I know! It seems so obvious, I don't know why no one involved in an actual production seems to get it!

well... production photos are up... how did I know they were going to go the goth drag queen route with Mordred?

Fran looks fierce though!

Those pictures left me rather underwhelmed... hopefully that won't be the sentiment after we all see it this evening...

It was overproduced and very disappointing.

Sounds really horrible to me. Apparently whoever directed doesn't understand the piece. Won't be the first time.

Lonny Price tends to apply his own unique vision to most of his concert productions.

Does anyone know if it's gonna be streamed on any website?

After looking at those pictures I'm even more convinced that Brian Charles Rooney would have been a kickass Mordred.

Byrne is an embarrassment.

Yeah, but I love Marin Mazzie! She sounds great.

Awww, I like Byrne!! And, Marin's fab.u.lous.

He's the most Irish Arthur I've ever heard.

It starts at 9 in my town. Guess it really isn't "live," huh? Anyone knows if they are keeping "I Loved You Once in Silence" for this production? Would love to hear Mazzie singing that song. And if that question was already answered, sorry, I didn't read the previous pages.

I sorta like Byrne's shy, almost awkward Arthur. It makes him a little loveable. But WAY too Irish sounding. And Marin is AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[H.Higgins]

Posted: 5/8/08 at 8:28pm

He's not even attempting to sing; he's kind of unbearable.

And Mazzie's hamming too much. A little sincerity here and there would do the role well.

This is a shame. Updated On: 5/8/08 at 08:28 PM

Yes, she will be singing "I Loved You Once in Silence." I'm not watching tonight because I'm going tomorrow.

YAY! Thanks, Jewishboy. And you are going to this, you're going to PAMELA'S FIRST MUSICAL... I officially stopped liking you :-p Better write a review.

I don't think Marin's that hammy. I'll give it to you, she's not exactly a naturalist, but I haven't found her overbearing.

What's up with Lancelot's leather pants?

Posted: 5/8/08 at 8:42pm

Wow... I'm not watching it anymore.

At first, I wanted to be a loyal Broadway fan... It'd be blasphemy NOT to watch a Live from Lincoln Center broadcast.

But. This. Was. Boring. As. Sh*t.
I don't think I could sit through it anymore.
I'll wait for someone who TiVoed it to burn to DVD

"The Office" is on at 9PM. Yes please.

I am glad I am the not the only one who finds this boring.

[wicked_beast4]

Posted: 5/8/08 at 8:46pm

I'm only watching till Fran, then its off. But I do love Marin. Its just so boring though.

[nmartin]

Posted: 5/8/08 at 8:49pm

Broadfan and EugLoven, thank you! I couldn't take it anymore either. I had to turn to Law and Order: SVU and watch Betty Buckley. Maybe she'll sing Open Your Heart.

I like the show, but I guess the book can be a little long if you're not into it. I'm interested to know what revisions Lonny has included from the Michael Learner adaptation. I would guess the signature of his adaptation was moving "If Ever I Would Leave You" to after "I Loved You Once in Silence". I liked that a lot, but Lonny only mentioned including those revisions very briefly in that interview and he didn't mention which ones.

Oooooh! I forgot Christopher was in this! He's so funny!

[H.Higgins]

Posted: 5/8/08 at 8:51pm

Boring AND poorly cast AND poorly performed. I really wanted it to be good.
