BARE cast — Page 49

SO, Michaels performance tonite at Opia. AMAZING!

He sang a lot of songs from his show. Adam Flemming sang "N and R" with him. And there were a few other people who sang some songs (Jennifer Leigh Green sang the same song of Michael's that she sang at Joe's Pub)
Michael was fantastic, his voice was great, and his jokes were great. It showed he put a lot of thought into the night. He should do more like this :-P.

Anyway, he did mention that Bare was postponed until Oct 13th. He didn't say why though.....

I don't know what else to say, so if you ask questions, I'll be happy to answer. I felt like such a grouppie tonight, ugh. I haven't felt like one since I was a rent-head in '97...lol


Rock on!

The Talented Mr. Arden!!!!!

Im glad you sound like you had enough fun for the rest of us. Its good to feel like a groupie sometimes. Did you get to meet him is that why you felt like a groupie?

I was just about to give up hope on any reviews for the night the screen gets blurry after an hour or so...Do you have any more specifics...do you remember any of his jokes...how long was the show...how adorable did he look?

He was adorable! As for jokes, he told the story about how he came to think of writing "N and R". He was more funny with his mannerisms, he didn't tell flat out jokes. He looked adorable. He cut off his hair, and has kinda the fo-hawk thing going right now. It is cute....and mostly brown.

Umm....the show was 2 hours. I think my friend who I went with wrote down the set list....hopefully he'll post them tomorrow or something....

I didn't meet him, but I saw him after the show...

can anyone tell me a site that has the lyrics to some of the songs in bare? i've been searching but have had no luck.

no..but i can register...thanks:)

That song was the highlight of the night for me!

because nearly everything he does is adorable!!!

No problem on the posting of the lyrics!!!

musicalfandukie, you're not alone. A friend that came with me tonight hasn't seen Bare, hasn't heard any of the music but is already in love with Michael so he'll be there opening night. The love of Bare is fast, yo.

---

I'm back y'all. Montreal...LE GRANDE BLEH! Some of those clubs made me want to eradicate the gay population. But I did get to see my first Tim Horton's and saw a beautiful city.

But I have to say Michael's concert totally slipped my mind. As an Ardenite, I must say I'm ashamed But I live vicariously through Gina at this point!

Anywho, my tired bootay is going to bed. So much 'bare' news, so much exhaustion.

---

The answer is NO cowbell!!! This life is so much fun!!! i personally cant believe how obsessed ive gotten with the show the songs the cast and this board i am soooo tired and cant tear myself away.

And yeah where is BWG2 and AG they should be here!

Michael... oh Michael... *sigh*

*sigh*

I will post the full set list tomorrow, though I think what he sang has been well covered by both MadeofGold and NYSinger. The only other songs they left out were a song by a young composer whose name I can't remember, but whose show called The Woman Upstairs, Michael has apparently been cast in, and a cut song from A New Brain as the encore.

He was brilliant, no scratch that, he is brilliant. Given that I have no talent to speak of, it makes his seem to shine that much brighter. I don't know what I adore more about him, his voice, his compositions or his snarky sense of humor. I think I could have listened to him for days on end. The story of the origin of N&R was quite awww-worthy, but I believe the best part of the story was the swallowing of the mic that he did with his mouth in relating the apparent hotness of the boy Brad that it was about. No seriously, he stuck it in his mouth.

*waits while the boys pick themselves up from the floor*

Okay where were we? Yes, the brilliance of Michael, for his talent and also for picking out some really hot band members, the piano player and the cello player spring to mind immediately. Though he had several guest stars who were all wonderful, btw, the night belonged to him. He owned that room and had all of us eating out of the palm of his hand in about 30 seconds flat. I hope this was the first of several shows to come.

I'm exhausted at the moment, but I'll try and post more coherently tomorrow and fill in some gaps. Any questions, just fire away!

It was an outstanding evening, thank you Michael and thanks for being so nice afterwards. Also nice to meet Craig (and yes you did say hi to MadeofGold first, I'm your witness) and can't wait to see your pictures.

The story is the he was walking along 42nd St. a few months ago and saw a guy on the street, the guy came up out of the subway and told him he's never come up out of the subway for anyone before. The guy told him his name was Brad, he told him his name, and asked him what he did, the guy worked in some building on the street and Michael told him he was in Big River and they parted ways without saying anything else. He wrote the song for a benefit, thinking about fate and such and about a week ago was having dinner with a friend who asked him if he'd ever met a guy named Brad on the street, because the friend knew some guy named Brad who'd met some guy from Big River on the street. *cue twilight zone music*
