Posted: 11/22/04 at 10:01amOkay, So yes, we're all really excited and that was the surprise. We decided last minute that there may be a lot of people who would be disappointed if they later found out that Ben Vereen was reprising his role and they had missed it...so there it is. Hope you all can make it!!!

"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."

I LOVE BEN VEREEN.
What a shame. It is the same night as Jeff Marx's show.

I knew it! Im so excited. Are we allowed to know which leading player is singing which song? Well it said Rosie is doing the opening, but do we know what the others are doing? This is going to be such an amazing night.
Are there any more surprises in store? I dont think I will be able to handle anymore. I am so overwhelmed with the vast amount of talent that is going to be performing in this.

Is this concert going to be taped for DVD? I'm sad I'm gonna miss Michael Arden as Pippin.
