omg that's so crazy!! i'm just glad that your orders weren't cancelled.
"No, I do not think you HAVE to call they told me that the system would automatically resolve the issue, but I did just to be sure that my order was okay, but I am just anal like that!! "
Ditto
Plus, if we had to call, their phones would be ringing off the hook due to the large ammount of Broadway fans who have most likely pre-ordered the cd.
Thank you, GITF, that's exactly what I was trying to say!
Insomniak, you cannot compare the sets of Aida to Rent. The Aida sets are MASSIVE. What I was trying to say is that the Broadway Aida sets were so wonderful that there is NO WAY they can have the same sets or same effects etc for a show that is in town for two days. They haven't got the time to build sets, they have to be scaled down BIG TIME. That doesn't mean they are going to be 'crap' (your words, not mine) but they are not going to be anywhere close to the sets on Broadway.

I'm back!! Had a really fun week away at the beach, but it looks like I missed a lot on this board!!!
In terms of set - for the national tour that they did with Patrick Cassidy and Simone they re-designed the set, did they not? Here's an interesting article about the set design of the previous tour, if anyone is interested... I love getting the design stories, so...
AIDA National Tour Set Design
Amasis, welcome back. I really missed having you around! Now things will get steamier again Missed you!!!
That's what I meant. They will have to scale down the sets to make them fit into different theatres etc. They can't be as 'advanced' as the Broadway sets.
QM
such an interesting article! Thanks amasis!
Aw... thanks, QM, I missed you too!! I was just reading back at all the comments on HAIR, looks like I missed out on some steamy moments!
AND you can pre-order CIVILIAN now? !!!!!!
*trying desperately to catch up*
*edit: You're welcome, GITF! I love reading those type of stuff...

It's MANDATORY to order Civilian now ACTUALLY!!!
QM
That's right. Mandatory, or no Adam in Bali for you!
I got those e-mails, too... just now actually. I freaked out, but now all is well.
haha! Well i had NO clue what it was for. All it said was "your order was cancelled" it wasnt until 5 minutes of staring at it did i look at who it was sent to. I saw "shkboom..." and was like .. o0o...OH! NO! .. haha
"That's right. Mandatory, or no Adam in Bali for you!"
Does that mean that if I pre-order it today, I will get HIM delivered, along with the CD?
Yep, and he'll wear a red bow for you
QM
lol I want an Adam too!
I know what you mean about wanting to preserve the Broadway version of Aida, and I'm all for that if thats what you want to do. Sure the sets will be scaled down and its a new cast but its still Aida, and I'm sure it will be great. I really cant see myself sitting around doing nothing while the tour stops so close to where I live! If you dont plan on going, I'll make sure to post an extremely detailed review for you though

Noday, I know I'll probably end up checking it out. Speaking of which, I heard the Met is doing the opera AIDA this season. Anyone going? I'm tempted....
QM... RED BOW! AHHH!
Sadly, I do not even live in that time zone, so no opera for me
"Yep, and he'll wear a red bow for you"
I'm already imagining all the bribing I'll have to do to get him past Customs.
No, because the customs officials will look at him, all dressed up and ready for the beach and simply fall to the floor.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
" all dressed up and ready for the beach..."
All dressed up? For the beach? Emceeeeeeee, c'mon now...
NoDay & Undiscovered, go ahead... If I'm not mistaken, all Customs Officials have a right to inspect all items coming into the country. As long as you promise to release my special delivery immediately after inspection.

Okay, fine. All UNDRESSED and ready for the beach.
<--- wants to be a customs person, too!
Actually, what's all that talk about dressing up? He is wearing his red bow and that's it!!!
QM
I would say so too, Undiscovered! *HUFF*
