except I already have my Les Mis tickets) and I'll consider my other show based on your suggestion!

HAHAHAHAH!!!

I know I shouldn't really care. I mean, it's not like any of us are going to be there, but there's something about the thought of that song being played again (and full-band, no less!) that just makes me giddy! God, I really hope they actually play it, and I hope a really good boot surfaces!

[Type_A_Tiff]

Posted: 11/18/06 at 3:32pm

We're on for Friday, gals! Nic, I have Win's okay so you can spoon with me on my double at night.

We don't have to meet up with her at the Lunt-Fontanne if we're somewhere else so it's not a biggie (but come on, if you want to watch a train wreck, watch Winnie get a pic with Donny Osmond!) so Claire, we can do something after Company!

BTW, no way! One Tree Hill in NZ? SHOCKER! LOL

Oh Nic...okay, that is pretty exciting. But not as exciting as if they had sung, say, Angel of Harlem AT MSG. (Well, I guess more specifically if they sang it, er, outside The Apollo?)

Updated On: 11/18/06 at 03:32 PM

Posted: 11/18/06 at 4:40pm

The fact that they didn't play Angel of Harlem at MSG (to me anyway) makes One Tree Hill all the more exciting. I know the NZ connection is blazingly obvious, but it's not as if they've been terribly adventurous lately.

And huzzah for potential spooning! Haha. There's still a bit of a glimmer out there that I may have to pass up the opportunity to get super cozy (drat!)...*fingers crossed*

And I have to tell you, I had time to kill before a train earlier this summer, so after I came out of the Marquis, I saw the crowd gathering at the Lunt. I stuck around hoping for some quality humor in the Donny stage door antics, but it was suprisingly low key.

Hey, it's all only about a month away! Good times!

Bump for MelbourneII (and the return of BAD!...and The First Time)

City Of Blinding Lights
Vertigo / She Loves You (snippet) / Beds Are Burning (snippet)
Elevation / Spinning Around (snippet)
Until The End Of The World
I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For
Beautiful Day / Blackbird (snippet)
Angel Of Harlem
The First Time
Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own / Torna A Surriento (snippet)
Love And Peace Or Else
Sunday Bloody Sunday
Bullet The Blue Sky / When Johnny Comes Marching Home (snippet) / The Hands That Built America (snippet)
Miss Sarajevo
Pride (In The Name Of Love)
Where The Streets Have No Name
One / Unchained Melody (snippet)

Encore(s):
The Fly
Mysterious Ways
With Or Without You
The Saints Are Coming
Party Girl
Kite
Bad / Ruby Tuesday (snippet) / 40 (snippet)

That's a pretty damn good setlist, I'd say. Even the snippets are good, what with Ruby Tuesday and 40 at the end of Bad (still a bit jealous that Tiff got to hear Bad as it's meant to be with RT) and Unchained Melody after One!!! It's a little lite on the early early stuff (I feel like they should at least toss in IWF if they aren't going to be more adventurous with Out of Control, Electric Co, Gloria, etc) but really, a minor quibble.

My other quibble being: I really do hope they retire Bullet for the next tour, whenever that may be. And I particularly don't like the Vertigo version. The Johnny Comes Marching Home Again and Hands that Built America snippets blow (and I wish they'd flesh out Please, if they insist on still playing it). It's a great song and all, but in my own mind at least, I don't think of it as something that should be a given in the way that Streets, One, or even Pride are. I just looked at that that Axver guy's crazy site that has all the statistics on how often songs are played on every tour. Bullet is always in the top 3 (other than Lovetown, and even then it looked like there were only a couple shows it wasn't played at). Give it a rest boys! There's got to be some other rocker they can slip in there.

I really love that setlist. I'm glad they're shaking it up a little!

[Type_A_Tiff]

Posted: 11/19/06 at 3:57pm

One/Unchained Melody! *DIES* Didn't they do a snippet of Unchained Melody on the last leg too? I vaguely remember seeing that once. One of these days I'll make my dream set list (it's such a daunting task!) but I can assure you Unchained Melody would be there in all its glory, not just a snippet!

I could also live without Bullet/Johnny/Hands again.

Speaking of songs we're sick of, how long as Miracle Drug been off the setlists?

[mabel]

Posted: 11/19/06 at 4:57pm

I do think I remember Unchained Melody showing up somewhere else on the tour (and the Tiff-giddiness that followed).

I think Miracle Drug popped up again a few times after they cut it. It's not even that I don't like it, but I also don't think it was good enough to not be a rotated song. I think once in a multi-city stay would have been fine for it. They really have cut down on the Bomb songs. I know it's going on 2 years old, but only 4 songs?!?! I think there were a fair number of concerts in there that had 8 wheren't there (with something like 7 being pretty routine most of the early legs)?

Yeah, it was definitely a lot more in the first few legs. I'm remembering Vertigo, COBL, MD, LAPOE and SYCMIOYO were always on there and some variety of All Because Of You, OOTS and Yahweh were there too right? (And did we get Crumbs? I thought we did...)

[mabel]

Posted: 11/19/06 at 5:39pm

No Crumbs for us (I think they played it at the other MSG shows that we were at) but we did get Fast Cars...TWICE! God, I love that song. Yeah, ABOY got axed a while ago, with Miracle Drug, and it looks like Yahweh and OotS are kind of getting filtered out.

Oh, and I just saw that the interview they taped for HBO is supposed to air next Friday. I've got to figure out how to set the VCR timer, since my parents finally scrapped their "we get every channell under the sun, yet there's still rarely anything on" cable package a few months ago (including HBO!...and IFC, which aired a VERY fun Making of The History Boys special this afternoon...alas, we only get it upstairs where I'm staying now, and there's only a DVD player, no burner/VCR up here... )

[Type_A_Tiff]

Posted: 11/19/06 at 6:40pm

I can live without ABOY (although if I was seeing the tour for the first time, I'd want it in - it's so much fun to wail along to!) but OOTS is just a really good near-the-end-of-the-concert downer song!

Boo, we don't get HBO here but I'll try to have some sympathy for you anyway! Now History Boys...that's exciting. Is it getting released earlier in NY? Should we do the hop from Dreamgirls to that?

[mabel]

Posted: 11/20/06 at 7:35am

HAHA! I doubt HB will even still be running on 12/22! It's out in limited release Wednesday, so we'll see what some of the reviews say, but I have my doubts. While I LOVED the show, I have very low expectations. Actually, while I'm still excited to see it on the big screen (THRILLED to see that my little local town hall theatre in NH has it listed for starting 12/22!), I'm actually more excited about these making of type things and the DVD release. The movie may be terrible, but I do love those boys, so any behind the scenes stuff (and fingers crossed for an audio commentary track!) are always going to provide some quality moments.

Anyway, I think if we were to go the movie route, Dreamgirls seems like it would be much more bang for your buck!

[#1Elphie]

Posted: 11/24/06 at 6:42pm

Bump!

I saw Spring Awakening yesterday and loved it. Nic, my seat on-stage was wonderful, so thanks again for that! The music was fabulous, the acting was great...it was just a really good experience overall. So I highly recommend it.

Pat, how was your trip to NYC? What shows did you see?

How was everyone's Thanksgiving? Mine was good. We always cram about 40 of my family members into an NYC apartment, and it's a good thing that I love my family, because it's definitely cozy.

[mabel]

Posted: 11/24/06 at 10:11pm

No prob, Elph! I'll have to get around to seeing it one of these days myself.

I tried posting a picture this morning to spread the good joy, but U2 have restored my faith in them (at least as far as them not being totally lazy when it comes to their setlists). They busted out a full band version of One Tree Hill in NZ today (or yesterday?...whenever!). Good for them! It really would have been kind of pathetic if they didn't (at least an acoustic version).

I had a nice, quiet Thanksgiving. Excellent food (way more than we needed, and I'm totally looking forward to leftovers tomorrow). Definitely the polar opposite of your day, Claire! Did you have to sit on laps?

We did a bit of Black Friday shopping. My parents bought a DVD recorder (with the VHS transfer) so hopefully I can make some copies of stuff for you guys over Christmas (depends on what I can fit in my bag to bring back with me, I suppose). I also got a TON of DVDs on sale. Guess I know what I'll be getting for Christmas!!

Anyway, guess that's about it...Talk to you guys later!

I'm glad you had a great Thanksgiving, Nic. And it sounds like you were very successful at your black Friday shopping! You were braver than me to face the crowds.

[mabel]

Posted: 11/26/06 at 8:39am

OMG! Can you believe AucklandII?? Bad and One Tree Hill in one set (if they'd doubled them up and closed with them back to back...I'd venture to guess there'd be a fair number of people who just wouldn't be able to muster the wherewithal to actually leave!) Definitely need those boots!

And re: our Black Shopping outing...I didn't really do much braving of the crowds. We started to head down to the mall, saw the crazy crowds just to get into the parking lot, opted to have lunch and a movie instead and swung back by around 8pm, and there was nobody there! Sure a lot of stuff was picked over, but I certainly found more than enough crap to feel I got a deal.

My mom and I saw a few movies this week. We went to Happy Feet, and it was so terrible, we left after about 15 minutes and saw Flushed Away instead (my dad won't go to cartoons with her, so she has to soak it up while I'm home!). I also saw The Queen again with her (another that you'd have to literally drag my dad to). Then we also saw Casino Royale and For Your Consideration (not as good as some of Guest's others, but I still laughed a hell of a lot more than I did at Borat!).

Anyway, I should probably make an attempt to pack my stuff back up...feeble as I'm sure it will be.

[mabel]

Posted: 11/29/06 at 11:48am

Tokyo Setlist...Debut of Window in the Skies and THEY KEPT ONE TREE HILL. SO jealous of those Honolulu folks, as I'd reckon it'll stick in there for the rest of the tour. And I'm sad to see they dumped yet another HTDAAB song. I'm sure it will come as no great shock that I'd rather see BTBS scrapped than L&POE. Oh well!

the best thing about Happy Feet was the Harry Potter 5 trailer
