I'm attending on Friday.

I hope they all do well.

I'm sure that this has been discussed to death elsewhere, but is Norbert going on?

[BobbyBubby]

Posted: 7/28/09 at 8:56pm

Yes

What a professional.

Yeah, that's crazy. There is no way I'd be able to do that a week after the violent death of a relative. Although, i suppose for an actor, its probably the best way to help with coping is to get back into what you do.

Staying busy certainly helps me when somebody close dies, but I don't know...performing in a musical comedy must be tremendously difficult and seem totally ridiculous at a time like that.

So for us on the east coast, reviews won't be posted until around 3am?

[BobbyBubby]

Posted: 7/28/09 at 9:16pm

I'd say 2 or 3 am. Unless someone is on a blackberry and texts at intermission. Which would probably be around Elevenish.

I almost went tonight but decided to give them a few performances before taking it in.

I hope if someone posts their thoughts they are objective and honest. Remember the raves for 9 TO 5 when it was out of town and how impeccable people said it was and how SJB would win the Tony and it was a shoo-in to win Best Musical along with a crapload of other Tonys?

I'm going in with an open mind. Many have high expectations and expect it to be the next Hairspray. I hope it succeeds but if it has flaws, I'll be sure to point them out.

[WiCkEDrOcKS]

Sounds good. Based on the demo, it seems like it's not going to be as good as HAIRSPRAY. The score, or the songs I've heard at least, is/are definitely a few notches below HAIRSPRAY's.

See and I would say that I think that CMIYC is Marc and Scott's strongest work to date.

I'll be going tomorrow night!

Sounds like you've already made up your mind, Rocks. I haven't heard enough of the score to make any kind of judgement, and have no idea if the show will be as good, better, or worse than Hairspray (or any other musical, for that matter).

Did Patti do one of the demos? Because I am listening to one & Patti's has quite a noticeable voice.

I'll be going on Saturday night, front row.

I'll be there next Friday night.

I haven't made up my mind about the show as a whole but based on the songs I've heard on the demo (which very well may be changed or eliminated from the score by now) I'm a bit underwhelmed by the score.

The direction, choreography, technical aspects, performances, book, etc are still obviously up in the air because I haven't seen any of them. I have heard most of the score and if it hasn't changed much I have to say I was let down. But I am still, and have been for quite some time, excited to see the final product.

I've heard a lot of demos that I wasn't too fond of but I ended up liking the final product in the show. So we'll see.

Oh God, another debate about this stuff?

[SueleenGay]

Posted: 7/28/09 at 11:19pm

Lets just keep harping on First Wives Club and let Catch Me fly in under the radar as they work out the kinks (if any).

It would be good that when someone starts a thread with the title CATCH ME IF YOU CAN PREVIEW THOUGHTS, it's because they saw it and have posted their thoughts on the thread!

Hmph! Well I never...
