PQ Castcom: Day before Opening! FOUR new videos up! (Sat 10/28) — Page 3

Awwwwww...I guess she's not above the title. I think when performers are above the title, it is used as a selling point (Christina Applegate in Sweet Charity for example). I guess Stephanie Block is just not well known enough to have above-the-title billing. Hopefully this show will be a hit and benefit her career in the process.

I agree, Ken!

Sydney, it's a stretch but I see why you would say that.

Back on topic:
If you didn't have a chance to sign up on www.piratequeenmusical.com to see the exclusive sneak peek, it's now been put up in the official site's archives (yesterday's LIVE one not there yet).

There is also a place for comments.



Check it out!

Thanks for the link, Popular...

Now, is it my computer or did that latest version cut off in the middle of Hadley Fraser's comments? I don't think there was much more, but he was still speaking when it cut off.

It must be the AOL connection... I'll have to use Mozilla next time.

It was lovely to watch and hear the impressions (so sorry to hear Marcus Chait talk about getting hurt rehearsing one of the fights!). I'm looking forward to seeing more of this.

Pretty funny, but Linda Balgord seems kind of a downer... I know long conversations were probably edited down to these short snippets, but she goes from talking about how difficult the rehearsal periods are and how sterile road houses are... I would call the Cadillac Palace anything but sterile...

Oh well. Interesting video. And she's a pretty amazing performer (saw her in Aspects of Love YEARS ago...)

But, why do they all keep talking about how this is the FIRST TIME SOMETHING LIKE THIS HAS HAPPENED? I seem to recall Lestat doing similar video diaries just a few months ago...

Cheeky monkey!! LOVE that Popular!!!! LOVING Hadley! When he sings, boy, oh boy - my heart melts!!!

I thought these castcoms would be somewhat longer...

Hey guys--this is my first post here!

I was wondering if anyone else had caught the castcom that they put up earlier today... I noticed it wasn't in this thread (and that it was also no longer available to view). It was of Marcus Chait and Linda Balgord talking about one of the "lows" of the day. Just in case you didn't see it, they said that after one of the fight scenes they were practicing, Stephanie J. Block accidentally fell down a trap door, about 10 feet, hit some props that cushioned her fall, and then finally fell into the pit. They said that it was terrifying because the cast is like one huge family, but fortunately, Stephanie was okay and went home to rest.

It certainly startled me! but they said she was okay, so I guess all is well. Marcus Chait said that she would probably be back in the next day. I hope all is well... and I am absolutely loving this castcom, no matter how long or short they are, hehe. :) It's so great to let us in on everything that's happenng!

I did NOT catch that on the official site and I'm certainly glad she's OK IF this is true.

The castcom is a great idea and really makes you feel part of the show and how it evolves! I love it!

I love this! I cannot wait to see more of these, and I especially cant wait till this show lands in NYC!!
I really love the castcom video where they arrive in Chicago, and Stephanie's like to that guy, "What are you doing here?" "I'm in the show!" "So AM I!!!" :P That made me chuckle...

Never mind.

I have to say I find these castcom sessions incredibly boring. I though the idea was to show rehearsals and to give a sneak peak at the show pre-broadway. All castcom is now is an extended MTV confessional-style without any of the drama. I can only hear Frank Galati tell me how amazing the show is going to be so many times. Time to show me some proof.
