Boy, boy, crazy boy,
Get cool, boy!
Got a rocket in your pocket,
Keep coolly cool, boy!
Don't get hot,
'Cause man, you got
Some high times ahead.
Take it slow and Daddy-O,
You can live it up and die in bed!
Boy, boy, crazy boy!
Stay loose, boy!
Breeze it, buzz it, easy does it.
Turn off the juice, boy!
Go man, go,
But not like a yo-yo schoolboy.
Just play it cool, boy,
Real cool!
Riff--I saw Little Women at Duke a few months ago, and I have to disagree with you. There were several very good numbers, some excellent staging (and this was at the Duke U theatre, with no lighting to speak of) and terriffic performances both from Maureen McG and from Sutton F, as well as some of the supporting players. The lyrics were pretty good and the score was sharp. I thought the 1st act needed some work, but that the 2nd act was quite tight. And from a ticket sales point of view, I think the shiz-heads will be all over this one. I bet there will be more Jo icons than Elphaba and Glinda combined.

Most of the music sounds good... but who is that who is singing Laurie? Well, I don't care who he is... he just sounds bad... sounds like he's pushing it and going flat because of it... hard to listen to.

I saw "Little Women" in its pre-broadway tryout at Duke, and while the show had problems, I think all of the problems are VERY obvious and fixable issues. As long as Susan Schulman isn't completely blind, I think the show could be highly successful on Broadway. The show soars vocally -- Sutton Foster might be in for another Tony award -- you FALL IN LOVE with her (and I'm not even that big of a Sutton Foster fan). Maureen McGovern was vocally incredible and held her own in the acting department and the other sisters certainly held their own -- particularly Megan McGinnis as Beth (The Sutton/Megan duet is incredible). The design elements were appropriate and almost more "spectacle-ish" than I had expected. A bit of eye candy here and there. Cant wait to see the changes they made when they took it Broadway.
Honestly, don't say it has flop written all over it until you've seen it. I think you might be surprised. Let's be optimistic after a somewhat lukewarm season so far.
