I wish Rosie hadn't pulled the three of them out. I love them, and they are the main characters, but I feel that the best thing is that the show is so ensemble based. Pulling the three of them out just takes away from that.

The show has certainly picked up since Rosie. Rosie is a great person. Not only a fair and honest person, but open honest and a great advocate of children. She is Broadway's biggest supporter and for THAT ALONE We should love her. Broadway performers are the hardest working people in show business. She never forgets that. We need more support like hers. For Broadway, for children and beyond!! Going to NY next week for Sring Awakening. Can't wait!!!

I finally saw it! Just amazing. From what I heard this arrangement seemed just a little faster than the usual, but nothing else is different. People were saying that there were different words or something. Maybe I just heard wrong. It was fantastic though. I must add that they all look so tired, especially Jonathan Groff! I would imagine though, with Letterman for the guys & 8 shows a week.

EverythingIsRENT-

I had to be up 4 and on the bus by 5 to get there for the standby line. I had blue flyer #2...what a dissapointment. I watched it on TV when I got home and I thought they did amazing!

Was the staging of it on the VIew similar to the stage staging at all or not?

No, nothing like the staging at the O'Neil.

Phew I was wondering if somehow they got the cast all grouped together for that number but suspected not... Wasn't sure as I knwo Btich of Living did use some of the staging

I felt funny about Rosie pulling the 3 of them out. That must not have felt very nice for the other actors.

yeah but they are the leads??
I'm sure the rest of the cast knows this and doesn't mind

A few comments:
-If you want to see some of the staging of Touch Me, try to catch the Breakfast with the Arts clip.

-Yeah, I don't Groff is going anywhere anytime soon. Matt Cavenaugh was on ATWT and in Grey Gardens at the same time.

-I personally found both performances lackluster. I find more excitement in the cast recording, and I found both songs a great deal more engaging in person and even on the Virgin Megastore video! I'm sure they were very nervous. It is also a very bizarre concept to pair modern music and period costumes. It works well on stage, but it is odd to watch on television.

I agree it was a bit awkward on film. much MUCH better in the theater

8 shows a week and Letterman and THE VIEW?

These kids are all under 24, they better have the energy to do that if they want careers in the Theatre.

Broadway Performers are the hardest working people in the business?

Ever worked on a Soap Opera or TV series?
The hours are much longer and earlier than Broadway.

Yes it is a hard job, but remember backstage workers do hours on day work on the sets, lighting and costumes.

Think before you speak

I think that they did an excellent job today.

Anyone else notice S.S.?

"Anyone else notice S.S.?"

I was surprised that Rosie didn't give him even a brief mention. He looked extremely happy.

Rosie loves performers
not creepy writers.
How many Broadway Directors or Writers has she had as guests?

Not judging just asking, Most people wanna see the performers anyway, and if they are as attractive as John Gallagher... Jr.
I agree.

I competely get what you're saying but I thought she could have at least given him a little shout out. Like..."by the way...this guy behind me with the silly grin...he wrote the show. Now...check out the amazing cast, they are all so talented......"

Why do you say creepy writer though? Am I missing something? I talked to him at the CD signing while the cast was on stage singing and he seemed pretty down to earth and not creepy at all.
