I would hate to see this thread die. It just takes a few minutes of thinking and sends out some positive energy. C'mon you guys. Do it for that guy who used to visit us. What was his name? Podium Person? Or something like that?

[EddieVarley]

Posted: 2/12/04 at 8:21am

I was just gonna post a new list and then I saw Jim's post so I knew I really better bring it on! This one's for Podium Person, long may PP's positive energy linger!

Ok, this list is about all the GREAT Broadway show lightin' up Ol' Broadway;

1.Little Shop of Horrors-I know I was tough on this one, but they have found they're heart down on Skid Row and Kerry Butler has embraced her inner Audrey and that's a GREAT thing!

2.Avenue Q-while we are on the subject of puppets, how much of a treat is it to see the "stars" of this show work their comdey magic, great!

3.Wicked-The first ladies of Broadway performer vocal fireworks and give a bold new backstory to a classic tale.

4.The Producers-Nathan and Matthew, Gary and Roger and the entire cast bring Mel Brooks comedic soul to life, and how many times can you watch a true master onstage?

5.Hairspray-Ooops, I was wrong, MASTER Harvey and the nicest kids in town bring a masterpiece to life and do Baltimore proud 8 times a week, k' hon?

6.The Phantom of the Opera-Hal Prince has whipped the show back into fighting shape and George Lee Andrews and Jeff Keller still charm as if it's opening night!

7.Chicago-"Razzle Dazzle" it does, with Gretchen Mol delivering the Fosse goods like a pro, a GREAT debut!

8.Aida, Beauty and the Beast and The Lion King-Disney still works it's considerable alchemy over Broadway, and say what you will but they are all in GREAT form! Special shout out to Steve Blanchard, a truly wonderful guy who never let's Belle down with his superb Beast!

9.Fiddler- The "Tradition" holds up GREAT!

10.Boy From Oz-Give the Aussie his Tony!


But wait theres MORE GREAT THINGS, Rent, Movin' Out, Mamma Mia all give they're many fans a reason to rejoice and the many drama's to savor, most of all King Lear, Gypsy lives! And NYCO's SWEENEY TODD seduces us with the GREAT Elaine Paige! Is this a GREAT Broadway or what?!

EV - What a great list. You put some thought into that.

[EddieVarley]

Posted: 2/12/04 at 11:25pm

I thought in memory of Podium Person a well thought list was in order.

[JimVukovich]

Posted: 2/12/04 at 11:36pm

Yeah, he used to get us all motivated. He was really an inspirational guy, that Podium Person.

"I hear music and there's nooo one there"...we need the eye of the Podium Person Tiger!

What was the name of that band that sang "Eye Of The Tiger"? That was a GREAT record. The lead singer kicked some major butt.
