Boston Spelling Bee — Page 2

Thanks for posting this, I bought tickets to see the tour in Boston for my parents for Christmas... it makes me feel better after seeing your review.

yelli,

I think I may have seen you. I was sitting to the left of the person on your left.

I went (again!) tonight, and Elsa Carmon was on for Betsy Wolfe (Rona Lisa Peretti). She did a decent job, although her Peretti is much different, much more straight-faced and more authoritative. Also, the height difference was sort of jarring. Betsy Wolfe is about a foot taller than most of the "kids", and Elsa Carmon is about Sara Inbar's (Logainne) height, who's the shortest.

The audience was really into it, although the numbers were sad. They closed off the Mezz. and moved everyone into the orchestra.

And FYI, according to some flyers that were up in the theatre, some of the cast will be performing at Club Cafe (that's in the South End) on Tuesday, December 19th, at 10:30pm. I can't go, but I hope some of you will go!
