I know that. However, this was before Drowsy's numbers started to droop so low if memory serves me correctly. (I don't expect Drowsy to run past the holiday season.)

The sets look awesome, I'd probably go just to see them; and it's a classic story that can hold an audience if the book (of the musical) is well written. I just have one teensy problem.... I can't think of the (real) book's most famous line, "Tis a far, far better thing I do..." without hearing the song from Zanna, Don't! in my head . Damn, now it's going to be stuck there again all day...

Also, James Barbour is now the role of Sydney Carton, and he is absolutely mesmerizing, a true star turn.

Isn't the Year of Magical Thinking down for the count? How big is the Booth?

I know you. I know you. I know you.

The BOOTH!? It can't handle a large musical. WAY too small, and is already booked for the '07-'08 season anyway.

Begin at the beginning and go on till you come to the end: then stop.

What's going into the Booth, Smaxie? (and gawd, what was the last musical that played there?)

A limited engagement new play in the fall, and a play revival in the spring.

I think the last musical at the Booth was the Most Happy Fella revival, with the two pianos.

Begin at the beginning and go on till you come to the end: then stop.

The problem with drowsy- The sets for this musical were large, however it's not the type of show which could fill a theatre built for mega hit musicals. Though it's a crazy idea, could drowsy transfer to a smaller theatre?

Has Asolo ever sent a show to Bway? I grew up in Sarasota and have seen many shows there. I saw the ill-fated Svengali with the then little know Linda Eder that was "pre-broadway".

9/10 - Next To Normal, Ensemble Theatre
9/18 - Brian Stokes Mitchell, Cincy Pop's
9/28 - Death Of A Salesman, Wright State

Carton is going to be a BARATONE?!?! I pegged him as a tenor part...

anyway... hopefully the book (of the musical) will be better than the actual novel... I loved the story, the writing style, however was mindnumbingly boring...

What a night! I was in more laps than a napkin!
