Regis and Kelly Broadway Week — Page 6

i watched the performance this morning having never seen the show, and I'm sad to say I was underwhelmed. Still, I'll get around to seeing it and I'm sure I'll love the production where it was meant to be - on the stage! I just thought the beginning was awkward with DHP's line... and I got the vibe he knew it too with his little smile.

I wish for the Tonys they would start the number with the "The show must go on" beginning part. But I doubt they will. They'll probably start it like they did today, but will still probably be longer.

Today we have 'Company.' Figured I'd bump up the thread so we can share our humble opinions with one another.

Edit for update -- the entire segment of the CURTAINS performance is now on the R & K site. I know the link was posted earlier, but for convenience sake I'm posting it again.

Was anybody else reminded of Kathy and Bobby's scene in the park by KElly's description of Central Park in the morning?

Kelly, you pronounce it like it looks!

Roland Spicer.

I forgot how obnoxious she is.

Is that Mary Mitchell? The pacing is thrown off without his piano playing.

Ok, Kelly the actors didnt play their own instruments in Sweeney until last year...

Wednesday "Company" with Raul Esparza (sorry cant put the acento ! ) singing
"Being Alive" with a piano accompaniment. First and foremost- I will say that I love Raul and a big fan of Sondheim. Raul did an excellent job, even though "without" the whole cast of Company playing various instruments. We knew the reason as to why this is a tone down production, if you wanted to see how glorious is this number.
Go buy a ticket for Company at the Ethel Barymore ! I am dispointed bec. Company is one of the show that did not get a lot of airtime on TV. I would like to see more of Company, but its really clinging on the box office right now.
Like what I said- i wont complain or anyone should not complain neither with this number nor the coming Tonys, but instead lets all buy a ticket to Company and see it. BTW- Kelly Ripa & Teddy McGillis (?) held a Company Playbill =)

So this is a rehearsal of what well going to see on TONYS , huh?-J*

He sounded fine, and the arrangement worked, I think, but why so quick? And the song needs to be done as a whole. Bleh.

I jumped out of the shower really quickly when he came on; there are wet footprints all over my room.

Well, I hope that sold a few tickets.

I'm recording. It doesn't start until 10 here and I'm off to work. By the end of the week, I'll have a whole tape of Regis and Kelly. It's kind of pathetic.

It is scary how much of the tivo will say "Live with Regis and Kelly" ... Not exactly what you want guests to see.

Raul always look good and sounded fine =)

Can't wait for GREY GARDENS tommorrow !!!!!
