'Live in Living Color': CATCH ME IF YOU CAN love thread — Page 4

I don't recall there being a staircase like that in Seattle...

Brandon is the understudy for Aaron; haven't heard anything about others yet, though.

Any word on a lotto/rush policy yet?

I'm glad to hear Yorkey's been called in to work on the book. The show has remarkable potential and I really hope they get the following issues fixed:

1. The drab, bare-bones set (really doesn't fit with such an extravagant, colorful show)
2. The "live TV special" framing device (I mean, does a musical need an excuse to have songs, dances, and narration?
3. The rushed nature of the ending (particularly the scenes where Frank gets caught and the lackluster finale, which ends the show on a whimper)
4. That godawful, plodding and saccharine New Orleans sequence, which is severely out of step with the rest of the show and stops it dead precisely when it should be picking up speed.

But the performances are out-of-this world and the majority of the songs are wonderful. Very excited to see how this one's grown.

I liked the other two songs I have heard from the score, but Jet Set was pretty bland, imo.

In the cast information on the official website Kerry lists all of her Broadway credits except for "Beauty and the Beast." Was that a typo, or do you think she did not want to include that credit?

Goodbye is by far my favorite song in the show - unfortunately, it's also the only song I can't find a Tveit-sung recording of.

Regardless, I really loved the show in Seattle, and the rehearsal video made for a great watch. Very excited for the Broadway premiere.

Any news on a cast recording? Hoping they record soon!

VERY excited about this show and the cast album! This show has the strongest material and cast going for it. Excited!

I'll be sitting in the first row Friday night, so I'll let you know.

I guess the front row isn't being used for lotto.

In Seattle anyways, there was some action that takes place in the front orchestra at the beginning of the show and again at the end, so that should be cool from the front row. I'd avoid the rear balcony for this reason (where I saw the show once). Not that you miss much; you understand what's going on, but it would be cool to see.

Unless he's sick or injured he'll be doing all of the shows. Can't wait to see it tomorrow!
