The Los Angeles run of Caroline, or Change begins today, November 6th. Tonya Pinkins and Anika Noni Rose are reprising their roles. BREAK A LEG cast and crew!
"The stage is where I live and come alive and act out all the things that go on in my life. It's not just what I do for a living, it's my shrink and my love affair. No one in my life has ever or ever will kiss me on the mouth like this lover called my relationship with my performance."
I had no idea they were going to LA. I was sad that the show didn't last longer... I adore Tony Kushner. Oh well... hopefully it's well-recieved out there.

First of all, unless that is a known fact, don't even say tell me that nobody from the cast and crew lurks here. MANY members here are in the business of professional theatre. Second, your post was "a waste of a post." It is not smart to be an asshole to someone who is being nice and supportive...
I was saying it to be sarcastic. I love getting strong reactions from people. It was like when I said I hated jesus the other night - I got about 19 PMs about it. It's great.

I don't think so...you just do not want everyone to attack you, so it was "sarcastic." There is a difference between being sarcastic and a complete idiot.

Hey BwayTheatre11 - you're completely right YOU CAUGHT ME! I have so much to prove to the other people on this board that I would make up a lie that I was kidding as to not ruin my reputation. You're completely right!
Example of me being sarcastic: Wicked is really good.
Example of me being a complete idiot: BwayTheatre11, you're a ****.

Oh, and if you haven't heard this already, did I mention that I originally turned my nose up at the idea of CAROLINE, only to see it, and to hear it, and to fall in love with it?
This is one beautiful, theatrical and exciting musical.
If you see one musical in 2005, CAROLINE should be it.
Or in 2006, or in 2007, or in 2008, or in 2009, or in....
Caroline is good, but it's a bit too stylized for me. The only thing I really liked about it was Tonya's amazing performance - the music is pretty bad, and I would completely disagree with you when you say it's the one show you should see this year. I like that you didn't say wicked though, so that's a plus. It's a shame it closed so early, it's a shame Tonya didn't win the award, but I don't think it's ever going to find an audience - it's just not that good.
