Posted: 9/11/05 at 2:01amIt's certainly up there, IMO. The Hilton is stunning. But it's also fairly young.
#351re: All Shook Up Plea
Posted: 9/11/05 at 2:03amwhat 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.
#353re: All Shook Up Plea
Posted: 9/11/05 at 2:12amI 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.

Posted: 9/11/05 at 2:21amyeah, it kinda makes me think of those boxes that are onstage in Phantom.

That picture just breaks my heart! Poor ASU! Poor ACTORS in ASU!
Go see All Shook Up!
#358re: All Shook Up Plea
Posted: 9/11/05 at 12:12pmWhat'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!

Posted: 9/11/05 at 12:19pmThe 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.
#360re: All Shook Up Plea
Posted: 9/11/05 at 12:22pmI 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.

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 :).

that picture makes me soooo sad. it's sooo heartbreaking
A dancer might dream to see her name in lights and mean it,
but all she really dreams is to make someone
else feel the way she did when she first saw a dancer.
And that is so beautiful-Anonymous

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!

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)

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.

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.

Posted: 9/11/05 at 5:34pmDefinitely 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.
