re: Can we just talk about MICHAEL ARDEN!!!

re: Can we just talk about MICHAEL ARDEN!!!

Ok let me say what Ive got real quick.

Who said he has no vocal training? He attended a perfomring arts high school, they train you there vocally.

As for single, last i heard, hes taken. Or was certainly atleast seeing someone who attended the pippin benefit, met him at the afterparty.

He can be seen around hells kitchen if you really want to stalk him, thats where he resides, just say hi, he talks to everyone who says hello, nice kid.

Album is in definitely supposed to be coming. Was working on it recently when i last spoke to him.

Thats all i got, glad to see so many people appreciate such a nice young guy, happy michael watching!

Wait..."met him"...as in...you met him in the afterparty or Michael "met him" (as in whom he's dating) in the afterparty? Just wanted to clarify.

OK...excuse me for asking, but is he gay?

Does anyone know where I can hear a clip to the song he wrote called "N and R"??

re: Can we just talk about MICHAEL ARDEN!!!

Michael Arden has had vocal training he's now studying with Liz Caplan... I dunno how long he's been studying with her, but I think he started with her when he was cast in Bare.

I am so so excited about the album. Yes, I second, where can I find sound clips? Certainly not on michaelarden.com... hahaha.

re: Can we just talk about MICHAEL ARDEN!!!

www.michael-arden.com is his fan base... there are some clips from Bare on there but not from his album

A little late, but I listened to Bare for the first time the other day.

All I can say is that it is an absolute shame that the show never got the financial backing it needed, but with Michael's voice I don't think it'll hurt his career in the slightest.

I think we all just need to be counting down the days until his first Tony win.

re: Can we just talk about MICHAEL ARDEN!!!

I agree on both counts. Bare is a masterpiece... those writers have hits ahead of them, definitely. And Michael Arden as well.

I don't know if I'm more impressed by Michael's voice or his compositions. He's certainly got a long, bright future ahead of him. I hope some of you can make it to Pippin in L.A. and let us know how it goes.

Oh and he's also humble and kind. I just kind of want to pinch his cheeks and tell him to snap out of that and be the egotistical diva he deserves to be on occassion. re: Can we just talk about MICHAEL ARDEN!!!

re: Can we just talk about MICHAEL ARDEN!!!

The guy seems talented, but this thread seems a bit pre-mature. Michael has yet to prove himself to the theatre world at large. (True, the teeny booper scene seems to have embraced him, but the grown-up world isn't buying yet.) He may very well have a nice carrer ahead of him, but this thread might qualify as over kill.

Teeny-bopper scene??

Let's see I was born October 7, 1976, which makes me, 1...2...3... many years away from being a teenager.

I think it's nice to see people excited about up and coming performers.

"Michael Arden has had vocal training he's now studying with Liz Caplan... I dunno how long he's been studying with her, but I think he started with her when he was cast in Bare."

This is true. But Liz Caplan isn't a voice teacher. She's a vocal coach. And there's a big difference.

Magic8ball - What IS the difference between the two? One is like a person you go to temporary for some guidance and the other trains you??

I don't see why this thread can be pre-matured. We don't all wait for things to be "successful" first before we can praise them.

I am DYING to hear "Easter Rising." (sigh)

re: Can we just talk about MICHAEL ARDEN!!!

I was lucky enough to meet Michael, see Pippin twice, and go to the afterparty. He was absolutely amazing, as was the rest of the cast. Michael and Sam.. man, absolutely phenomenal.

re: Can we just talk about MICHAEL ARDEN!!!

yep, michael was truly beautiful in pippin. damn you don't know how badly i want a recording of that cast! that would make my dreams come true. well, except for the other dream of mine where michael and i get married, but whatever.

ardenlove, check your pms.
Be the change you wish to see in the world.
