I LOVE CAMP. Acting is so horrible, but the movie is go great that it doesn't matter. Sasha Allan is also in it (she is in BARE).......LOVE HER VOICE.

She would have made a killer diller Aida if they weren't so insistent on stunt-casting.

Right! I hate stunt-casting. Unknowns are usually 100x better. There are hundreds of black girls that can sing circles around Toni and Michelle. I'm not hating on Deborah. She is actually a good singer. I didn't see her in the role though. I saw Heather.

I have never seen AIDA. In fact, I haven't even heard all of the cast recording. Shamefull, I know.

You must listen to the cast recording. I live in Atlanta, so I remember back when the show was "Elaborate Lives: The Legend of Aida." Do you remember hearing about the revolving pyramid. That was the main set piece and it didn't turn out to well. The show was completely restaged, along with the addition of Adam Pascal, in Chicago and that is the version that went to Broadway.

I not only own the OBC, I own the concept album.

I heard the concept album once, and didn't like it. Granted I don't usually like concept albums with pop singers on them, except CIVIL WAR (and they were country singers, and I hate country. Go fig.). OMG, I love that cd.

It was interesting. I was really surprised to hear the OBC after becoming used to the concept album. I do remember liking "Written in the Stars". Of course, Heather brought down the house with "Elaborate Lives".

What happened to the Alright Now thread?
I think it was deleted.
What on Earth were you talking about after I left?
