Thanks for the video! Amazing show. Still kind of bummed I didn't get to see Alice though.

Alice looks so gorgeous.

^she really does. and her eyes are SO pretty

I can't get over how incredible "I Am" is. Her face is so completely BLANK- it's so heartbreak but such brilliant acting!! And I love Aaron and Brian in that scene too. a lot.

and the fork throwing in You Don't Know. way to be intense, Alice, way to be intense. :)



oh, and Aaron is adorable. Just sayin'.

WOOPS, yes, "I Am The One" :) No idea why I all of a sudden decided to call it "I Am" haha

I'm going tomorrow! I already know what happens from listening to the workshop cast of "Feeling Electric," but am really anxious to see how it plays out on stage. The set looks pretty amazing. And I'm taking someone who has no idea about any of it so I can't wait to see her reaction. And mine too! Just because I know the "twist" and stuff, I'm sure I'll enjoy it just as much. so excited!

snl89- thanks for the link for the wonderful video.

I can't wait to see this show next weekend with Ryan. I wish they show "Feeling Electric" that's one of my favorite song...but I like "Let There Be Light" too.

Damn! Alice Ripley looks good for a 44 yr old.. wow! I wish I can look as good as her when I am her age.

Ryan- Are you excited for next week?

hmm.. I thought it was actually Catch Me I'll Falling back then too! But I totally could be wrong.. *goes to check*

EDIT: ooh, ok, the way it was labeled was "Feeling Strongly Fine- Catch Me I'm Falling"

Looked more than a little cheesy to me. Maybe it was just the music choices.

I DO still have some issues with the very beginning of the show, for the record- particularly some of the lyrics in Just Another Day. I LOVE that song musically, but lyrically it does get a bit cheesey. But the beginning of the show in general is a bit choppy- I wish they would take a little time and smooth it out. Once it gets to the Costco scene the rest of the show from there on out is pretty darn smooth, but I think especially if you aren't familiar with the show at all going in, in the very beginning it CAN start off feeling a bit cheesey and akward.

I do really love Just Another Day musically though :)

I love .. I AM THE ONE too.. so Aaron Tveit sings that song, huh?

I cant freaking wait to see this next weekend..

It has my favorite scene it. "You Don't Know" is staged so well and Alice is so intense. I can't wait to see it again on Sunday.

I noticed that under Alice and Brian's name, it says that they play "Diana Brown" and "Dan Brown" respectively. Have they reverted it back to "Brown" instead of "Goodman"?

I saw it today and it was Goodman....

This video really makes me wish I could see the show again. I really enjoyed seeing it live, and fangirling in front of the writers was totally fine. Right? Right.

Has it changed dramatically from early previews?

[jordangirl]

Posted: 2/21/08 at 5:07am

Definitely Goodman.

gertrudejessalynn ~ It's changed a lot since I started seeing it in previews.

I'm still not 100% sold on "Costco", but I don't hate it anymore. LOL.

Jay I LOVED it!!
