I've definitely claimed bunny foo foo. I'm even considering buying a new robe for his replacement..... 
(That way they won't miss it - right?)

Lindit(I'm referring to Hypertruffle)...fellow huge pit geek...please add your own review, highlighting all aspects of the performers' performances before I start crying. Okay expecting one after South Park.
Lizzie, Lizzie, Lizzie. I have no issues with any of your feelings on the show...but there was one thing that upset me so. I'll use the most specific example...
About Diana...I'm not gonna argue she was the best singer or get mad that you didn't like her singing. But to flat-out hate her and just mention what you conceived to be bad singing...and NOT mention her amazing clarinet playing?? How could a person do that?? I just sat totally mesmerized by her the first time I saw the show, from the front row. I mean it is sooo hard to...play really high notes quietly like that, to walk and play at the same time, to have such a great tone, especially while playing quietly, to have to cover most of the reed parts still at a small volume--sometimes we're expected to be equal to and as quiet as violins--that's hard! She was simply amazing on clarinet.
The reason Pirelli is female in this production is that if they kept him male, there would be 6 male voices and 2 male voices--they at least needed it to be 5 and 3. And yes, the accent is supposed to be like this. If you pay close attention, Donna has a much bigger job, doing little things to help "conduct"--taking breaths and such, and have to play her own instrument, and act.
Okay, I could mention every single instrumentalist's contribution but hope I made my point. I'm thrilled you like Alex, he's more known for the instruments, so great that you singled him out. John Arbo is the one professional pit player in the group--honestly, the bass is the most important aspect to any pit--it holds the beat. Really glad they made sure to get a professionalist for that part.
Whew, just had that off my chest. Now, do you know that there's a DVD of the original production? I highly suggest watching that, it's "scarier," and it's much easier to understand what's going on. This is a great production, but it's much better seen when one's familiar with the show. I know lots of people got confused if they knew nothing; you're not alone.
I'm so jealous you got to meet lindit!
I think I have more to say on other subjects but the instruments deserve their own post.

Ok, now, I don't think you can claim Greg.. I mean, he IS a human being and has claim over himself...
We can just auction off parts of him, apparently..

Amanda, lol, I'm not a pit person so I didn't really even pay attention to her clarinet, to be perfectly honest.
Can I claim Greg's pin stripe suit, because I think that thing is pretty spiffy.

Umm, I claim Gerry? Every single part down to the last particle in atoms?
Now...back to geography. Annie, my friend knew the capital of Hungary is Budapest. Granted, she only knows that from Chess the musical but still it counts; she knows it.
But umm, I have a more embarassing story. I was laughing at my friend from Canada who didn't know if DC was a state or not, when I go on to need 4 tries to finally get the capital of Canada right. Okay, on my part, that's probably more stupidity than egocentricism. Oops.

"I claim Greg. Oh, I win. "
Sorry kid - but Greg gave up claim over himself when he married Julie. She's got him - ALL of him I'm afraid!
(I still think she could make a bundle if she loaned him out for a reasonable amount of $$$. They might even be able to afford a home on both coasts - and wouldn't that be grand?)

Okay to appease me could you edit to say something like...
I hated what I noticed from her? I didn't really pay attention to her clarinet playing skills but I'll take Amanda's word that she was very good at that?
Sorry, I know that was an intense reaction. I'm just very protective of clarinetists

Posted: 2/22/06 at 10:58pmHrmph, okay fine. Edit to say this is no reflection on her clarinet playing skills, or something like that?

Posted: 2/22/06 at 10:59pmI'm not editing my post to please you, Amanda, the point of a review is to state your opinions and not censor them, not edit them to someone's liking.

Well whatever, I certainly wasn't censoring anything and I wasn't requesting an edit that said anything different than you said in your review and after, so I understand your not wanting to change it, but don't make it out like I was doing anything along the lines of censoring or stuff like that.

ok, missed that whole drama thing (i mean, how it started) and I don't really want to go back and figure it out. so, I will be the mature 19 yr old that I am and say,
"agree to disagree, ok?"
ok, long day. spanish, english, work on creative writing, creative writing class (where I had to read my sex story). he like it though. he was confused at first. but he liked how that i wasn't explicit about the whole sex thing but it was still clear that they did it. so, that;s good. then i had to run to tap dance class, then cook beef stroganof and cake with two friends (one has birthday today and one shares his with me tomorrow). so that was fun. haha.
I claim hat!!!
