Thanks Jim. If I had reliable wheels, I'd get myself to AMTSJ to see it since that is a great price, bad show or not.

I'd probably do the same thing. I'd see most anything at least once but it is not easy to get from SF to SJ.

Are you back in SF? I just got back from "A Chorus Line". Wow! It's still a great show.

Melba Moore is looking good in those pictures you posted. She's had a tough life but I'm glad to see she is back.

- Yes I'm happily back in the breeze of San Francisco (landed this afternoon)
- But missing my ballet kids terribly. Really...
- Oh, you lucky duck! If you can, elaborate on your "A Chorus Line" experience for me, please. I haven't yet bought my "A Chorus Line" ticket, but of course will soon.
- Melba Moore may look good, but according to some of my friends who saw the tour already, she's a mess up there. I wouldn't know one way or the other.

So I just broke down and bought 2 for this afternoon when SECOND ROW came up for $13.75. I'll try to post a review by tommorow.

Ok, so I saw Brklyn on Wednesday and was not impressed. I had heard the cd about a year ago and did not like it. I couldn't pass up the chance to give the show a try at $14.00 so I went with an open mind. I love Diana and all the cast- incredible talent. I liked the storyline, and the creative use of costumes and sets. I did not, however, like the music. I LOOVE the song "Once Upon A Time" and that is it! Nothing else was even memorable. Am I disappointed that I saw it? NO!! Had I paid $70.00 a ticket? YES.

mizwicked, I couldn't agree more. The cast, AMAZING! the show, take it or leave it. Not as bad as I honestly expected, but not that good either, if that makes sense. I can see whay it has some fans, people who love the American Idol style belting, of which Diana and the rest of the cast did a great job with, and more. By far not the worst thing I've seen on a broadway style stage, but this is not a thread about vampire musicals.

The house at yesterdays matinee was only about 1/4 full. Very sad in that cavernous space.

Back to Diana though, GIRL CAN SING! She blew the rafters off the place. Now I saw Eden do Wicked here in SF, and I remember Eden from her days at Disney's California Adventure in Disney's Steps in Time. I cannot see Eden singing this score like Diana did yesterday. Diana I did not expect to be as impressed with as I was. I hope she does more theatre because WOW! If he goes back into Hairspray I would consider a trip to NYC to see her.

I think this show would have done much better off broadway and on tour in smaller houses.

I too am glad I saw it, but probably won't if it tours again. (unlikeley due to ticket sales this time out)

Yes I do hope that DIana does many more Broadway shows- definitly great at it! That is so sad about the empty theatre. It was actually full on Wednesday night (opening night) but Diana did come out at the end trying to convince everyone to see it again and tell their friends to go see it. You know that is a bad sign when the star has to plead with the audience.

Was the audience old enough to drink?

If they were mostly under 21, that could contribute to the short bar lines.

Yea there were....I wasn't dissappointed at all for $14.00. The cast was incredibly talented and made up for what the show was lacking (for the most part) and the show was VERY loud.

I didn't notice a real increase in sound from other musicals there. Maybe from where you were sitting?
