In case you didn't recognize her (and not many would I'm sure) - that's Juliana Hansen who sings that on the current promo and who I believe will be one of the performers featured tonight on the show...
Yay!
Are you watching this?
I just can't get over how cocky this jerk is.
And how that is the Palace minus All Shook Up.
Wow.
Is it me or is there a ton of crap filler instead of showing more people... hmmmm

This show really ticks me off. It doesn't have to be this awful, it really doesn't.

My sister's really mad about how they're making them dress up "in character." She says that a good director should be able to place them in the role no matter what.

Agreed.
Colleen, you're right.
It doesnt have to be this bad, they chose to make it this way.
Kind of like how AMERICAN IDOL's first few weeks are decictated to the horrfic and some good thrown in.

I don't think their "making them" wear costumes, they chose to I believe to get attention.
This woman is hysterical: Joanne Rizzo. I enjoy her.

I get what they're trying to do, but the difference is American Idol manages to make it interesting and balance it out with some really talented people. This damn thing is so bland, contrived and completely obnoxious.

You're right.
Its obnoxious and annoying.
But, hey, people like us are talking about it and watching it which is what they want.

I wouldn't be watching if I didn't have to be.
This is the best 60 minute commercial to go and watch the movie
I still have yet to see even one rough first draft of a person person who I'd consider spending 100 dollars to see on a broadway stage.

ClumsyDude15: Actually, no; they told some of the guys to slick back their hair and seem more Danny-ish, like that one "slacker guy" they had last week.
That girl was sooo poppish; I can't stand when people perform a showtune like they're in a concert and not actually in the moment. In other words, I disagree with Jim.

Not for first open auditon: I guess they could.
Only when they bring them back.

Thank God, one of those "trained professionals" they keep going on about.

He's good.
Is he LINK in HAIRSPRAY?
Possibly.
They claim he's in the tour of HAIRSPRAY.
Honestly, i have yet to see anyone REALLY impress me. Why are they doing this? I just dont understand. *sigh* I just think this is a waste of a tv show.
And i agree, why in the world do they have to "look" the part so much. are we trying to exactly recreate the movie? how about not.
This girl has a good attitude.
So are they positioning Austin to be an audience favorite already or what? Lots of screen time for him bodes well
Yes, well.
He was a professional.

Yes, Austin Miller was on tour and in the Vegas company. I think I might have spotted Spencer Liff in one of the last shots of the lobby/waiting area.

Yea, how they're editing this whole thing is a bit ridiculous. There are a number of professional performers who made it through to "Grease Academy" but he appears to be the only one who got major face time during the first round. We'll see how that changes as this progresses.
And that girl dumping her boyfriend over an audition? Harsh. That is one of the most idiotic things I've ever seen.
Broadway Legend Joined: 7/27/05
The dude had issues. I'm happy she dumped him.
And, go Austin! He was the only really great one I've seen so far.
