Bryant Park Today

Posted: 8/18/05 at 3:11pm

Lennon and All Shook Up were by far the best...the women from ASU were there, the men were understudies....everyone from Lennon was there, except for Julia and Will. The cast performed very well, getting the stale audience to clap along with Give Peace a Chance. Frenchie Davis sang And I am telling you from Dreamgirls, which also brought the 'house' down.

The cast of Lennon really did a great job. So much energy! I really hope their performances prompt people to see the show.
And how cute is Chad Kimball??

Why does Paul Castree's name sound so familiar?

"Julia's sick. Bryant Park Today Bryant Park Today Bryant Park Today"
Poor Julia. Bryant Park Today Hope she's feeling better soon.

I really liked the Lennon performance, esp. since I saw the show yesterday. Chad Kimball is adorable.

ASU's performance was really good. I heard a lot of complaints about Cheyenne Jackson not being there, but Brad Anderson was pretty good as Chad.

Actor's Fund preview performance was AMAZING.

it was awesome. ASU did a great job and Frenchie was great too. I only saw Lennon's sound check not the performance, it was fine.

I sat front center.

You were sitting near where I was, probably. I was front row, a little towards stage left.

the highlight was Frenchie Davis
second highlight was Darius DeHaas
third highlight was Seth being Seth with his intros :)

to be honest, I thought All Shook Up would have more oomph and get more reaction from the crowd than it did

Lennon was okay

Lion King showed how weak the songs really are even though Kissy S. and Josh T. did their best

oh, it was cute that while Sharon Wilkins was singing, Chuck Cooper was off to her left down near the front of the stage taking pictures; she was Lilias White's understudy in The Life and Chuck Cooper was also in the show

Darius DeHaas and Frenchie Davis were awesome. So was Shayna Steele.

And I was in front row a little towards the right, if you were facing the stage. If anyuone saw someone with a birght red "Cabaret" t-shirt walking around, good chance it was me. My camera broke so I ran across the street to buy a $16.00 disposable one and was not a happy person.

ah, yes, Shayna Steele should have been another highlight on my list Bryant Park Today

so all the highlights were from the portion that Seth put together
yay, Seth!!!

oh, and Frenchie Davis changed into this black dress with sparkly whatevers - very striking - she looked lovely
during the sound check, I was thinking, that is not the best Frenchie can do with that song, and sure enough, she let it loose for real

wished Shayna wasn't wearing that floppy hat LOL
