Forever Yours -- Once on This Island

Posted: 5/28/05 at 9:45pm

This song sounds SO familiar. Does anyone have any idea where I might have heard it before?

I have no clue, but I ADORE this song.

I really like the whole show. It's just good, plain fun. My school's doing it next year, so I'm pretty excited about that.

Perhaps at Standing Ovations 2 with Michael Arden and Jenna Leigh Green singing?

That is probably it...I was thinking through the SO concerts, but did not remember anything.

Thanks, Craig!

Just saw it with non-traditional casting, and even though it was good and the gods were amazing, it lost some of it's... 'meaning' by having a mostly caucasian cast.

i saw a highschool do it with an all caucasian cast- it did lose some of its meaning...cause y'know, black people can SING- im SO jealous...iunno caucasians trying to sing black tunes just doesn't sound the same...

I am seeing this show this week at a theatre just outside of DC in Bethesda. I am so excited- love the OCR.

I've seen it with non-traditional casting, and it didn't bother me a bit.
It just makes the show far more about class than about race.
The meaning was not lost.
I starred in a short film called Magnetic Personality. Check it out!

i'm in OOTI this summer!! i'm asaka!!! woohoo!!!

and yeah, we're doing it with non-tradtional casting as well..i mean, i'm about as white as you can get for asaka. but still, i can sing it and i can act it, and i think that even though the race tensions are what the show was built on...class tensions work as well!!!

I did the show a few years ago with an all white cast. While I prefer it to have an all black cast, I don't think it makes a huge difference with white people. Like FloweryFriend said, its just more about class than race, which still works for the plot.

I was in a mixed race cast - black, white, asian, American Indian - it was phenominal and it did make it about class. I did also really enjoy the all black version I saw in Southern CA. It's just a great show on every level - beautiful, energetic, moving. Absolutely the best theatrical experience I've ever had.
