I'M IN LOVE! (and for reasons unknown, I have the song "All I Care About" from Chicago stuck in my head)
"You have two kinds of shows on Broadway – revivals and the same kind of musicals over and over again, all spectacles. You get your tickets for The Lion King a year in advance, and essentially a family... pass on to their children the idea that that's what the theater is – a spectacular musical you see once a year, a stage version of a movie. It has nothing to do with theater at all. It has to do with seeing what is familiar.... I don't think the theatre will die per se, but it's never going to be what it was.... It's a tourist attraction." Stephen Sondheim
Hahaha, she's not an MT major, she's a senior in high school...but she did get called back and flown into NY several times for Spring Awakening. She didn't get it :/
My computer does not load fast enough to keep up with these conversations.

Yeah, those political threads were entertaining. Unfortunately, I had to log off at noon, but it's worth the read should you choose to check 'em out.

The only way I can miss a rehearsal is if I'm in the hospital. Such is the life of an actor. I could fail my sophomore project and be kicked out :/ My whole semester is gone. Class from 8:30 AM-6:30PM (non-stop) then rehearsal from 7-11. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Wasn't she replaced by what's-her-face -- Charlotte Something-or-other?
ETA: d'Amboise is her surname.

Ugh. I don't want to talk about Charlotte d'Amboise, because she seems nice and I respect her career and the relative thanklessness of the roles she's played on Broadway, but I can't say anything nice about her after seeing her as Cassie, so I'd rather just say nothing at all.

I kow scott. It's a hard thing to get over, but remmber that Follies has become a legendary piece of musical theater while Verona is largely forgotten.
The CD is mastered brilliantly. Highly recommended.
