this might be a stupid question...BUT....does anyone know what Laura Benanti is up to next? Any more Broadway projects for her?
She's doing the pilot of a new TV show called Eli Stone.
Cara, you're wonderful!
So...when are they planning to release the WS sheet music?
It's LOADED with possible audition songs.
I know!! I'm really looking forward to its release. According to Hal Leonard there is no release date but there is an item number. It's on back order and costs around $17.95, I think. I'm assuming they will release it around the time the tour kicks off, but I am really hoping for sooner.
I'm already planning on using "Someday" and "Right Infront of Your Eyes" as audition pieces, lol.
"Single", "It's All About The Green"....I've wanted the sheet music for "If I Told You" for awhile now
Kinda off topic..

Lynch's Comedy Central special is supposedly on tonight at midnight (but they've "lied" before)

Aww, have they really? I was excited to watch it!! On Comedy Central's website it's in their line-up, so they better not be lying.
I mean, they have to show it sometime this month because of the Stand Up Showdown, right?
(Which, btw, all of you should vote for Stephen every day. He's not doing so well right now...)

re: Felicia's myspace message
For industry professionals only? Bummer! Sounds like a pretty stellar cast.
Stephen's comedy central special most definitely is on TV right now.

page 4?!?!?! not cool!
i went to see nicolette tonight in RENT. The director made her take her flip out!! :gasp: but the woman is nothing but amazing. so talented.
Broadway Legend Joined: 6/12/06
I'm sad. I haven't yet had the opportunity to see her in Rent (or Rent at all, for that matter) and I will have missed the flip! Aww, I'll be about two weeks too late. *sad face*
Also, what is this flip you speak of?
Featured Actor Joined: 9/18/06
during Over the Moon at the line where Maureen sings "pushed over a cliff by a suicidal mickey mouse" she did a front somersault during "pushed over a cliff" and it just made the moment that much funnier. they made her take it out tho
omg, why would they take that out!!! not cool. lol.
That's an interesting and different and original way of interpreting that monologue. That's sucks that she can't do it anymore.
I wasn't told about it yet, but apparently one of my friends is planning to invite me to see Rent next week. I'm excited. I'm also going to see Chicago at some point during my break.
Haha, they need to let her put the "flip" back in

Great pictures, Cara.
I'm kind of pissed because the Lynch/Joberg show that was apparently happening in Lincoln, Nebraska on March 7th isn't on his tour schedule on his MySpace page anymore. So I guess I won't be getting to see their gig.
Replying to myself to add this: I recieved an e-mail from Kevin Cahoon and Ghetto Cowboy regarding something his band is a part of. Here's the e-mail...
