You're reminding me of people you hear at the movies asking questions every ten seconds, "Who is that? Why is that guy walking down the street? Who's that lady coming up to him? Uh-oh, why did that car go by? Why is it so dark in this theater?" - FindingNamo on strummergirl
"If artists were machines, then I'm just a different kind of machine...I'd probably be a toaster. Actually, I'd be a toaster oven because they're more versatile. And I like making grilled cheese" -Regina Spektor
"That's, like, twelve shows! ...Or seven." -Crazy SA Fangirl
"They say that just being relaxed is the most important thing [in acting]. I take that to another level, I think kinda like yawning and...like being partially asleep onstage is also good, but whatever." - Sherie Rene Scott

He's a faker, and you've been taken in by his con. And in doing so, you are enabling him. He is doing more damage to aspergers than papa's words ever could. -Chane/Liverpool on me having asperger syndrome.

Posted: 3/22/08 at 11:07pmIt looks SO interesting. I would love to see it. Richard Maltby Jr. is an incredible director (and writer for that matter).

Posted: 3/23/08 at 1:44amI think it looks intriguing. Also from the short clips that I heard the music sounds good.

Posted: 3/23/08 at 1:47amI loved the movie, if only for my sick sense of humor and the fact that Rocky is a counselor at a blind camp. Interesting choice for a musical I must say.

I saw it this evening (well, a late afternoon matinee that seemed to finish when it was evening) and it was definitely stunning on one spectrum, and bizarre on another. There's just something about seeing Rocky Dennis brought to the stage that's, for lack of a better term, just plain creepy. I could hardly watch the film when I first saw it, and it's just odd seeing the the disfigured face in person. Call me insensitive (although I don't think I am), but he gave me chills.
Acting and music-wise, though, it was fab. But just too creepy being twenty feet from that face... bah.

Posted: 3/24/08 at 2:34amI went to see Mask with trepidation, expecting to hate it. I was pleasantly surprised to see a show that was superbly directed and designed. The acting was fantastic and the songs were very enjoyable late 70's rock. Despite rumors about pre-recorded music someone had spread on the internet, the show does have a fantastic 7 piece live rock band. Michelle Duffy should score a second Ovation award for her portrayal of Rusty. Her singing and acting are Broadway ready!
"It does what a musical is supposed to do; it takes you to another world. And it gives you a little tune to carry in your head. Something to take you away from the dreary horrors of the real world. A little something for when you're feeling blue. You know?"
