aaand now this conversation has gotten me listening Feeling Electric... sigh

oooh, next I think I shall be switching to Always True To You from Kiss Me Kate

Kiss me Kate was what introduced me to Amy, and when I walked out of the theater ALL I could say was "OMG that girl who played Bianca is so so SOOO amazing!!" (I actually kind of really embarassed myself by actually TELLING her that the first time I met her after Wedding Singer lol). Ever since I have absolutely adored every single thing she's done

I don't need a life that's normal. That's way too far away. But something next to normal would be okay. Something next to normal is what I'd like to try. Close enough to normal to get by.

ahem... listening to Pop and Right in Front of Your Eyes was probably not the best of ideas.. .I miss Wedding Singerrrr *whimper*

I'm okay when I dont listen to the recording, but when I do, I start really really missing it. Especially remembering how unbelievably and incredibly hysterical/amazing amy was in it.

Aww, I miss Wedding Singer too. Hoepfully Amy (and the rest of the cast) will get more successful shows.

Does anyone know how high she can sing. Like I know she is an alto but can she go up to soprano ect?

I dont *think* she's a legit soprano or anything- at least, I've never heard her sing anything soprano, but she can go pretty high in her alto voice

but yeah, I'm pretty sure she's not one of those people who does both belt and soprano

She played Hope Cladwell in "Urinetown," so she most certainly can sing legit soprano.

Tonya Pinkins: Then we had a "Lot's Wife" last June that was my personal favorite. I'm still trying to get them to let me sing it at some performance where we get to sing an excerpt that's gone.

Michael and Amy are indeed divorced. There's no point in her fighting Hugh Laurie.

kinda always hoped shed come back to where she started and blow the roof off the Nederlander as Maureen. i doubt shell do that- she could have at any point she wanted to, I bet. woulda been nice.

Saw her in Tick Tick Boom. Shes fantastic.

i'm hoping she comes back to chicago, she's been in it in the chorus (covered roxie and velma), then as roxie so its only fitting that she replaces brenda braxton as velma.

I was sure she was going to win the Tony for best supporting actress in The Wedding Singer. Ugh.

"I was sure she was going to win the Tony for best supporting actress in The Wedding Singer. Ugh."

...I think that's a bit of a stretch.

While she was wonderful and certainly the best thing about the show, she had almost nothing to do. Compared to the work of those that were nominated (like Leavel, Fields, Withers-Mendes, etc.,) she's far from their calibar (although I do think either she or Finley should have been nominated in place of Carmello.)

She is increadable both on the eyse and on stage. She should win a tony at some point for something.

I know a lot of shows on broadway are keen on welcoming back people who left. What do you think the odds of her doing something like Chicago again are?

Or is there anyone besides me who thinks that she would make a good Elphaba. And please for the love of god don't bash me because I mentioned the show wicked.

She had nothing to do in The Wedding Singer? She sang 4 songs and was in the show a lot of the time! She danced her butt off! Did you see the musical?

"Why isn't the baby crying?"

"Damn baby."

I've only listened to her on the TTB recording, and of course in Reefer Madness, so I've never met the gal, but she has an amazing range nonetheless. It's pretty crazy.

Ok random thought. In response to

It would be awesome if she replaced Brenda and Robyn Hurder played Roxie (since Robyn is the understudy). Would that be weird or what??

just the tumbling moves in Right in Front of Your Eyes Alone was like...way to be a kick ass gymnast Amy, seriously :P

she's basically the DEFINITION of a triple threat.

She seriously is! Do you think we could somehow try to get her into the dictionary?

I don't know about winning the tony (I had no clue about the other contenders,really), but I definitely thought Amy should have been NOMINATED.

Amy and Robyn as Roxie and Velma would be awesome.

I have to ask: What is that "why isn't the baby crying?" thing?

#47

re: Amy Spanger

Posted: 2/6/07 at 3:21pm

^I believe the baby thing is from Reefer Madness

I havn't actually *seen* Reefer Madness, but I've heard enough of the quotes- particularly amy's quotes- to know that's very Reefer Madness-esque hehe

Yeah it is from Reefer Madness!
Amy has a baby in the movie and it cries all the time and she usually says "Damn baby." Well actually, she says "damn [ a lot of things]" lamppost, stairs, cowbell, etc.
Anyway in the scene Ana Gasteyer says "Sally, why haven't I heard your baby crying today?" or something to that effect. It's funny, go watch it.

Amy is indeed one of the greatest parts of Reefer Madness that helps to make it as fun and fresh with each viewing. However, at the end of the day, Ana takes the show and runs with it completely stealing every scene.
