Thank You!
I have been waiting to see a clip of it since I saw it this summer.
I loved it and couldn't wait to hear the music again.

Hah! I haven't seen it, and won't until mid April, but unless this is some BWW video sleight of hand, I think this one's a natural.

Posted: 3/21/07 at 8:50pmIf Kander and Ebb win themselves a Tony for score, I certainly won't be upset, even if I am rooting for Frankel and Korie. Show People and It's a Business are classic Kander and Ebb. The choreography looks like a winner and the designs for sets and costumes seem colorful and creative, not to mention the cast. The whole show looks great!

Posted: 3/21/07 at 9:03pmThat did nothing for me. Maybe you need to see the show to see it's brillance, but it just seemed kinda bland to me. None of the songs really stood out, and it just seemed like another musical comedy.

I guess the point is there are no REAL musical comedies any more. There are faux musical comedies, tweaked musical comedies and movie adapted quasi pop musical comedies.
This feels, as they say in the trades, legit.

Posted: 3/21/07 at 9:16pmThat's the first I have seen or heard anything from the show, and it definitely has me intrigued!

Well, as Sondheim said, "Musical comedies are not WRITTEN, they are REWRITTEN."
Still, I think they are a ton of fun...

RentBoy - that's what it is. "Another" musical comedy but with a twist. It's not as dull as it seems. The book stands out and the "generalness" of it. To me, none of the songs or musical numbers were specifically memorable. What's memorable about the show are the performances and story. This doesn't mean the musical numbers were bad, they were very very good! They were just generally memorable instead of individually.
The stand-out number that I DO remember is the duet between DHP and the female interest.
