Well, what do you expect? Acting is about assuming a character and costumes are so much a part of that. So without the costumes, performing to 50 million people has to be intensely offputting.
Actually, as I was watching the cast of LB, my heart was breaking for them. This is a big event and they were forced to perform in.... Macy's mufti. Now there's a new souvenir.

My Tivo cut the XANADU number into two parts-- I only saw "All Over The World" & the finale number "Xanadu".
Its nice to see Curtis Holbrook, Marty Thomas & the rest of the cast on TV. I love it !
Cheyenne Jackson is looking good as usual ..Alright for wearing tank top and lookin' hot on TV !! and what's his tattoo?
I love Xanadu soo much (everyone knows that) and Kerry Butler (she's my girl) but her wig seems horrendous on TV ! is it just me? but in the theater -she has this beautiful- somehow curly blonde wig... the wig she had today was a bit dry & not the best in shape...sorry to say that ! I love Xanadu and i wont say anything bad about the show, but in all honestly - I somehow dont like her wig! but her performance was always grrreat

Posted: 11/22/07 at 12:58pmIt sounds great, I'll catch it later in broadcasts. I am proud of LB for doing their best in a tough situation. I am sure the original costumes are great. If anything now people will be curious to see what they missed. I hope the Stagehands share their donuts with them for not crossing the picket line or pitching a fit for not having their costumes. I bet some wardrobe people still helped out because that is just what they live for.

Posted: 11/22/07 at 1:06pmAnakela, they made that Elle/Warner banner, at least that's what people were saying at the theatre yesterday. I was there when they walked up with it.

Posted: 11/22/07 at 1:06pmXanadu makes me want to see it, but it wasn't amazing. My favorite was Mary Poppins because of the high energy that every other shows, save Xanadu, lacked.

Did Jerry Mitchell make it? :) Lol, I just totally have this mental image in my head of Jerry Mitchell now taking over making props, as well as directing and choreographing. Thanks for that info- it was really great, looked like the regular u/s banner that they use in the show.
Legally Blonde on MTV right now, the extra special singalong version- What You Want (with the costumes) up next!!

^^^ soo funny ! 
Legally Blonde performed "What You Want" they started with the line .... she did not bother to send a personal essay... So how's this for personal essay!
Most of them are just wearing LB's t-shirt except for the Harvard Admission Committee. ( I dont know why theyre in costume?-if costume dept is in solidarity with the strike)

I concur that Legally Blonde should've done the Remix, for all the reasons listed above... plus, I was a little sad that there was no Kate Shindle.
YF was great, and Sutton's arm flailing and expressions totally made my day.
Also, seeing Cheyenne in those shorts... yum.

Posted: 11/22/07 at 1:43pmI LOVED the arrangement of "Give My Regards To Broadway" with that rock feel. Lea Michele and Jon Groff sounded great on that recording. They're cute as pie.

Posted: 11/22/07 at 1:48pmI thought Legally Blonde did well under the circumstances. They win since their show is being rebroadcast on MTV today. Someone should have mentioned that. The worst part about their performance was the camera work, but it got better with each performance. Young Frankenstein and Mary Poppins came off well, but Xanadu wasn't working for me. I guess they were lip-syncing, right? Kerry seemed to be a word behind the entire time and her wig did look pretty horrendous. The saving grace was Cheyenne though he's looking a little scrawny to me. And if TV really adds ten pounds then he needs a sandwich really bad.
