It was a fantastic show. Jenn and Tracy will be missed so much by me. My Penny and Amber. Tracy's "look" was hilarious. There were lots of former cast members there and some creators too. I had the pleasure of briefly meeting Marc Shaiman I was standing at the end of the stage door baricades and all of a sudden he was right there and my dad told me to go say hi, so my sister and I did. He was very nice and I told him how I've seen the show 13 times, lol, and how I just love it.

Chester's "Run and Tell That" ending was awesome Yey Chester!

I was sad that they didn't make an announcment at the end but I guess they only do that for principle OBC members. Was also sad to see that Shayna did not come back on in the 2nd act. I hope she's ok.

Great show everyone!

All these people saw Dottie, yet no one said hi. I'll let you know the next time I'll be there.

I'm kind of curious to see Michelle as Penny, and I will be in NYC on the 15th.

I'm shy, lol. Especially with people I only know from the internet. Next time I'll say hi! Enjoy Michelle :)

Well I did not want to say "HI" just in case it was not you.Do not think now that it was because the person I saw inside and that passed me outside...was with a gentleman...You said :Told her all about getting the name Dottie"...Walking towards 8th avenue.Middle stripe was Black...chest high...
Definately enjoy Hairspray on the 15th...Michelle is a Great Brenda...hope she`ll be great as Penny.She leaves to go with Jenn to do "All Shook Up".
I will not be back in the City until the 22nd to see Brooke in Beauty and the Beast...That will be my 3rd time seeing her in that... Updated On: 10/4/04 at 09:37 PM

Eek! I'm going to see it for the 14th time tonight. I'm scared to death because the last time I saw it was Harvey's last day. It's going to be strange not to see Jenn and Tracy, not to mention Harvey (I never saw it without him.). I'm actually excited to see Hollie as Penny, mainly because of her facial expressions. My dad likes that Bruce guy, so he's all excited! Mind, I'm only going because my mom is going to see Golda's Balcony and we couldn't get close enough seats for Wicked (I'm blind, so.). I'm so scared wihtout Harvey there! EEEK!

Up in won: Bruce is wonderful. I saw him on the tour twice. Just go and enjoy yourself. I had the privilege of seeing three different actors play Edna and they were all wonderfully different.

Now that I just figured out exactly who this Bruce guy is, I'm so excited! And I'm still excited to see the show, but it's going to be a little sad not seeing Harvey's face pop out from behind the thing Edna holds up at the start. Oh well! I'm definately going in with a clear head about things, even if I am excited to see Bruce, Hollie and Carly! Lol. Sorry, I don't think that made oo much sense! When my dad was like, "Julie! YOU KNOW WHO BRUCE IS! He has that HUGE beard." I go, "THAT FURRY GUY FROM HOLLYWOOD SQUARES?!" And, yeah, it's him. Lol.

I saw michael mckean his first week as edna. give a new guy a chance and don't expect a carbon copy of harvey -- there is none. you are seeing edna, not harvey -- and you will be pleased. there are a few things that bruce does that bugs me, but he is a great edna.

[Up In Won]

Posted: 10/5/04 at 2:52pm

I know it's Edna. It's just going to be strange after seeing Harvey 13 times, to see someone else. As I said, I'm excited to see what these new cast members have come up with. I'm not even close to expecting a carbon copy of Harvey. In fact, I'd be upset if if Bruce tried to do the same things as Harvey. (And, that was a little issue for me with Jenn at first, but I grew to like her too.)

You will definitely like Carly as Tracy. The girl keeps getting better and better (if that's possible). I wish I had a recording of her singing the songs from Hairspray. She has a phenomenal voice.

I adore Tracy Jai and Jenn. Both very very special and talented people. I love those two and can't wait to see them graceing the Broadway stage again. All Shook Up is coming with Jenn and I hope to see Tracy getting a leading role very soon :)
