"and actually at the end of Bombay Dreams everything turns around, so it's not too smart walking out on this show." - Muscle23ftl

I saw the show in London. It was good in London. The Broadway cast was horrible!

Aneesh Sheeth: the only thing I found were some articles written for a gay periodical, and this...


Sandra Allen: was she in Flower Drum Song a couple of years ago? If so, it's a great casting, she's great for the role!

I'm a bit with Follies here. I saw the second cast in London, and loved them. But the Broadway cast had it's own set of strong players. But I will say that the first act of London's show was a better than the first act here, but the opposite was true of Act Two. The design was better here too, as well as the orchestrations.

PS Jasmine Guy was in A Different World, which was a spinoff of The Cosby Show. She never got her own spinoff, but towards the end of the run she and Kadeem Hardison's characters were the central relationship of the show. And how I remember any of that boggles me.

I thought that the Broadway version was better..fyi I didn't see the London version, but what I've heard from the CD and read about the original version, it's not as good.

Just wondering what you all think.

Yeah this tour is really strange having no info other than those few people...

I loved the Broadway Cast, at least the 2nd cast with Tamyra Gray and Anjali Bhimani, those 2 were a great duo and along with Manu they made the LOVE TRIANGLE really exciting!
I watched a bootleg with the original Bway Pryia and she was BAD! anyhow I just saw the 2nd cast on Broadway.
EverythingTaboo, tnks for the pics and the research...i looked for some pics but couldn't find a thing.

Follies...I just don't know if the finale was the same in London as it was in NYC, probably it was. What cast did you see on Broadway? the Tamyra Gray-Anjali Bhimani cast?

That is absolutely right - Thanks Everythingtaboo - That was a time in my life I wasn't glued to the TV and, In retro, It seemed like it was "Moesha" I suppose. She kind of bugged me when I did spy a few moments of her, an accent she used I think.
Those were my "Drunken/Drugged" days too so you miss out on a few things, LOL!
(Not to worry, Betty Ford did wonders for me! I just wish I could have bunked with Elizabeth! I told them that would keep me clean for the next 2 lifetimes!)

Wow!!!

That pic is amazing. Even better live. The "Shakalaka Baby" is not the best number in the show. I think the beginning of Act 2 and the finale are the most amazing numbers I have seen on Broadway recently.

lol I love "Shakalaka Baby"! I've played the song in my hall at college and some of the girls like that song. It's a fun song even if it's not the best. It's definately on the top list for fav. songs of the show.

Although not my favourite, the stage version of "Shakalaka" is far superior to the film recording it's taken from.

Yeah I was showing my friends the Bombay Dreams DVD, but is deffinately not as good as seeing the stage version.

This tour is greatly anticipated!

Posted: 2/3/06 at 7:29pm

For me it is. I wanted to see it on Broadway one more time, but didn't get a chance. It's such a fun musical! My mom and I talk about this musical all the time.

Jimmy you have to come to see the show with me and a bunch of friends on April the 19th, the 1st night the show is playing in FL!!! yeah...story will be made that night. And i will be in Clearwater with about 14 friends!!! yeah...i convinced 14 of my friends from the Fort Lauderdale area to come and see Bombay Dreams with me and pay about $50 each. It is going to be a lot of fun!!! I always do this kind of stuff. I took 6 people who have never seen a show in their entire lives last year. We went to see "Millie" in Miami, all 6 of my friends loved the show.

[muscle23ftl]
