SO3 - Great Evening!

Posted: 4/18/05 at 12:01am

Congrats to Rob, Craig, Jaime, Eddie Varley & Company for another terrific S03!

Joe's Pub was filled to the brim with talent and enthusiastic fans.

Jennifer Holiday brought down the house at the finale with her signature song, "And I'm Telling You I'm Not Going."

The after party was fun-filled. Many BWW members were there.

Thank You Rob, for a great evening of entertainment, all for the benefit of Broadway Cares/Equity Fights Aids.

I definately had a great time
Jennifer Holliday was incredible, and my personal favorite of the evening, Marty Thomas, did *such* an amazing job!
Thanks Rob, Craig, Jaime, Eddie...!

Wow! Sounds like another great show.

As far as Jennifer is concerned I have one question: original key?

Yep...Robbie rendition of "I Want To Be A Rockette" was extraordinary!

[NativeNewYorker]

Posted: 4/18/05 at 1:29am

There was once a time when I had to tell people about Cheyenne Jackson...

And given the INSANE applause he got tonight...there is no need to do that anymore :)

I must admit, I hadn't even HEARD of a lot of the performers that were up tonight before...but WOW! A lot of talent and great song choices.

Also, must mention the delightful Sara Gettelfinger and the dreamy Gregory Jbara! Loved them and their songs!

It was a true thrill last night, amazing performers, those glorious voices singing such wonderful songs and the loving and giving audience cheering them all on for such a worthy cause, that's what it's all about folks!

BRAVO to all, and Robbiej was indeed sublime.

Let me just add to everyone's congratulations, the evening was so much fun. Tons of great performers and great performances. Marty Thomas is definately my favorite, what a treat for him to perform twice. Judging by the amount of applause he got (equal to, if not more than Cheyenne) I am not the only one who adores him. Somone has got to post a song list soon, I am so bad with this kinda stuff, I didn't even know a lot of the songs. The only ones I can remember:

Kris Cusick & Marty Thomas-As Long as You're Mine (Wicked)
Kerry Butler-On My Own (Les Miserables)
Natascia Diaz-A song that was cut from Sweet Charity (dont remember what it was called
Marty Thomas-The Big Easy (Aida)
Robbie J-I Wanna be a Rocket
Jennifer Holiday-You're Gonna Love Me

I'll post more as I remember. Anyone know what song Kris Cusick and Shoshana Bean sang?

Let's not forget how cute Jamie looked in his kilt! Now, he just needs to work on that Scottish accent!
