Jason Robert Brown at Au Bar

It was pretty awesome. Best concert I've seen him do yet.
He had some great guests as well. Brian D'Arcy James, and Carolee Carmello were my favorites. I can't wait for his new album.
I also enjoyed "I'm getting out". His personal F!@# you to Broadway politics and Ben Brantley.

Are you telling me Jason Robert Brown is making a......movie-musical?

Julia Murney (Wild Party) was the one who messed up the lyrics. She finished with a bang though.

Jason and Brantley aren't on the best terms because of Parade. (And Urban Cowboy didn't help either) A lot of people felt that Parade deserved more (ESPECIALLY JRB), and there was a lot of hubbub and exchanged words of bitterness.

FOSSE winning best musical over Parade was just salt, hotsauce, lemon juice, and Hydrochloric Acid on the wound. (Does anyone remember when Urban Cowboy was up for Best Score and JRB was shown on camera when they read his name sarcastically crossing his fingers?)

Just thought I'd share this story:

I was on my lunch break in Manhattan at about 11:15, walking to Subway on the corner of 48th and 8th, and I see him walking past me with an Urban Cowboy jacket on. Of course, I'm completely starstruck, and say "That's Jason Robert Brown!", and I say "Excuse Me", before asking for his autograph, but he brushes right past me, when he heard both things I had said. I called after him making sure he knew I was there , but he kept walking, ignoring every word I said.

I don't know what it was that caused him to be so rude, but it made me lose a lot of respect for him.
