If this closes before I get to see it - I'll be so upset

They picked goo songs to show in it but I would've liked to see more...

Here's another video I linked in a another thread with some of the same footage, but some different stuff too.

Is it just me or does it sound like a really bad laugh track over 'sweeter'...we've been over this, the line is 'sweeter'"?

This footage makes me really question if the show can hold up in a bigger theater. I hope it can, but it just seems too small and homespun to compete in a big house like that.

Mauri, keep in mind that the Lyceum is usually the home to plays, not musicals. It's not a very large house. The one-man show, I AM MY OWN WIFE, played a successful run there just a few years ago, so a musical with four cast members isn't such a super small fit for this house.

It does kind of sound like a laugh track.

During '525, 600 people all loving our show', I'm assuming there'd be SOME laughter and there's none I can hear. That's one of the jokes that most of audience actually understood.

A lot of similair footage to that other video floating around, but I'm glad they included the part about something kick ass happening every minute. I love it.

Foster- I'm glad to hear that. I've never been to the Lyceum, so I really didn't know what to expect. I'm planning on visiting it in September, though, if the show holds out until then. Its current numbers really concern me.

It's a very good sized theater for it. It is a very small theater. And the 525,600 joke got lots of laughs.

Drunk Chita Rivera, it did when I saw it as well, but I meant in the video specifically. I was just commenting on the fact that some of the laughter may have been edited in/out.

Yeah I know you were talking about the video. I was just saying that it does get laughs in the theater (not knowing you had seen it)

A little too "tears and schmaltz" for me.

And how did "525,600 people all lovin' our show!" not get a laugh?

I wish they showed a song clip of "Die Vampire, Die!" but it made me want to see the show again. "A Way Back To Then" is such a great song!

[Kaybee]

keep it positive mauriposa! All we can do is tell 9 people, cross our fingers and go along for the ride.

The show reads beautifully in the Lyceum, I hope everyone will go and buy a ticket and see for themselves rather than just taking our word for it! haha.

That video is great, good highlights and great songs. I am also assuming that the footage was taken without an audience- As I have seen the show 5 times now (5?!?!? FIVE!) I can almost count on where laughs fall, the length of them and the underlying "haha v. hehe" meaning after punchlines. Most DEF a laugh track in this vid.

Ooh, Wicked_beast... now you're putting the idea of a shirtless Heidi Blickenstaff avatar in my head! LOL.

[ClumsyDude15]

Posted: 7/27/08 at 9:26pm

I. NEED. TO. SEE. THIS! =]


I love [tos]
Heidi, Susan, Hunter and Jeffie= LOVE. =]

[taylorPHENOMENON2]

Posted: 7/27/08 at 9:27pm

How much do I love the shirtless Heidi moment. SO MUCH.

I want some "awkward photo shoot" clippage! Totally dug that song.

Why didn't [tos] go into the Circle in the Square? It seems like a perfect fit.

This actually made me really want to see this!

Except for Heidi... I feel like the show would come off less smug if professional actors were hired to play the characters... I get the magic of having the creators perform the show... it's sweet... cute... but they don't seem able to add the level of sophistication needed to transcend it's amateur origins. Not trying to be catty... just sayin'.

I want to see this show so dang bad.

Why, oh why do they not have Wednesday shows? That is the day I'll be in the city next!

I must see this show soon.

[KJisgroovy]

Posted: 7/28/08 at 1:46am

Yup.
It's hard for me to tell if I the material is amateurish... or if it's the performers that make it seem that way.
