Yay for Hugh!!! Boo for Richard Gere...

Hey, don' go dissin' my man Richard.....

Actually, I think Gere did a better job than Jackman would have, since Gere can lay on the smarmy better than Jackman. I was actually impressed with his dancing and singing, TTTT; he pulled it off quite nicely.

In terms of acting, he was okay, but I wasn't too impressed with his singing.

True, I doubt he's headed for a Broadway career, but he still did a good job.

WickedDude, how bout not for Susan and Kristen... and you didn't answer my question either.

As for Michael as Billy, I've seen him and he's great. But you won't be seeing him as Billy again anytime soon as he's no longer with the company.

And yeah, I loves me some Richard Gere

Jasmine Guy was excellent as Velma when I saw her about 4 years ago

What was the question you asked CJR?

[Dollypop]

Posted: 7/5/04 at 7:14pm

Has anyone thought of Loretta Swit as Matron Mama Morton?

[CJR]

Posted: 7/5/04 at 7:27pm

My question was who HAVE you seen in the show?

[WickedDude]

Posted: 7/5/04 at 7:28pm

No but I have the movie on DVD. The reason I have not seen the show is because I'm on the west coast.

Posted: 7/5/04 at 7:31pm

The film is very different from the show. Film and stage are totally different media.

[WickedDude]

Posted: 7/5/04 at 7:33pm

I know. They cut like what five numbers fromt the movie?

[broadwayguy2]

Posted: 7/5/04 at 7:35pm

yeah, plus the script is wattered down... among numerous other things

[WickedDude]

Posted: 7/5/04 at 7:45pm

I did not know that. But they do have the deleted musical number from the movie called "Class" with Cathrine Zeta-Jones and Queen Latifah. I can tell you this. Cathrine Zeta-Jones can cuss like a salior!

[CJR]

Posted: 7/5/04 at 7:58pm

Ah, you've only seen the movie. That explains a lot.

[broadwayguy2]

Posted: 7/5/04 at 7:59pm

[CJR]

Posted: 7/5/04 at 8:13pm

yes..

I am gettin round.

[CJR]

Posted: 7/5/04 at 8:16pm

Hahaha :) Well I loved that quote and I gotta show the love for my girl!

[broadwayguy2]

Posted: 7/5/04 at 8:19pm

and damn does she deserve it! In all honesty, I WISH she would have been on as Velma when I saw it. That belt of hers LITERALLY vibrated through my body.

[CJR]

Posted: 7/5/04 at 8:27pm

OMG. Seriously. I should send you the Portugal All That Jazz (with her as Velma).. then you can hear the "wonder note." lol

[broadwayguy2]

Posted: 7/5/04 at 8:32pm

ANY time she belts it's a wonder note!

[CJR]

Posted: 7/5/04 at 8:35pm

This is true... and hey, if you'd seen her as Velma, you would have gotten to see her "flying splits."

And no, before some newbie sends me a PM and asks, I'm NOT Roxane Carrasco.

[broadwayguy2]

Posted: 7/5/04 at 8:37pm

UGH! I SOO wish I didn't have to sit through Pia Dowes... I only liked her at the VERY end of Act One.... Charlotte D'Amboise REALLY had to pick up teh slack. Pia was nothing special.
