Popular, I was able to score one ticket this morning by calling Ticketmaster directly.

Maybe there is another single available . . .

Though I don't like the show at all, I yield to no one in my admiration of JRB's musicianship. But to have the self-regarding JRB as Jamie is a vanity project too awful to even contemplate. You couldn't pay me to see it!

Well, this must be a good show to warrant a typically thoughtful and articulate post from TheEnchantedHunter.

Now I know my money is well spent.

Yippee...I'm going! I'll be in the back row (I should have bought that J row ticket two weeks ago!!) Now, I'll let my husband and daughter fight it out for the other ticket. It's 2 hours away, but will be worth the drive. Plus, I'll be going to see it at the Chance theater when it comes. Last I read, they were having a second audition casting call trying to find a Cathy.

If I were as funny and talented as JRB, I might be full of myself too (well, fuller than I already am). I saw his concert at the El Portal last year and I loved every minute of it. I can't help but feel that comments like Enchanted's come out of jealousy of some kind or other, though he/she will certainly deny it. It reminds me of high school when the best defense against the popular set was to put them down for being full of themselves.

Anyway...it's really great to see such interest here for this show! And this is probably the first sold out Reprise Monday show and the first one not to be offered at 1/2 price. I'm so glad I bought my close up seat a couple months ago (and I thought it was a bit early).

I'm not the biggest Julia Murney fan. I could never get into THE WILD PARTY, although I have to admit she sounds wonderful as Mother in RAGTIME, I do think she'll make an excellent Cathy. Wish I was in California to see it.

oh man thats great news, i bet julia will be a delight! I love what she does with her work...

JRB playing jamie...i would love to see him play a character, i just cant see it though, his personality seems to strong to be explored infront of an audience, after all all the songs i think were written with feelings taken from himself, i hope he fully does the part, and not just a concert version.

Since JRB = Jamie, I can't think of better casting. He's a fantastic singer, and one of the funniest guys I've ever seen on stage. I don't know too many composer/lyricists who are as talented an entertainer as JRB is. It must be difficult for him to give himself entirely to the dramatic moments in the show, since he has to relive a lot of pain, but hopefully he'll be willing to dig deep. There are a lot of us from BWW going to be there, maybe the biggest L.A. get-together ever, and you can be sure there'll be lots of postings after the show.
See you all at the Freud!
(Always nice to hear from Jwaa!)

Just a reminder that The Chance Theater in Anaheim is doing their own production of TL5Y. It should be well worth a look, if you can get down to Orange County.

It is very exciting that we are going to have such a large BWW group representing at this performance!

It's pretty rare that we get to celebrate simultaneously as a LA Theatre audience.

Anyone else joining the biggest BWW/LA event so far?

Posted: 1/11/06 at 3:18am

Yep, and about 8 other people I know hehe.

Wasn't Sondhiems 75th at the Hollywood bowl the biggest?

Oh gosh, now I feel like a party pooper. I want to come! I want to come!

I'm going to be in Vegas the weekend before so I've got to budget my money in case my friend wins Miss America and we go crazy celebrating. Plus I'm probably going to try and catch Avenue Q while there...

decisions, decisions.

Posted: 1/11/06 at 11:44am

Hollywood Bowl's may have been bigger. I don't know as that particular show didn't interest me so I didn't attend. But TL5Y is certainly the largest group concentrated in the smallest area.
Add "fakeblue" to the list of BWW attendees!

JRB playing Jamie seems just a tad like Joan and Melissa Rivers playing themselves in that TV movie...(kidding) Will this be recorded?

Where can you hear Murney as the Mother in Ragtime?

[Danielm]

Posted: 1/11/06 at 12:49pm

Well, eslgr8, some of the remarks regarding JRB may well be due to jealousy. I like him, but after seeing his concert at the El Portal my partner can't stand him. I have to admit he can be rather full of himself and it sometimes seemed awfully self-congratulatory. I like him, thou I much prefered it when other people sang his songs, Scarlet, Megan Mullally and that wonderful woman from New York.

Anjilly will be there too. She is a quality, not quantity poster - but is definitely my better half.
