Posted: 3/15/10 at 10:57pmI got 21. I agree with some of the comments, like the Chicago one could have been a lot more uncomfortable.

Posted: 3/29/10 at 8:36amWhy didn't they include Aspects of Love? The plot for that is pretty uncomforatble without the need for any embellishment or exaggeration...

"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe."

I did the actor to show one... who would link
Celia Keenan-Bolger, Daphne Rubin-Vega, Gary Beach to Les Miz??? How about Colm, Terrence, Frances?! For Wicked, they used the top 3 that are no longer in it.
I once heard someone describe her (Ruthie Henshall) singing as sounding as though she's trying to swallow a whole meatball slightly larger than her windpipe. (The same person compared Michael Ball's singing to sounding as though he's sitting on a washing machine on spin cycle and Colm Wilkinson's to a man with a paralyzed lip trying to eat cottage cheese.) --- Schmerg_The_Impaler

I think the point of that game was to do a kind-of telephone thing, we're the last actor on a particular show becomes the first actor in the next show. So:
Spelling Bee: Bolger--->Les Mis
Les Mis: Beach--->The Producers
The Producers: Lane--->The Frogs
etc...
