TheatreFan4,
The projections were LOUSY AND CHEAP. I liked the concept they were going with, but it was WAY underfunded and didn't feel.. real. Cassie couldn't act to save her LIFE, but was decent as a singer. The cast was mainly... eh (excluding the scarecrow... who stole the show the night I saw it). The orchestrations sounded horrendous. There were no string instruments... and you could REALLY tell that the strings were as fake as hell. At most, I would give it a 5 out of 10. BATB better be a WHOLE lot better.

Nice Avatar, btw.

She was just horrible! I actually liked Scarecow, Tin Man, & Lion. I youtubed Peter Gosick (Tin Man) afterward & found a video of him doing 'Sweet Transvestite' in Rocky Horror. That was very interesting to watch...

Erin Coors is in it (Babette). She was Julia in the non-eq Nat'l tour of Wedding Singer.

I would rather them have the strings and other difficult to travel with parts prerecorded to go along with the live orchestra members just so I wouldn't have to hear a MIDI version of a pretty memorable score. That would seriously DESTROY this production for me if I hear a fake string section! FYI I'm a cellist so the string section is always a highlight.

I'm interested to see the entire set. Like most non-equ show it will probaly be mostly back drops. but I'm wondering if it will be different for every venue?

Small orchestra, don't get your hopes up when it comes to the music.

I think its funny that NETworks cast the same people in their shows. This will be the third show for Merrit David Janes in a short period of time.
