I don't even want to think back on how much I've spent in regards to trips to NYC. Just makes my head hurt. LOL
That's it! There are more pics in the brochure but they are too big to scan...
I hope you enjoyed the pictures... well, obviously you did. *g*
Okay, I am seriously in love with the costumes and set for that show. LOL It's just very... colorful and grand, even though there's still a dark sense to it all.
Yes, the production design was really awesome. My only complaint would be that, because of the heavy use of projections, the set sometimes had a very cold and sterile feeling to it...
But the technical aspect of the show was really impressive as well. They used (if I remember correctly) nine platforms that rose out of the stagefloor and they moved so fast! I guess the actors had to be in very good shape *g*
Damn, I want to see a production of this!!! *whine*
Here's a spiffy link to a fan page about Hunchback, very interesting. There's also a trailer for the show which is quite neat.

Someone posted this link on the Drew Sarich LJ community. It's to vote for nominees for the Broadway.com Audience Awards. Drew is up for a nomination for a few (Featured Actor, Breakthrough Performance, ....other things I don't think I can remember at 3AM). So yeah, go vote.

Just been listening to his Jesus on the new German concert recording. Its terrific. Such a raw edge to his vocals and he wails and belts like the best of them.
So is there a recording with him singing Judas? Cause its even higher than Jesus I would love to hear what he does with the role.
I'd also like to add my general love for Notre Dame and damn Disney for not bringing it to Broadway. Its no more dark than Sweeney, West Side Story or Roundabout's Cabaaret. Drew is sensational on the recording but my favourite track remains "Hell Fire". Its raised up a few tones for the big finish and sounds terrific with all the choral backing.
Isn't Drew playing Judas on the concert recording? o.O
Was there a cast recording for that production of Jesus Christ Superstar where Drew was Judas? Because if there is, then there's that one. But the concert version he did last year was with him as Jesus. Sadly, I haven't gotten my hands on that recording yet, but SOON!
IS there an offical recording with him as Judas? I didn't think there was, but I'm not sure. On his site theres a page with the CD's his voice is featured on.
CD's
I don't think there's an offical recording, no.
One of my friends saw the production in Nyack with Porter and Skinner, and said it was incredible. He's not really a fan of JCS itself, but the entire cast, especially Drew, was apparently fantastic. They should've recorded THAT one! (It was before his jaunt into Europe.)
Review in the NYT
JCS is my favorite show, so I'm anxious to get my hands on the concert recording, as I've said before.
I wonder who Drew likes playing more: Judas or Jesus?
you can get recordings with him on http://www.soundofmusic-shop.de/
just search for drew sarich there

My understanding is it's completely sold out, but Drew is working on getting a 2nd press done ASAP. :)
And I'm not one to spread rumors... but I hear our boy may or may not be going on as Lestat on the 16th.. *innocent whistle*
The 16th? I'd heard a rumor it was the 19th?
Oops. I meant the 19th, but yeah, it probably WAS started by you, Joanna. :-P Good job getting people's hopes up... LOL
And about the CD.... probably. Drew's working on it, though!
No. Because I'd be freaking out ridiculous amounts (in a good way) if I went and saw Lestat and opened my Playbill to find a "at tonight's performance..." sheet with Drew as Lestat. Maybe no tears, but there would be definite "OHMYGODOHMYGODYAY!" going on.
I love it, too. Though I felt really bad getting rid of my Kevin Kern avatar in the process. I need a picture of Drew, Jim, and Kevin. Then I'll make THAT my avatar and be content.
I also wouldn't mind seeing Will Swenson. Why?

Will is a nice looking man.
The cool thing about this is when Drew goes on for Lestat, Will will be on as Armand.
The movie clips are hysterical, too.
I wonder if he really is hardcore Mormon, or just plays one in the movies. 'Cuz I'm sure he couldn't be all that comfortable doing some of the Armand stuff. (Or at least wasn't, starting out.)
