Holy poop! That Aida thing is SCARY!

The AIDA quirk, in my opinion, is cool.

This has always bugged me.
I don't know if anyone has ever noticed this, but
in POTO's Point of No Return, there is an instrument that makes a sound IDENTICAL to
a cellphone ringing!

Damn, every time I see the show, or when I watched the movie, I thought someone's cellphone was on (and always looked around to see if it was someone's cell)

It happens when Christine sings:

You have brought me
to that moment
where words run dry,
to that moment
where speech
disappears
into silence,
silence . . .
I have come here,
hardly knowing
the rea (CELL PHONE RINGS!!!) son why . . .

In another forum they said it was a piccolo, but I always think cellphone :S

i remember hearing that more in the Toronto cast recording of Phantom. the piccolo is kind of distracting.



i need to listen to this Aida thing if its THAT freaky...

The most annoying thing on the Phantom OLC recording is the end og "Music of the Night". Michael last note is very very soft, and right after he finished we get the blaring organ of doom. Why couldn't that have gone on the next track perhaps...as it has NOTHING to do with MOTN.

The whole way they cut the Phantom OLC recording kinda pisses me off, they judged it poorly.

greenegirl87 - now I admit my hearing is shoddy to begin with but I always thought she hiccuped or what sounded like a hiccup after 'everybody deserves the chance to fly'. Of course it might be me

HAHAHA, Urban.

For whatever reason, when I last saw Rent, Maureen (Kelly) laughed at the moment that Idina does on the OBC. I think she's happy Mimi is back!

I know it's a little off-topic, but I've always wanted to see a production of EVITA and make a remark after:

"Have I Said too Much?" in Don't Cry for me Argentina...

When she says that line, I want to shout out, top of my lungs, YESS!!!!

Someone should try it one time. See how the actors react

Ohh... that sounds wicked Feris. Somebody has to do it. I know the Pia Zadora/Anne Frank/Audience yelling she was in the attic is only an urban legend, but damn! That would be as funny as that!

[rockfenris2005]

Isn't there an Evita revival happening? If Lloyd Webber, Rice and Mackintosh are all in the house: I'd dare anyone (big dollars) to shout out, on opening night, that same "YESSS" as she delivers the line

It would be hilarious

Fernis: Yes. In London.

i noticed the other day that Jack's voice sort of cracks in the Into the Woods OBC during

"wishes may bring problems such that you regret them
better that though then to never get them"

in the Act II Prologue

Haha Urban... in Defying Gravity at that part Idina inhales super loudly. She's famous for that. I agree, it does sound like a hiccup.

Every single time i listen to "I Speak Six Languages" From Spelling Bee there is something in the music that always sounds like a phone going off. It's not an actual phone going off but it sounds like it is. I can't tell how many times i have gotten out of my chair from my computer to answer the phone

I think theres a scratching sound(or something) in "Is This Home?" on the OBCR of B&B.

[SirLiir]

Posted: 10/29/05 at 12:43am

I believe Norbert Leo Butz messed up in "Dancing Through Life" on the Wicked OBCR on:

"We can dance till its light find the prettiest girl..."

It should be " "We can dance till the lights find the prettiest girl..."

During a recording of Think of Me from the OLCR and when Raoul applauds her, I SWEAR it sounds like he's saying "Phantom!" instead of "Brava!"

on the 10th Anniversary Les Miz Concert in "Castle on the Cloud" scene, what exactly happened in that loud pop? Also, are those weird noises, after the popping sound, someone's laugh?

[Urban]

Posted: 10/29/05 at 9:54am

Thank you forget regret . Being not familiar with Idina's other works for the most part I was unfamiliar with that, but that sounds rather funny all the same! I am suprised it made it past all the post-production clean ups.

In the "November 22, 1963" sequence of the OCR of "Assassins" you can hear John Wilkes Booth open the window of the Texas Book Depository right after Lee Harvey Oswald asks for his autograph. It sounds like one of those office trolley carts funnily enough.

One of my favorite 'quirks' has always been on the 1967 Pearl Bailey recording of Hello, Dolly! In the 'Dolly' number, right before they dance around the passarelle, Pearl says "watch out", presumably to let the waiters know she is about to strut her stuff. Of course, they recorded this in a studio so, unless Pearl was dancing around the studio (which is not out of the question, I suppose), it was totally unnecessary except to give the listener a delicious taste of what it must've been like to see the show on stage. A personal note: In 1975, at the ripe old age of 18 and living in San Francisco, I took a Greyhound bus to Los Angeles to see Pearl Bailey in Hello, Dolly! at the (now demolished) Shubert Theatre. I slept on the floor of a friend of a friend's dorm room in UCLA as I had no money for a hotel. Somewhere I have a photo of me standing outside the Shubert's Hello, Dolly! sign (in a powder blue brushed-denim leisure suit, no less). I can't remember what I had for lunch yesterday but I can remember every minute of that wonderful performance.

considering everyone has mentioned rent, i am suprised no one has mentioned this:
In La Vie Boheme when Idina says 'Are we packed' about a beat later there is a sibilent sss sound that i always think is gonna be hte 'yes' then another beat or so later joanne actually says the 'yes' it bothers me soooo much. Has anyone else noticed this?

In the Broadway SONG AND DANCE cast album at the end of "You Made Me Think You Were In Love" after the song finishes in silence you can hear an Engineer or somebody say "Yes!" as in "Well done, Bernadette!"

[DiamondGirl]

Posted: 10/29/05 at 1:39pm

sweeedboy - I think that hiss is actually the end of "I Should Tell You."

Roger/Mimi: "Here gooooooooooeeeee... (Maureen: "Are you packed?") ...ssss"
Joane: "Yes, and by next week..." etc.

hushpuppy - I'd willingly pay you my enter Ethel CD collection (which you've already got but I need something to pawn) to see you in that powder blue leisure suit. I am so glad I missed that era... then again I was around for flat-tops and flurocolours... *shudder*
