God Bless America. I love the world some days.

There's always room for pathos - and jazz hands.

You could always call the Pitt. CLO for a cast complete cast list.

Ohhhhh...why couldn't this be somewhere closer to me?!?!? I'd love to see Alice in Tommy, but I don't think a jaunt to Pittsburgh is in the cards.

But when did New Hampshire become--Such a backward wasteland of seatbelt hating crazies?...I mean, only 40 people actually live there. The others are just visitors who come for the tax-free liquor and three inches of novelty coastline. John Hodgeman on The Daily Show (1-30-07)

She was, of course, in the La Jolla and original Broadway productions (nurse, local lass, specialist's assistant), so this is sort of a homecoming for her, albeit with a much better role. And she is dazzling in everything she does. I'm sure she'll be wonderful

Yeah, there is a video of Alice when she went on as Mrs. Walker during the original production...apparently she's insanely good. Haven't seen it.

LOL! I was just about to ask you if you had seen it!

I adore a certain cast member who was Tommy!

Never would have known that, Chrys. You always keep your crushes so mum!

Oh, of course they don't! For some reason, I wanna say it's that girl with the curly hair. But, silly me, that couldn't be right...
