I LOVE seeing new actors take on roles, I still crave seeing what new Phantoms look like with the mask and cape, something about the costumes and stepping into established productions and bringing your own "voice" so to speak thrills me....and these new pics are wonderful and AMAZING!

Awesome pictures!! I used to have a big crush on Annette O'Toole when I was a little lad. She is gorgeous!!!!!!!!!!!

no, "Shaiman" never said that. What I (Marc to my friends) said was that it was a premature announcment..he hadn't even been seen by the director, nor should the other actors in the running have to hear that news, EVENTUALLY true or not, from anyone but their agent.

Al, since 98% of your posts are nasty and negative, might I propose you get an icon that better suits your online demeanor?

meeting Isaac Hayes was (as the kids say) awesome..he said such nice things, he really appreciated what I had tried to do musically, and I was (as I think that picture shows) in HEAVEN!!!!

Of course, I had been in heaven a good 2 1/2 hours up to that post show meeting!!

The pictures look terrific! I loved Hairspray with Harvey and Marissa in the Edna and Tracy roles. Best wishes to Michael and Carly. I hope that they keep the Hairspray beat going for awhile. Advance ticket sales still look strong.

I think Michael looks amazing! I think the difference between his look as Edna and Harvey's is that Michael looks a little more...pretty. Not as homely, one might say. Which, of course, since those pictures were taken of Edna's most glamourous moment, he should be expected to look lovely (Harvey did as well!)! I'm curious to how he pulls off the housedress and iron look.

*pardon my internal monologue*
Oh woe is me. Now I'm upset that I'm going to miss it when I'm in NY next weekend. But I said to myself... No Chris, only see shows that you haven't seen already. It's probably for the best... hopefully I'll make it down to 'Hairspray' sometime this year.

Oh well, I'll take a walk past the theatre, and enjoy the ambiance street side.

(In addition to seeing the new principles, I'd like to see what Jeff Martin does as one of the nicest kids in town. He lived across the hall from me in college... I never thought I'd be seeing him on Broadway this soon, and in such a huge hit!)

I would VEHEMENTLY beg to differ about "98% of my posts being nasty and negative", Mr. Shaiman. If I don't coddle this whole notion that anyone who's ever so much as f*arted on a B'way stage isn't the second coming, than I'm some negative, reviled creature? I thought you, of all people, would appreciate the truth now and again. I have the lovely and talented Mandy Gonzales as my icon for the very purpose to show that the "popular" ones aren't necessarily the best singers and/or actors around and it suits me just fine, thank you very much. You always have a problem with me and I find it amusing that someone as successful and wealthy as yourself, would even BOTHER to slum around these seas.

hey Al

can I call you Al?

I LOVE me some truth...enough that I will admit I jumped down your throat too quickly..(can't blame me, what with all your constant kvetching!!)

 re: Photo Op: Hairspray Welcomes New Edna and Tracy - broadway.

ya know, my lover and people who run other theatre sites wonder the same thing about why I enjoy lurking and posting...

I just don't think a place where funny people congregate to revel in all things theatrical is slumming...although Phantom2 can certainly make me question this point of view (that's a JOKE!, oh anonymous one)

and I will go on record as saying Eddie Varley's PM's have actually made me spit up in laughter...but enough about his sex life...

and so, in the spirit of joy I experienced last night to learn once and for all that HAIRSPRAY works even without our late great mother hen in the role (not to mention to get this lovely thread back on track) I apologize!

but wait till you hear what I'm writing for my song at the Benefit!!
