I just saw 2 threads and when I clicked on them, they were already deleted. Can anyone give me the information about the upcoming cd? It looked like a great line up!

I know that he's recording it live at, I think, Joe's Pub. I know it's Monday, August 3 at 7pm. It's the same night that Limbsakimdo will be at Birdland. I have all the info but it's in my facebook inbox which I can't access from work.

ETA: It's the Laurie Beechman not Joe's Pub

When you get home from work could you send it to me please? Thanks!
I tried looking on his website, but that wasn't updated and I didn't see a facebook group or anything. Thanks for any help!

Wow thanks! I guess when I didn't see it near the top of the updates I stopped looking. I think the cast list is updated? Allison Case is singing there I believe (and I hope!)

06.19.09: A ton of updates today! Sheet music is now available for THE BEST IS YET TO COME as performed by Katie Thompson, HURT SO BAD and WELCOME TO MY LIFE. Andrew Kober and Allison Case (Hair) and Alex Brightman (Wicked) have been added to the cast of Bobby's August 3rd concert at the Laurie Beechman. Lastly, Bobby's production of THE WEDDING SINGER opened in Santa Rosa, CA recently, so he's off to Chicago for the world premiere production of BRATT CAMP!!! www.laredmusictheatre.org

Yay, Anne Brummel!!

I wonder if/who will sing Dear Daddy

[bwaycomposer]

Posted: 7/7/09 at 3:08pm

Caissie Levy is!

[Pianolin717]

Posted: 7/7/09 at 3:20pm

Fantastic! Although, I think there should be a Dear Daddy cd and have everyone sing their version. They are all the same and all so great! Do you know what Allison is singing by chance?

[bwaycomposer]

Posted: 7/7/09 at 4:00pm

probably PERFECT. Although there are new songs too. So maybe a new one?

[Bway2]

Posted: 7/7/09 at 4:01pm

What about Anne Brummel? Will it be a duet with her husband, Brian Gallagher?

[bwaycomposer]

Posted: 7/7/09 at 5:11pm

No. Brian will probably sing Fine Is All I've Got, a rock song. And I'm sure Anne will sing The Understudy. I think it was written for her.

I just saw a production of Bratt Camp in Chicago and the girl who sang Bear Daddy was amazing! and she was only 16!!! It was easily one of the most emotional parts of the show. So many chills and tears!

[bwaycomposer]

Posted: 7/8/09 at 11:19am

The B.R.A.T.T. CAMP workshop was a huge success! Real teens were used for the first time, grounding the show. Jessica Redish (ADDING MACHINE) directed the hell out of it!

i saw HAIR tonight and asked Allison at the stage door and she said that she wasn't completely sure what song she'd be doing but it's a duet with Alex Brightman she thinks and hopes that it will be Perfect. yay :]

Oh thank goodness! For a second, I thought you were going to say she wasn't sure if she was doing it! :)
SO excited for this!

I love Allison on PERFECT...

[broadwayworldreader]

Posted: 7/11/09 at 2:15pm

Hey. Check it out! I found videos from the Chicago production on youtube. It's the theatre company's channel, but they're definitely on there. Dear Daddy is AMAZING! Enjoy

DEAR DADDY is awesome. WELCOME TO MY LIFE is such a cool sound! Love the rest too, REACH THE SKY sounds so good.

is the Laurie Beechman a big place? is it like Birdland with reserved tables and a standing room/bar seats or is it just tables?

[snowskittle]

Posted: 7/14/09 at 10:09pm

It's not as big as Birdland, and it's in the basement of a restaurant. I don't know if tables are reserved as it wasn't totally full when I was there. There is a bar. Not sure about food, but since it's below a restaurant, there probably is some.
