Couldn't find any other posts about it, so I gues I'll start!
GO SEE NEWSICAL!
Saw it last night and had a hard time breathing I was laughing so hard. Its like SNL Broadway style and the cast is perfect. My favorite moment was when Liza Minnelli sat down to chat with Susan Boyle. Worth the price of admission! The Celine Dion cameo was pretty amazing as well. There were a lot of great little bits in it and all the impressions are freakishly good. The guy who plays all the different presidents at the beginning was amazing, and of course Christine Pedi! Its mostly topical and political stuff (there was already a funny song about the White House crashers) and pretty biting without ever being offensive.
If you liked Forbidden Broadway you will LOVE this. Big fan :)

If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it?

Posted: 12/5/09 at 8:09pmok, fine...i guess i won't post next time i really like something and no one's talking about it. I guess I'll keep my opinions about the gay christmas pageant to myself then. When did telling people you really liked a show mean you're being a schill?

Saw it tonight, and it is indeed very fun! Lots of clever and funny bits. The lyrics are very fresh and funny. Christine Pedi seemed a bit off tonight, but she was still hilarious, so I can imagine she's even more amazing when she's completely on her game. And the Celine Dion cameo was all too funny. Just a lot of fun. The audience seemed to really enjoy it. Those are some hard-working actors on that stage. Support Off-Broadway!
