Because she got bashed on the main board (god knows why), I feel it's time for Carolee to have her very own thread.
Show your love people!!!

Saw her in Parade and fell in love with her. Recently saw her in Mamma Mia and thought she was brilliant. Her "The Winner Takes It All" gave me chills.
I am seeing her in a new musical in White Plains in a few weeks and I am very excited to see her in Lestat.
Also, after Mamma Mia, she signed my Parade CD cover and personalized it. Such a nice, talented woman...Carolee is awesome!

I used to love Carolee in the show, "Remember WENN." (I was always angry they didn't at least resolve the very cliff-hangers before the show was yanked...such a good show).
I remember paying particular attention to her because she comes from my town and we had the same great drama teacher...at different times.
She's yet another reason I look forward to "Lestat."

Bobby Bubby, Robert darling, as much as I too love me some Carolee (she blew me away in PARADE) I think I may have to ask for your card back for that statement!

My Carolee card trumps your Abba card.
Hellooooooooooooooooo! I love Abba, but Carolee's version was so better.
And I am in a mad hunt for those Remember Wenn tapes, it's not even funny. I saw almost every episode but I was very young and remember little.

Posted: 9/19/05 at 11:21amI got to see her in Mamma Mia and if this had been original, she would have walked off with the Tony, she was brilliant! Made the whole experience worth it, since i was so skeptical about seeing Mamma Mia. She was great! I met her after the show, and she was so nice!

At least, every Carolee show.

YAY for the Carolee love - LOVE her!!
Saw her in "Mamma Mia" and got to meet her after the show- she is so incredibly nice and amazingly talented! She worked so hard up on that stage and indeed, her "Winner Takes It All" was gorgeous (though, Bobby, NO ONE beats the original...). My favorite song, however, was "Slipping Through My Fingers" - now, THAT gave me chills.
I saw the "Remember WENN" episode which guest starred Donna Murphy....It was hilarious, and Carolee was adorable. I've seen more, but that one sticks out (for obvious reasons).
I want her to do something with her husband - they're so cute together, and both so talented. It'll be fantastic, I'm sure.

Posted: 9/19/05 at 12:18pmThey are doing Sweeney Todd in Seattle and I found out Carolee was the first person they offered Lovett to, but she turned it down, likely because of Mamma Mia, the Kathy Lee things she's doing, and Lestat all conflict.
#14re: **The Official Carolee Carmello Love Thread**
Posted: 9/19/05 at 12:40pmShe was cute yesterday and B'way on B'way...taking that picture of the audience after singing with the other gals. I think she is simply one of the finest actor/singers on Broadway today.
"I don't really get the ending,all i can go with is when after several months,Judith saw Pat sang,and later she kissed him on the toilet,after that the story back to where Pat went down from the stage after he'd sung,and he went to the italian lady.I just don't get it,what Judith exatcly meant when he kissed Pat that she had seen,and did Pat end up together with The Italian Lady?Please help me,thank u very much!"
Quote from someone on IMDB in reference to a movie he/she didn't understand. Such grammar!

mmmmm...Carolee Carmello.
Agree with all the love for her Maple LaMarsh in the Remember WENN series; I was seriously pissed when AMC yanked the series. Remember when (no pun intended) AMC attempted to replace the WENN series with one about the Golden Days of Hollywood (1930's)? The only episode I remember was one where they re-enacted the whole Carole Lombard/facial scar drama.
Carolee's voice is lovely. Yes, lovely is the perfect word to describe it. Her work on the Parade cast recording is stellar. I am lucky enough to live in SF, so I will be seeing LeStat!

Posted: 9/19/05 at 3:58pmnever saw her, but I am in love with her voice- especially the john and jen soundtrack- she has such raw emotion. I could lister to her sing one of bush's radio addresses.

Her rendition of when the world stopped turning ( at least I think that is the title) from the infinate joy concert is just amazing, and can draw tears every time I hear it.
I don't even know where she places her belt, but it is so crystal clear, unique and strong that I am addicted to it.

She was brilliant in "Saving Aimee" in White Plains...Kathie Lee Gifford says she has plans to take the show to broadway. Hopefully Carolee will be cast in it again.
And I will definitely be seeing "Lestat" (probably more than once)

From what I hear, they want Carolee to do it.
Carolee needs a big leading Broadway role. Too bad it'd be in a Kathy Lee Gifford musical, bound to get pans just because of who wrote it.
