Rumored SIDE SHOW revival for next season — Page 2

"Who Will Love Me As I Am?" and "Tunnel of Love" were my favorite numbers in that production. "Tunnel of Love" was so trippy, with the four on that boat ride, suspender in midair over the stage.

As long as the Hilton sisters aren't played by Paris and Nicky, I'm good.

I thought the whole show was incredible, minus I Will Never Leave You, which I just thought was too obvious a sentiment to end the show on.

Why PMs just turn off? That happened to me just today?

Ourtime, I know what you mean about "I Will Never Leave You." I always thought a reprise of "I Will Never Leave You" would have been better, but it doesn't kill the show for me.

Oh, I know, Miss P.

By the way, I read two wildly disparate reviews of the tour of Ted Neely is [still] Jesus Christ Superstar.

Did anyone see Lauren Kennedy in it? I remember that Emily was rumored to be out a lot. I wish we'd had BWW then!

"This Buddy guy's trying to get his hand down my pants and I got this Daisy broad stuck to me day and night!"

Did anyone see Lauren Kennedy in it? I remember that Emily was rumored to be out a lot.

Is it a rumor that when Emily was out (or Alice too for that matter), both understudies would go on or is that actual fact?
So if not an Emily/Alice Broadway reunion, who would you guys cast as the Hilton sisters?

Leslie Kritzer is one.

Thanks for letting me know, guys. I thought that'd be a little odd and unfair to whoever actress did NOT miss the show but I did read that either here or ATC, and since they had the joint nod and the roles seemed so dependent on each other I thought it might be true.
I did check on IBDB.com and it says that Kennedy replaced Skinner during the latter's sick leave. I didn't know that either.

Phyllis- oh. my god. Who can forget .."The Tunnel of Love" ..I call it the roller coaster song bec. they were singing it while in the roller coaster and I love the idea they got seperated (in their minds) in the coaters...

I love Norm Lewis as the Cannibal King..I think my favorite part was the song "Who Will Love Me as I am" - End of Act 1- when the twins was singing and later joined by all the freaks sneaking in and coming from the side...belting out....Who will Love Me as I am!!!

I remember when heard the idea of Wicked-the musical... I told myself...oh Side Show... but Side Show was numbers blend perfectly to the theme of the "freaks"
Act 1 has two sub-act- The Midway & The Vaudeville...while Act 2 are The Follies (love the costumes) & the Texas Centennial -which is the finale.

Ohhh.. I remember that year was a great year for Musical like 2004... Side Show, Lion King, Ragtime, Triumph of Love, The Capeman & with the exepton of Scarlett Pimpernell- I saw all the musicals that year....

I did not like Annie Get Your Gun that Much! The guy playing the Indian guy has a nice bod though in the show...

I love Side Show but I would never see this. Alice and Emily would not be in it (been there done that, couldn't convincingly play the twins now) and it would be a watered down version of the glory that was the OBC. You can't recapture that.

Regional productions? Yes, I have seen them. But, no way would I see a Broadway outing.

I am still upset I never got to see it. So many great songs.

I guess it's very unlikely, but it would be amazing.

They should just tie a rope around Britney Spears and Lindsay Lohan, and let them play the girls.

That'll sell tickets! And the promo with "Come Look at the Freaks" would NEVER have more resonance.
