Posted: 6/27/06 at 11:09amI have to say I enjoyed Souvenir and the irrepressible Judy Kaye and also Well, especially for Jayne Houdyshell's remarkable performance.

Posted: 6/27/06 at 1:09pmI LOVED Dance of The Vampires! I also loved the broadway production of Little Shop of Horrors. Not sure if that was a flop though.

Posted: 6/27/06 at 2:30pmMy partner hated Woman in White, but I was glad to have seen it for the technical acheievments alone. I also enjoyed much of the score. I wish I had seen it with Maria Friedman (who was out at the beginning of her cancer treatment) as I really enjoyed her on the London cast recording.

Posted: 7/3/06 at 3:26pmIf you like Dance of the Vampires, I suggest getting the German Cast album, since there obviously isn't one in English. The german one is really awesome (I understand NONE of it, but its fun to listen to, and impress your friends when they think you understand German...)and besides...Steve Barton!

ALL SHOOK UP was not a jukebox musical. Stephen Oremus took Elvis's songs and completely revamped them - they might as well have not even been created in some instances. And it wasn't about Elvis, it was a completely new, fun story.
LENNON - yeah, biographical jukebox, but I still loved it. They were doing something different and god forbid it didn't get accepted, or even given a chance.
BROOKLYN - again, they did something different! What five people were able to do as all those characters plus changing the set and costumes and props... along with a fun story- it deserved a better chance.

Posted: 7/3/06 at 5:18pmLESTAT - obviously since I've been shrilling for it since Decmember. Despite all the bad lyrics and dialogue and choppy storyline, there was something that I loved about it. Contrary to popular belief, it is NOT as bad as many made it out to be.

Soo many of these it seems...
Sunset Boulevard (one of my absolute favourite shows)
Scarlet Pimpernell
Once on This Island
Seussical
Woman in White
and the biggest travesty of ever closin in my opinion goes to...
RAGTIME! How can this show have been cancelled? It was such an iconic achievement. I'm still sad it's gone...
