Anyone have any clue how old she is? She seems like she's really good in Lestat and looks so young on stage...

Only 17. And besides Carolee, she's the only cast member who can redeem her time onstage.

Just wanted to rephrase what I said and make it more clear because I realize now that it's kind of offensive.

I was trying to say that she and Carolee had the luck of the draw and were given the best material in the show, in my opinion. Not that they are the only talented cast members involved.

There's good material in LESTAT?

I personally really enjoy Carolee's and Alison's songs.

I think Carolee is a strong performer, but she reminded me of Faye Dunawaye/Joan Crawford here.

I disliked Alison. Pitchy, and just grating. Reminded me of Amy McAlexander.

To each his own, Munku. That is, if I AM allowed to have an opinion other than yours?

Why are you getting so defensive, I'm just telling you what I thought. Am I not allowed to have an opinion?

You're just famous for always disagreeing with everyone.

Anyway, I happened to love Carolee and Alison. I was particuarly taken with Alison. At 17, the girl is astonishing.

I don't disagree with EVERYONE, but it's nice that you so closely track my every word. Why are you getting so defensive? Complex? Lighten up.

Her song was the only reason to sit through "Lestat". They should have ditched "Lestat" and make the story about her.

I think Allison did a fantastic job.

And I love the show...but you all already knew that.


Or better yet they should make a musical about jimnysf and Bernie Taupin should do the lyrics, I'm sure you'd appreciate that.

"Or better yet they should make a musical about jimnysf and Bernie Taupin should do the lyrics.."


Only if I get to star in it and get to pick the cast. I might want the "Hairspray" team to write the music, though. Not too keen on Bernie at this point.

The ONLY song remotely worth anything is "I want more" (or something like that). Though I think it would work better in Willy Wonka.
