Posted: 10/7/05 at 1:54pmI am quite excited about The Woman in White, I own the cast recording and love it and the story is great, and I love Maria Friedman and Michael Ball and basically everyone else in it, so YES!

Posted: 10/7/05 at 2:43pmI'm... hopeful, I guess is the word? I've seen it in London and was somewhat underwhelmed. I truly hope it's able to find an audience on Broadway, but am pretty worried that it won't.

It was okay. Not amazing. I may see it again just to see Michael Ball (I saw Crawford in it in London).
If you like Webber, you'll likely enjoy it. If you weren't that huge on him before, this isn't about to convert.
#10re: Excited about WIW ?
Posted: 10/7/05 at 4:21pmI'm looking forward to it.I saw it in London and was very much caught up in the story (I wasn't familiar with the book on which it was based.) The music is haunting and stays with me for days after I listen to it. Michael Ball, was fantastic as Fosco, and I'm very much looking forward to seeing him reprise the role on Broadway.
#11re: Excited about WIW ?
Posted: 10/7/05 at 4:24pmI don't know the score at all - but I'm excited. Not really because it's Webber - because he's not very good - but because it's a new musical.

Posted: 10/8/05 at 8:49amNo, you're not the only one. I'm not in the least excited about it. I really couldn't care less about it. If I got comps or something, I'd go, but otherwise there are just too many other things to do with $100.00.

Yes, quite exited.
I saw it in London three- quaters times because the set malfunctioned, and they were just going to plow through the second act without most of the set, and someone I was with (not saying who,) had one of his bright ideas, and he wanted to see it done the right way, so we went back the night after and saw it in it's full, perfect form. The second act, in my opinion, was really slow towards the end, and the ending I saw left me cold (I saw it in April.) I am also concerned that it won't find its audience on Broadway, but I think the name Andrew Lloyd Webber is going to sell some tickets, though not everyone likes his repetitive style of music. So, yes, I am exited about the show coming here, just a bit concerned that it won't find an audience.

Posted: 10/13/05 at 11:21pmI'm very interested to see what it's like, if nothing else. And I'm excited to see Maria Friedman again.
#21re: Excited about WIW ?
Posted: 10/13/05 at 11:24pmI'm mainly excited to see Michael Ball!
I get lost, unless, of course, I'm getting found.

I just listened to the score again - and that brought back memories of the show in London which I saw early this year.
I have tickets for several dates and I'm actually flying 18 hours on the plane to get to NYC - I guess I am excited to see it again 
And Michael Ball is one of the major reasons for the interest
