Hmm, I guess Joey Fatone started tonight. When people get home who were there, I want to hear about him! Must have been interesting.

I hate when they start someone early! If they have a set date to begin, they should begin on THAT date.

For real. I would have been pissed if I went and got stuck seeing him. What a drag. Haha.

i think it sucks they started him early too, not because I have anything against Fatone but what if the other actor had people coming to see him?

I don't really think he's going to be that bad. I mean if he was awful in Rent (Which I didn't see him in) why would they bother casting him in something else? It's not as though Nsync is still big or anything. I think he should be given a chance he might be decent.

And hang on, when did you win the discus?

hmmn...I dont really know what to think about this...I meen...I really didnt like N'SYNC at all...but if someone in pop culture is embracing broadway music as much as he has...I guess he could be kind of respectable?...and now I really wish I would've seen him in rent.

He could be that boy...Im not that girl--Elphaba

I agree, I mean, he seems to really love being on Broadway.

Did anyone actually see him last night?

Mistress I agree with you on that! It stinks for the person who is filling in for the lapse between 2 contracts. I mean I bet he was eager but come on let the guy enjoy the 2 days he has left in the role. Would anyone else be able to start ahead of their contract?? That is the only thing that would bother me. I am sure Joey will be fine, i just hate special treatment.

Actually, I think something might have happened with the understudy and that is why Joey started early, because he said on Regis and Kelly that he was "kind of thrown in earlier unexpectedly" but its not his official opening.

Yea, his official opening was to be tomorrow. I wonder what happened that he had to start two nights early. Oh well. That wasn't very professional of him to say he was "thrown in". Weird, oh well.

I also agree Mistress. Anyone who has read Jeffrey Denman's wonderful book "A Year With The Producers" will see how excited understudies are every night they are scheduled to perform. I know for a fact that casting people from all over are invited by the understudies and their agents to see the shows. Fosters understudy no doubt had relatives, casting agents, regional theatre people all waiting to see HIM perform.

Now you have relatives, casting agents, and regional theatre people who otherwise may have not seen this lower quality show, waste their time, money (dinner, possibly the show, fares) who did not see the person they wanted to see. That may be the future of an actor who doesn't know his next job, thrown down the toilet because the producers wanted to toss their multimillionaire into the role.

A truly terrible move on the part of the producers of Little Shop of Horrors.
