I'm sorry to say that I didn't really enjoy it. I look forward to it at the Tonys.

Raul did a lovely job, even though I had to sit through 40 minutes of Kelly first. I didn't thing his name would pose such a problem, but I suppose one can't give Kelly too much credit. It threw me that the song went so fast (and so short!), but I'm very glad he got the exposure and gave a much-deserved shout-out to Mary-Mitchell Campbell.

definitely - esp since they arent using her arrangement at the Tonys...

My problem with Kelly is that I honestly think the dumb blonde thing is an act. Why try that hard to be so stupid? Ugh. I almost fell off my bed when she asked him how it feels to make that kind of sound, or something.

If this ever shows up online, could someone please post a link? Thanks.

I loved the performance and feel really dumb because I didn't even notice a difference in arrangement but then again it's early. I thought he sounded wonderful and was happy that they didn't do it in the context of the show and that it was just him standing and singing. Sunday will be specail now. It would have been a bit weird seeing Raul rip his heart out and seeing the big Joey Lawerence poster in the background. Oh yeah and I also don't know how much more Rippa I can stand but I gotta say I loved Ted as the guest host (although who isn't pumped for some NPH tommorow) and his man crush on Raul lol.

That was the typical solo version of the song. When singers sing it for a concert or something, that's the typical arrangement. The piano part just sounded like the regular Sondheim piano part.

The difference is that it was JUST piano, whereas by that point on stage, he'd be backed by the entire ensemble. I didn't have a problem with the arrangement, just the tempo.

When Ted went to hug him, Raul looked as though he was like "......."

Yeah but it's just going to be with a piano on the Tonys too right?

[gustof777]

Posted: 6/6/07 at 12:35pm

I don't think so. I don't know why they wouldn't have everyone there.

They're not playing with him at the Tonys.

Riedel announced weeks ago that none of the cast members would perform with him. But I never checked up on it - to see if it was still true.

What is Grey Gardens going to do?

[wonderfulwizard11]

Posted: 6/6/07 at 12:41pm

Peas in a Pod.

It's great they'll be featuring Erin Davie. Too bad they can't feature Mary Louise though, the other nominee. But the Ebersole's material with Wilson would not be good for a morning talk show.

[unckristen]

Posted: 6/6/07 at 1:21pm

Peas in a Pod should play well that early in the morning. It's easy to stage (as would most of Grey Gardens). It's peppy and fun. We'll get to see Erin (yeah!) and promote the Broadway cast cd. And, it'll be a nice book-end for seeing Christine as Little Edie on Sunday.

Does anyone know what the Grey Gardens feature on the Today Show on Thursday is supposed to be? Someone mentioned it earlier in the week but I'm not sure what it is. I don't think it's a performance.

yeah, im also really glad that GREY GARDENS is doing "Peas in a Pod". Erin hasn't gotten much publicity for this show, so it'll be nice for both her and Christine to perform tomorrow morning! And its a light and fun song, so it should make people...happy in the morning :)

And I just watched the CURTAINS performance, and thought it came off well, except for a few weird camera angles. But that isnt the cast's fault, haha

I slept in and missed Raul. I already have Grey Gardens set to tape tomorrow though :)

I'll see it when I get home - on TIVO. I'm hoping the use the full cast at the Tonys. Go Raul!

That just got me quite excited to see the show June 27th!

When did Regis become black?

[Unknown User]

Posted: 6/6/07 at 4:49pm

Umm the cohost today was Ted her old sitcom star--he's anythign but black...

I do think Kelly ups the dumb blonde shtick--but I knew her ever since I was 11 (and she had a goth wig!) when she premiered on All My Children and her character there was smart so maybe I'm giving her too much credit and thinking of her character :P

Raul was good but the shortedned version fo the song ruins a lot of its power for me, and his vibrato thing drove me crazy! Was it worse than normal or have all the threads on here about it just caused me to pay it undue attention?

Posted: 6/6/07 at 5:20pm

Hah, probably. It's enough to corrupt anyone. I like his vibrato anyway, but I didn't think it was too overwhelming in this version at all. Perhaps it's just more noticeable when he doesn't have a theater to fill.

Umm on the clips for Curtains and Spring Awakening "Regis" definitely looks black to me!! kthx.
