They better put the Dame Edna bit in.
Yes, Corine is excited.
It Does Not Suck To Be ME.

Speaking of Forbidden Broadway. I had to see Phantom of the Opera for business tonight and i have not seen the show in 12 years. I almost lost it. When i saw it 12 years ago I fell asleep but when i saw it today I started cracking up because all i could think of was COVER UP MY MUCUS OF THE NIGHT.
LOL.
The music is beautiful and the talent in the show is great, but Gerard is all i could think about. LOL.

Have you seen the men in POTO.
I have never seen so many gorgeous men with gorgeous voices.
If only the story was better.
Gerard is my savior. The designs in FB are so creative. I love his work.
My favorites:
The elephant costume with towels (kills me) for one of the Lion King numbers with the swinging trunk. LOL.
The Tracy and Edna Diva dresses. LOVE IT.

I thought Gerard was horrible in the movie...but that's me....

PAtrick was pretty good, Emmy was so-so...

Minnie was my favorite - and she didn't even sing....

I hate the music though...meh!

How'd this get turned into a Phantom thread??? LOL...

I just talked to one of my contacts at "Forbidden Broadway", and it turns out they will be using ALL FIVE of the cast members on the recording... meaning Christine Pedi AND Megan Lewis will both be on it, along with Jen Simard, Jason Mills and Ron Bohmer.

What Forbidden Broadway material do you think will be on the CD?? It has been quite a few years since the last recording.

It is the SVU edition. Which has become one of my favorite editions. Well, because of the Q numbers.

Did I miss the petition? I thought cast recordings don't occur unless there has been a petition. How did this happen?

BSoBW2 - the current cast of "SVU" is Jennifer Simard, Ron Bohmer, Jason Mills and Megan Lewis. The "official" original cast had Christine Pedi, but she was out for a while with no voice and Megan filled in. Since then, Christine finished her run in it and Megan is now in the role. However, the recording will feature all 5 of them! This is great because Christine Pedi is brilliant as Liza, Stritch, Merman and so many others, but Megan has some killer pipes and makes a great Idina!!!

They are actually recording it TODAY!!!! It will hit stores April 26th.....

And Christine does the best Dame Edna impersonation. It actually beats her Liza. The woman rocks!
Megan does a better Idina. I want it now.
