CAROUSEL at the Lyric Opera in Chicago — Page 6

"There's a reason he's been so successful outside of musicals"

Besides playing a dummy on Rescue me, and having a great arc on The Good Wife this year, he really hasn't been all that successful. The only show he starred in (Do No Harm) was the lowest-rated in-season scripted premiere ever on the four major broadcast networks. In modern history. Ever.

He is flawless on stage, and truly belongs there.

4 Stars from the Chicago Tribune

Definitely not a major role, since I just finished watching the series. He even said himself on Twitter it was a "minor role".

Pasquale has a college-age child and has said that he took RESCUE ME because the TV schedule allowed him to be more present in his daughter's life when she was growing up than an eight-show-a-week schedule (not to mention the money).

If anyone thinks that the show apologizes for domestic abuse (rather than depicting it and showing an often-realistic scenario of a person who doesn't really try to get out of it, something that still happens all too often today), I would point them to the scene where ...

SPOILER

Carrie tells Julie that she is better off now that Billy is dead, and asks "Am I right?", and Julie says "yes". Having the spouse agree that she is better off now that her husband is dead certainly doesn't imply that domestic abuse is okay - quite the opposite, in fact.

Yes, Im listening too. That radio station is offering a 20% discount off tickets for the remaining performances for anyone who is interested.

I will have to miss some of it, and I'm not clever enough to know how to save streaming audio--so let me know if you hear of something

I know, they are telling us the entire plot.....I mean, dag man.

"Someone, please feel free to capture this broadcast for those of us who can't listen live. Cheers. "

Tons of programs - most of em free - that can be used to capture streaming audio:

TubeDigger, Replay Media Catcher, Streaming Audio Recorder, Streamosaur

Wait---where can I listen to this?! Is it free??

How far into it are we?

Just started. Sounds amazing.

Pinto - It's being rebroadcast in June... Listen to the whole thing then...
