It's certainly up there, IMO. The Hilton is stunning. But it's also fairly young.

what would be your favorite theatre? and what is current;y playing there, cause i don't really know most of the theatres by name...

The Palace; on sentimental value, and because it's beautiful. Being there just brings back a lot of warm fuzzies. Studio 54 used to be up there, but without the table seating, it's lost a lot of its charm.

I would definitely agree that the palace is by far my favorite, it's unbelievably gorgeous. whenever i'm in there I feel like it coudl be 1890 or something. And I always wonder how people could see from those boxes that are now just used for sound equipment right by the stage lol, and kinda wish i could sit there just cause it looks like such a cool spot. I haven't been in the Studio 54 theatre.

It looks funny now - just like any of the other theatres, I guess. Except that it still has leopard print carpet, here and there. It used to be very unique - you really felt like you were someplace else. It sort of gave off that gritty feeling, rightfully so, but it had a lot of dicey charm. Nothing so special anymore.

Those boxes are cool because they're deceptively close; odd angle, but you're like... on top of the stage.

yeah, it kinda makes me think of those boxes that are onstage in Phantom.

What's weird is that when i was there last weekend, it was the fullest I'd seen it in ages, I mean it was like March. I was told there were 1200 people there and normally it's like 400. So...basically they sohould do whatever they did last weekend to get people there (was it the fans? i love my fan!) Anyways go see ASU! It's so amazing!

[Blue J]

The fans are awesome! Haha! My friends and I tried so hard - for weeks - to get one and could never find them on TKTS, but we finally did.

[Conor]

Posted: 9/11/05 at 12:22pm

I was trying to get one for ages too! Finally i saw a lot of people with them walking around times square so I ran to TKTS, and they weren't handing them out but there were a bunch like stacked in eth gargabe so I went through and found teh non wrinkled ones. lol. Very embaressing. lol.

[popular_elphie]

Posted: 9/11/05 at 12:41pm

I had to do the same thing! They always ran outta fans by the time I got there, so I had to look around TKTS for some unbent ones.

Also, one of the first times I saw ASU, I had 2 fans with me, and Cheyenne saw them and said he had to get one for his mom and where could he find them. I ended up giving him one of mine :).

[BSoBW2]

Posted: 9/11/05 at 1:25pm

It really is sad.

I did my best to whore the show yesterday in the city.

Here's one convo:

OLD LADY: Hmm, do they have that witches show up there?
ME: Wicked?
OL: Yeah.
ME: Nope, it always sells out.
OL: Oh. What's it about:
ME: Pre-qual to Wizard of Oz.
OL: Oh. Maybe I'll see Hairspray.
ME: You should see All Shook Up. (pointing to the Palace) It's a great, fun show.
OL: What is it?
ME: It's Elvis music. You like Elvis music?
OL: No. I mean yes. But not as a story.

She got quite bitchy too!

[popular_elphie]

Posted: 9/11/05 at 3:20pm

BUMP! See ASU!

Keep this thread alive, guys!

I got a free ASU poster!!! The promo one with Jenn and Cheyenne- I got it at the street fair on 3rd Avenue today from the people at the theatremania booth. And I got a Rent one too. So cool :)
I'm going to have the ASU cast sign it when I'm there this week and next week (since jenn is on vacation this week when I see it next)

bump... heart ASU

[popular_elphie]

To keep this thread up top:

What's everyone's favorite moment in ASU? Mark spoiler where needed.

I have 3:
- The dance break in C'mon Everybody. The music is just so infectious.
- The end of "Can't Help Fallin' In Love", when they call out the names (Sandra!Chad!Sandra!Ed!). Everyone singing together is just...guh.
- Burnin' Love. That song makes me so happy.

[hearthatstrue]

Posted: 9/11/05 at 5:13pm

Um. Wow. That's hard. Let's see...

-"Heartbreak Hotel." Mainly toward the end when the cast starts belting out "Now if your baby leaves you..."
-"C'mon Everybody," particularly the stepping part.
-"Can't Help Falling in Love"
-"I Don't Want To," especially when Chad is on the carousel.
-"Jailhouse Rock"
-Sharon belting her heart out during "There's Always Me." I'm always ready to stand up and cheer.
-"If I Can Dream." I love the motorcycle angels, cheesy as they are.
-"Can't Help Falling in Love (Reprise)." It just makes me so happy!
-The ending.

I really just should have said the whole show.

all of it.

[liotte]

Posted: 9/11/05 at 5:31pm

I agree with Kim- I love the whole thing! Everything makes me smile!

[Blue J]

Posted: 9/11/05 at 5:34pm

Definitely all of it, although there are a few scenes that truly stand out. If I *had* to pick a favorite, I'd probably say the Act 1 finale, "Can't Helping Falling in Love", where all the cast is on stage. It's just awesome and I totally love it! All their combined voices are so powerful.

[kate2]

Posted: 9/11/05 at 6:17pm

i LOVE the whole thing! but the Act 2 opening, "all shook up" is fun! gaaah i cant just pick one its all amazing!
