If you haven't seen it yet, GO SEE XANADU! Even if you have seen it, go see it again! The fun you'll have is indescribable.

I ended up with A Chorus Line. Thanks for all of the suggestions (and I will definitely be checking the rest of them out when I go on break next week).

Quick thoughts...

Something was wrong that they could not start the show at first. Tech problems of some sort. The cast came out onstage and the lights stayed off for a minute or two before they announced technical issues, and that they were going to hold off for a few minutes.

When the show finally did start, it was very good. There was only one understudy (Lyndy Franklin as Bebe). She is excellent. If I had to make one criticism it would be that her voice was almost TOO strong during "At the Ballet," and it was a bit difficult to hear the others on the harmony (could've also had something to do with where I was sitting). That was only a really minor thing, she was otherwise fabulous.

The new Greg, Tommy Berklund, was pretty funny. He's a lot younger than Michael Gruber and it definitely comes across onstage. I liked him, though.

The rest of the show is business as usual, it was good.
