Thank you so much APgal. I hadn't seen them yet. So.damn.cute!
I love the picture of Michael and Tyrone Giordano. Michael look absolutely gorgeous in the picture.
Shouldn't Tyrone be on tour with Big River? Or is the tour in the middle of stops right now, and he flew back to New York? I'm still kicking myself for missing Tyrone (and Michael) in Big River.
By the way, the grapevine says that Aaron Lohr and Eden Espinoza are now a couple. Congratulations to them!
Wow, that picture is amazing...hmmm new avatar material???
Michael looks adorable as usual, and Tyrone is very handsome himself.
Looks like BKLYN is going to be amazing, I'll have to plan a trip for that, but first my BARE trip has to be finalized!!!
Alright, here's the predicament... a friend of mine hooked me up with a Bare audio bootleg, so I can basically listen to the whole show. But because I've never seen it in it's entirety, I don't know if I should. I'm already kind of spoiled thanks to some posts in this thread , and I definitely plan on seeing the show (a LOT more than once) come October, but still. It's so tempting. What to do? Please advise.
I don't think it's a big deal. It's like listening to a 2-disc recording of a musical like Les Miserables or Rent - practically the complete score - before seeing the show. It all depends on whether you do things like that, though (and since you've already been following the thread, you probably know all the plot "twists" anyway).
Since I'm a total spoiler ho, I probably shouldn't answer the question, but think of it this way... come October there will be some kind of changes, so you'll still be seeing it anew on some level. I couldn't have it sitting there and not partake, nope, couldn't do it.
Hmmm... thanks for the help, BW and Trisky! I usually listen to the cast recordings before I see the show (like I did for Rent and Avenue Q). Plus, I completely forgot that they're changing things around, so now I MUST listen to this bootleg. I'll think of it as a little souvenir of the beloved ATA run. *sniff*
Keep the b***leg a little quiet, we don't want our thread deleted because of that.
That being said, listen to it!!! Seeing a show on stage being performed is a whole other experience than just listening to it. Even though it is a pop opera, you still miss staging and facial expressions which are a huge part of the emotion conveyed. By all means listen to it, the show is going to be a reworked version in October, so you'll be seeing new stuff as well.
I can't wait to see the show and meet Michael
MOG--I am not sure about Natalie's event, but I would love to go to Michael's show if you are going on 10/2. Let me know and maybe we can all sit together. TTYS hot stuff

Hey baby. I will most definitely be there that night (along with Nick, Rafal and I think Sue) plus 2Day4U is coming in. Now you HAVE to come with us.
MC: You are a much better person than I. I don't know how you've held out this long. I'm like Trisky. I'm all about the instant gratification. :)
Bobby_Strong: Sounds like you had a wild night. Hope your head was hurting *too* much this morning.
10/2 ... *sniff* We had tickets for 10/2. *waaaaah*
But Michael was kind enough to get another job, so I can get my Bare fix in some capacity. Good Michael.
ETA: A question that I've been wondering about. What are people's opinions on Romelda as Sr. Chantelle? The more I listen the more it bugs me that I can't understand half of what she's saying, which kind of makes the point of her songs get lost somewhere along the way. Any word on who is replacing her? (And is it mean of me to be grateful that they may get someone I can actually understand?)
LOL it's starting to seem like the Bare fans depend on Michael's employment more than he does.
Well thank God Michael is thoughtful enough to keep working here in New York while John is allllll the way over in Los Angeles shaking what his momma gave him.
HAHAHA, Trisky, you had me worried....I was thinking he canceled that ight or soemthing, but now I know what you're talking about. *wipes forehead*
Wow, you go away for a few days, and you miss soooooo much. Don't y'all know to keep the posting to a minimum when people are on vacays?
I CANNOT wait for Oct 2!!!!! For all those who are going, can't wait to meet!!!
Pictures all look great, Thanks to all providers! New icons look great!! (MOG--you know what I think, LOL!)
Think that's it for now....
LOL it's starting to seem like the Bare fans depend on Michael's employment more than he does.
I think I can singlehandedly support him for the year given the amount of money I'm willing to spend to see him!
All for the cause though, which in my case, is still his wardrobe.
His wardrobe?
Does anyone think that Michael lurks on these boards? I feel that it's past the point of embarassment for me, I've come to accept my mindless drones/swoons over him and the fact that he could be reading them lol.
Eden Espinosa lurks, she told someone at Bryant Park that she knew of her BWW fans...hmmm...
Well, if Eden lurks, she was bound to see this thread sometime. And she'd probably click on it, because since she's Aaron Lohr's girlfriend, she'd be curious to see what people are saying about her boyfriend's show. And then she'd see all this rambling about Michael, tell Aaron, who would then tell Michael, and then he'd jump over here to check it out himself.
...
He could be among us right now. *gasp*

As you know from the fact that I kept leaning over to you to ask "what did she say?" during the show, me is not a big fan.

I don't know if he does but I don't post anything on the boards that I don't tell him person. I fangirl all over him every time I talk to him so whatevah. Umm...but if he is...hi!

True dat sista.
I CANNOT wait for Oct 2!!!!! For all those who are going, can't wait to meet!!!
Same here sweetie! :) Hope you had a nice couple of days vacation.
Pictures all look great, Thanks to all providers! New icons look great!! (MOG--you know what I think, LOL!)
LOL!! Yes, and it seems to be a VERY popular opinion. *stares at others on thread*
His wardrobe?
'Tis my LJ/Baree's site icon. You can see it here:
Poor boy had to raid Peter's wardrobe.
Also made another icon for a worthy campaign:
As for whether or not Michael lurks, dunno, but if so waves. I'd like my ego stroked as often as his is on this thread!
ETA: Whoops, didn't know the pictures would actually just show up there! Meant to just put the links up. Oy.
I actually do believe Michael lurks on - or at least visits - the BWW board sometimes. I have my reasons. I don't know if he reads this thread regularly, but I'll hasten to guess that he's bumped into it. I'm interested in knowing what he thinks about all this adoration, heheheh. (And if you're reading this, Michael, well....you know what I think.
)
What are people's opinions on Romelda as Sr. Chantelle?
I actually liked her a lot. She was a younger, hipper kind of sister (or "sista"). I found her movements and nuances very clear and precise, and I liked the way she rolled her eyes.
Trisky, those have to be the funniest icons ever.
If Michael does in fact lurk, he's had to have seen my ramblings. And yes, if you're reading this Michael, they're all very true and from the heart
I couldn't understand Romelda on a recording of a few songs I have...eh hem, but she sounded amazing.
lol MOG! I dont really know what i was doing but as long as it was bare related it was probably fun.
As far as romelda goes...When I first saw it I thought hmm I dont understand the fuss I cant really understand her and her singing is good but nothing special. Then I got more and more comfortable with her. and Now I think she is hilarious and although I only know what she is saying because ive listened many a time I still like her. But I am very interested in seeing the new Sister Chantelle in the fall.

Im really bummed Romelda wont be back, she rocks my socks! :)
In terms of Michael lurking, I've always thought that maybe one of you is really him in disguise.....*looks around suspiciously*
I just got my ticket for The Woman Upstairs on October 2nd! I can't wait to hang out with my "old" Bare buddies and new Bare buddies. Bare Buddies---hmmm we should market that name!! LOL
