A couple things before I take a long nap...
re: Aida...I know to pay close attention, and to make sure to mention when I get back how closely it sticks to the Bway production. My high school did it last year, and I went to all of their performances, so I know the original script quite well. However, I only saw it on Broadway once from the balcony. So I don't have that great a memory on the direction/staging. I'm assuming though since it's at Westchester anyway, it's obviously scaled down and no one would expect the same direction/choreography. You guys are more interested in the similarities to the script, not so much direction, right?
Don't worry BSo, not gonna happen. J&H was just a weird circumstance--my mom was supposed to come home Thurs. morning but she was stuck upstate, and didn't make it home till Friday morning. That just threw me off. Moreover, for some reason, I had my dates all confused and thought I was actually in a week earlier than it was. But don't fear, my mom is well aware that we're going tonight, so that's what matters. We definitely won't miss it
Hehe...Adam's vanity makes me think of symphony space. Adam: "I couldn't stop looking at myself." Anthony: "Yes, because you are such a handsome man." Haha, that was really funny.
And official sites, I'm not 100% positive, but I'm pretty sure BSo's right. The "official"ness of a website just means it's endorsed by the actor. He/she is supposed to have a say and control everything that goes up there. I don't know specifics, such as if a contract has to be signed or anything like that. I think if nothing else the actor should be paying for what is needed on the website--the url and other fees. I believe most pay their webmasters for their work, but that varies--some webmasters refuse the pay I think.
BBG, where did you already see the DVD commentary? If there's a chance it's out early, at some point this weekend, I may stop by my stupid, pointless mall to see if any store has it yet.
"If there was a Mount Rushmore for Broadway scores, "West Side Story" would be front and center. It snaps, it crackles it pops! It surges with a roar, its energy and sheer life undiminished by the years" - NYPost reviewer Elisabeth Vincentelli
