Feeling Electric Question#0

Posted: 12/5/05 at 8:06pm

Hey everyone, I was wondering if anyone who has seen the show or knows anything about it could give me a list of the songs and who sings what and possibly a cast list of who plays who. I found a summary but thats about it and I'm really trying to find out more about this show. Any help would be much appreciated, and you can either post it or PM it to me. Thanks!

Yoa asked the right person.I dont have much time right now, so i will give you a brief summary:

Feeling Electric is the story of a woman named Diana dealing with mental illness.You find out as the show goes on that this is the result of the death of her son at birth.She has delusions about the son which lead her to attempt suicide.It is decided that the only way she might be helped is E.C.T.(shock therapy).Mean while, her husband and daughter are going through the throws of this situation, leading the daughter Natalie to start using drugs and attempt suicide.You also find out that the husband is dealing with mental problems as well at the end of the show.

I know this decription probably leaves a lot out because this is such a complicated show,but I hope it helped.

Cast(NYMF)

Diana-Amy Spanger
Son/Tweak/Dr. Fine-Benjamin Schrader
Dan-Joe Cassidy
Natalie/Dr Wells-Annaleigh Ashford
Dr. Madden-Anthony Rapp

I love the music. Can you tell me who is singing on those clips? Is it Amy Spanger on the first one. Anthony Rapp on the middle two, and then Joe Cassidy on the last one? The middle two sorta sound like Anthony but at the same time it doesn't sound like his usual voice. Hm.

Any word on the fate of this musical? Is it moving to Off-Broadway? Or what's up with it.

I was wondering the same thing..none of the clips sound like Anthony to me..

Yeah, like it sounded more like Adam than Anythony, which was weird. I know he checks BWW sometimes, has anyone heard him talk about the future of the show? i would love for it to be playing when I come up in march.

Definitely not Adam.

I really hope this show has some sort of future. It's so good.

Does anyone have anything else from the show that they can PM me? I liked what I heard in the clips, and I would like to hear more..

i haven't listened to the clips, BUT -
i know the show was originally workshopped with sherie rene scott and norbert leo butz as the two leads. so there's a possibility it's them.

my life is brilliant. my love is pure.

The middle 2 are defintaely not Anthony as they are not songs that his character sang, they are the Husbands songs.

when ducks grow thumbs then maybe my opinion will change.

Incredible show, left me very emotional. Very powerful. I hope it goes somewhere, it's incredible.

The sound clips on the site are Norbert and Sherie Rene Scott, I believe.

"`I grow old... I grow old... I shall wear the bottoms of my trousers rolled.` What does that mean, Mr. Marlowe?" "Not a bloody thing. It just sounds good." He smiled. "That is from the `Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock.` Here's another one. `In the room women come and go/Talking of Michael Angelo.' Does that suggest anything to you, sir?" "Yeah -- it suggests to me that the guy didn't know very much about women." "My sentiments exactly, sir. Nonetheless I admire T. S. Eliot very much."

I love this show and really hope it gets to Broadway soon... so I'm gonna say who I believe is singing in all the songs. (The only one I'm not sure about is the last song.)

"I Miss The Mountains" - Sherie Rene Scott
"A Light In The Dark" & "I've Been" - -Norbert Leo Butz
"Feeling Electric" - Greg Naughton?

PM me if you need a tracklisting for either of the versions... the one with Norbert, Sherie, etc. or the one from Sept.

Keep smiling, it makes people wonder what you're up to

I probably should have mentioned that these came from the site of a theater group in Washington state.There are not from the NYMF cast.I was not sure who they were, but I do believe the first one is indeed Sherie Rene Scott.She has a distinctive voice.I would love to see her do this role.I think Amy Spanger did an incredible job as this tortured individual and I would love to see what Sherie could bring to it as well.

Last I heard, it was going to be workshopped here in NY this month. I'm not sure if I can see this working on Broadway, but I'd be very surprised if it didnt end up with a successful off-broadway run. It was really amazing, I'd love to see it again

I asked Anthony Rapp at a Rent Screening and he said there is talk about a New York Production 2006-2007. He also said if he is free he would love to do it.

This is going to sound kind of strange but I think I've heard I'm Not Alone Before. Is it the song from Tom Kitt's CD you can hear for free on ShKBoom?

Do you mean 'I've Been'? Yes, that's on Tom Kitt's CD, with slightly different lyrics.
