Posted: 1/30/05 at 3:06amWait- maybe I have... Is it near Luke's Locker? or somewhere in that West Grey shopping center I always get confused?

Allrecords AND Joels Classical Shop both boast a wonderful selection. Joels is in the shopping center with the Randalls, Panda Garden and across from Berings and Chuckie Cheeses. the strip mall is near West U. Allrecords is in the riveroaks shopping center, tha one that has the movie theater which plays indie flicks. both are really great. what did u think ofCaroline? its 1 of my favs, but i know people on the board who hated it.
if you havent heard Taboo you really should get it (seeing as though you are on a 'new musical' stint. its got a great cast and underappreciated score.

I absolutley LOVE taboo! its one of my all time favorite scores... to bad it doesn't have a great book to boot. 
I listen to that album ALL THE TIME...
I though Caroline was amazing. Tonya blew me away. By the end of her last song, I was amazed. My only complaint was Noah. He was a really annoying character, or maybe it was just me.

Allrecords- West Gray area, i also think Lukes Locker is in the same place. Yeah, taboo is really kick ass. raul esparza blows my mind every time i listen to it. Same with Sarah u. Berry and Euan. i also thought the boy was just ok. but than again, i could never go that high, so who am i to judge. this winter break saw: Bklyn, Producers, Pacific OVertures and the play: White Chocolate. three of the shows were amazing, one was... eh. take a wild guess 
. anywho- im gonna stop by allrecords tomorrow, speaking of it reminded me of the Frogs CD i need to get. lol. what other skools r u applying too? (other than St. Johns)

it's great to see this budding friendship on here---just be careful with the details. Maybe IM's are a better idea.
As for Houston, it's a wonderfully cultural place, but it's still nice to have a major airport where you can get out to most cities quickly and fairly cheaply. i'll never forget spending about ten days in NYC, seeing terrific shows, but realizing that i was looking forward to getting back to Houston for some shows at the Alley, Stages, Theater Lab, Main Street, TUTS, or the Opera. Wish i had more time for the symphony or the ballet.
i also plan on seeing more shows at HSPVA; i caught STATE FAIR there a while back, and WILL ROGERS last year. Just sorry i missed HOT MIKADO, but i'm going to try and see DAMN YANKEES.

Posted: 1/30/05 at 3:47pmI missed Hot Mikado, but from my tour, the set looked cool. I think I'm gonna see Damn Yakees in the spring. I had some friends that did the Masquerade classes and they got put from the musical theatre class into a sing a long class or something. I've never seen a show there. The HITS shows at Miller Outdoor are pretty good, too.

I couldn't see HAIR but one of my friends saw it and LOVED it. I've never been that big of a HAIR fan, but I've never actually *SEEN* it. Do you recommend the movie?
Did you do CHORUS LINE last season (03-04)? One of my friends was in the "Broadway Teens" class for a little while but then he quit. I think he was cast as Greg.
#61re: the 'houston' thread.
Posted: 1/30/05 at 4:01pmi was cast as GReg also! but i was in the other class. DO NOT SEE THE MOVIE! AHH! IT IS HORRIBLE AND NOT TRUE TO THE PLAY! i am a huge hair fan. im going to see Anyhting Goes in a week or so. i dont really like the music that much, though

Posted: 1/30/05 at 4:05pmI like some of the ANYTHING GOES music, becuase Porter is amazing, but I just think its all a little dated, so its lost some of its humor and charm. I love KISS ME, KATE, though. I saw the new production in London last year, it it (epecially Sally Ann Triplett as Reno) blew me away. If you're gonna buy a recoding, I'd recommend trying to track down that one, althought the Lupone revival is amazing also.

ah! you went to London? not fair. i've been to london once for three days and we saw The Mousetrap and The Histoy of America (abridged). Kiss me kate is a masterpiece.
right- i gotta go play badminton w/ my sis and pick up the Frogs at allrecords, lata.

Posted: 1/30/05 at 7:32pmi have 45 minute study halls everyday except one, so by the time i get home, i have a lot less. and we usually do our math hw in class, so it ends up being way less than an hour what you actually do at home...
#70re: the 'houston' thread.
Posted: 1/30/05 at 7:34pmhaha. we have an hour and a half study hall every other day, but my advisor make us do extra math practice for the whole time (GAR!) so i end up having more. suxs.

Me too!! I think Papasitos is actually better, but Ninfa's makes for better take out. Do you ever go to Paulies? Its right around Lanier and they make some of the best cookies ever...
I've been listening to my CoC cd all day and now I'm pretty addicted... looks like it'll be my cd-that-I-listen-to-all-the-time-until-I'm-sick-of-it for a while!!
