She's got such a pretty voice. They seem to love her at the Hollywood Bowl. She was in MFL and Camelot, too.

This was an easy call. Errico was supposed to star in the Broadway revival of the show, but ended up doing HIGH SOCIETY instead.

She was brilliant in "High Society." She was absolutely wonderful! I'm so glad that there was a cast recording cd of the show. I loved it. Still can't understand why so many people didn't like it.

That's quite a line-up! Very excited about Rachel York, David Larsen and Marni Nixon, in addition to Melissa Errico. John Schneider's an interesting choice for the Captain - he wouldn't have popped into my head as a candidate, but I can see it.
If anyone on the left coast catches this, please post your reviews.

Wasn't Andrea Bowen Marta in the revival? That's cool that she is Leisl now. I love her on DH.

I was just going to say... I saw Andrea Bowen in the revival, as one of the younger kids. I thought that was kind of funny.
A work of art is an invitation to love.

yeah, that is really cool they have Andrea Bowen as Liesl now.

Is this the original or the revised version which changed the order of some songs to mirror the film?

I think they will probably do the script of the recent Broadway revival which had the children performing "My Favorite Things" etc. It is the Hollywood Bowl after all. I actually think Im going to be in L.A. when this is running so it would be fun to catch

Yes, I'd heard John Schneider was going to star in this. Lucky, LUCKY Melissa. I do wish I could see it. Anyone who's going, please give us detailed reports!

I'm glad to hear about this. Wish I were on the West Coast. Does anyone besides me think Errico's greatest performance to date was in One Touch of Venus at the City Center? One of the greatest performances I've ever seen by a relatively unknown performer. It's a crying shame that the production wasn't recorded.
#24
Posted: 7/20/06 at 9:57pm
so is this just a concert of the music or a full out production?

Marni Nixon? Yuck. She once had a great voice but she was awful in NINE. Too bad "Climb Ev'ry Mountain" will be butchered...
