i'm finding that the show must really vary considerably from night to night.
OMG...how can I choose just one??? I love them all. I love the Les Miz stuff and the turntable thing they do. I saw the show in April, and they were still doing the Urinetown spoof. Since I'm a Urinetown geek, I loved it!
I hope to see the show again this coming April. A trip to New York is not complete without going to see forbidden broadway.
Yay for Urinetown! I like all of the Forbidden Broadway stuff I've heard... but favorites include:
I Enjoy Being A Cat (just because the refrain is stuck in my head right now...)
Master Class With Patty LuPone
Ouch, They're Tight
RANT (L. A. boheeeeeeeeme!)
I cringe every time someone misprounounces 'La Boheme' or 'La Vie Boheme'-- I've heard some very interesting interpretations of both... but I love RANT.
The Phantom of the Musical
I Couldn't Hit the Note
Folies Bergeres
I Get a Kick Out of Me
Chita Rita
Liza One-Note
A Chorus Cat
Well, just about everything from Volume 2, really. It's the best of the recordings.
"Ten Years More" is still one of my favs!

Agreed on Ten Years More, definitely my favorite. Especially the fake turntable miming. Apparently they had ordered a little Lazy Susan and when it didn't come in in time for previews, they decided to mime it in the meanwhile. They then cancelled the lazy susan when they realized how funny it was...
From the Forbidden Hollywood CD...
I love the scene from "Bridges of Madison County" (My flawless Italian accent) and Liza's appearance..hehe..cracks me up.
The new version opens December 16th.
I Can't wait.
I can't wait to see Christine Pedi, although I am mourning the loss of Michael West. I adore Michael and he is in Vegas with Val.
I hope the new guys are good.

Well, I saw it in previews and I thought the cast was really good. I know I've said this before, but if you didn't read it, I'll re-iterate: Christine wasn't in it, but the girl who played her (not the understudy though) was phenomenal. The cast was really tight and seemed to be having a lot of fun.
Oh man, I wish I'd seen some of the older versions...
I'll miss him too, Corine. He's fabulous :) But I can't wait to see Christine Pedi again!
