How many performances did it run?

What's your favorite number from the show? (Notice the singular in the sentence, "number" - meaning only choose one!)
Mine would be "Easy As Life" - but it IS very hard to choose one.

AND THEIR STORY
AND MY JOURNEY
AND THE LESSON THEY PROVIDE
DRAW THEIR STRENGTH AND INSPIRATION
FROM A LOVE THAT NEVER...
DIED...

Wow. I've officially missed my chance to see Aida. And I bet I missed tons of fun today too.
My favorite songs- The past is another land, How I know you, Elaborate Lives, Enchantment passing through and I know the truth. Radames' Letter makes me melt.

They're all going out to dinner after the show so we won't have our reviews for a little while.
My favorite song is "Written in the Stars"

Posted: 9/5/04 at 8:25pmYou know I hate to be "that guy" but thank god. I never understood how people liked this show. Egyptian Rent just doesn't work.

Posted: 9/5/04 at 8:28pmGood thing it wasn't an Eygptian Rent then. That would have been a crappy show.

Posted: 9/5/04 at 8:28pmMaybe it didn't work out because it is not "Egyptian RENT." Nothing like RENT...why do people always compare shows to RENT?

I can't believe it's gone... Aida is my second favorite show, right behind Les Miserables. I'm glad I got a chance to see it twice, and one of the times with Adam!
As for favorite number? "A step too far"
... and i know you said just one, but "Elaborate Lives", "Written in the Stars", and "Enchantment Passing Through" are my other favorites as well, but "Step too far" is absolute favorite.

Posted: 9/5/04 at 8:32pmIt's not that I am tottally comparing it to Rent, because in my opinion Rent is Cats with aids. It's just a wonderful opera that Disney bastardized and tried to catch the Rent wave with the song styles and casting. Baz did the same thing with his opera too. My point is I thought it was a weak show with a couple good numbers and some wonderful Backstreet Boy choreography by an otherwise talented choreographer(sp).

nooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
i'll never say goodbye - i keep thinking of the line from the show that's on my avatar!! aida will return!!! it will be as easy to forget as aida was to radames!! ::sigh::
#69re: GOODBYE AIDA!!
Posted: 9/5/04 at 11:38pmokay totaly not agreeing w/ the 'egyptian rent' and 'cats with aids' things. rent is rent. aida is aida. cats is cats. end of story. why must we continue comparing all shows to other shows?

Umm Carl, dear, there is very little dancing in Rent and that is all that Cats is basically.
So back to Aida *sob* I missed it!
