Do we need to dig up this show again?

No offense to Paul Scott Goodman whom I've met and like but ... this thing just doesn't fly. At all.

I believe Kerry Butler was involved with this show a while back.


I would listen to Gavin sing the phone book (the white pages. If he sang nude, I would sit through the yellow pages as well)

I think Kerry was in one of the first workshops. Somewhere I have a tape of it. It's very post-Rent sort of angst and it's not particularly effective and there's a lot of 'so bad, it's funny' moments.

3 of today's strongest singers in one concert I will not be missing this. I saw Maya Days in AIDA a little less than a year ago... she isn't Heather Headley, but is wonderful to listen to. I have never seen Norm Lewis perform, but I am familiar with his work in SIDE SHOW and A NEW BRAIN... "Sailing" is a song I could listen to over and over again, and I do. I did have the wonderful opportunity to meet Norm last week in D.C. at a mutual friends' production. I only know Gavin Creel from TMM... but I simply cannot wait to see him in BOUNCE, when it comes to the Kennedy Center.
