Sorry I haven't been here lately, been really busy. My son loved the SF production last weekend. As Meredith pointed out, I guess his choir (about 40 HS students) was really into the show. They sat up in the balcony and audibly enjoyed it. My son was really interested in the obvious improv and script changes that occur. He noticed a line about the principal not showing up to the bee because of a hunting accident, and realized that this news reference happened after I saw the show in NYC. He was impressed that they seem to be constantly rewriting the script to reflect current events. One of his favorite TV shows is Who's Line, so he obviously likes improv.
I agree with you Liotte, that it's wonderful that this show is doing so well, and that more people are going to get to see it in Chicago, Atlanta, SF, and tour. It's exciting that there is room in the theater world for a "little" show like that, and that successful shows don't have to have fireworks, and trapezes, and other sorts of special effects. Long live the Bee!

Posted: 3/29/06 at 6:06pmLizzie, I didn't know you're a Sf gal! You should come with us some weekend! How many times have you seen the SF cast?

Just wondering, what's the most amount of times everyone has seen Spelling Bee (SF, Chicago, or NYC)? I'm up to 7 times here in NY, it'll be 8 or 9 on Saturday.
<-- And to help spread the Bee love, I present my new avatar!

awesome avatar! :)
shamefully, i have only seen this show once. ONCE!!! 
wish i could see it again...
and btw, that thing about the principal in a shooting accident-hilarious!!!!!!!! i also love how they change the script around. like when logainne got out the night i saw it in october, she was like "THAT'S RIDICULOUS! THAT IS ALMOST AS RIDICULOUS AS HARRIETT MYERS RUNNING FOR SUPREME COURT!" or however it went, but it was sooooo funny!
i love this show greatly!
my sis and i always plan if our school did it, who we would play (i'd be leaf coneybear :) )
but yeah, best song is most definitely "i speak six languages"!!!!
:) okay, enough spelling bee thought outbursts...

Actually, Meredith, I believe I was sitting very close to you on Saturday. 
And it's "only" 2. So far.

re: Spelling Bee love!#661
Posted: 3/29/06 at 11:42pmI've seen the SF show 5 times, and Sunday will make it 6.
re: Spelling Bee love!#662
Posted: 3/30/06 at 12:11amI'm not admitting how many times I have seen the show in NYC.
re: Spelling Bee love!#663
Posted: 3/30/06 at 12:16amI'm even going to GUESS at that number, Liotte...I just know that I'll never top your number. I'll probably stop at 15 or 20...or until Celia leaves the show.
re: Spelling Bee love!#664
Posted: 3/30/06 at 12:27am
If you stop at 15 or 20, you'll definitely never catch up or come even close.
I'm sad to not be going this Sunday like I usually do, might have to go Sat night instead this week.
re: Spelling Bee love!#665
Posted: 3/30/06 at 12:42amToo bad you're not going on Saturday afternoon, I'm making my sister see it with me, we could've seen each other again!
re: Spelling Bee love!#666
Posted: 3/30/06 at 12:44amAt the rate we both go, I'm sure I will run into you there sometime soon.
re: Spelling Bee love!#667
Posted: 3/30/06 at 12:46amMost definitely =) I like to think of us as the TOP 2 PEOPLE TO SEE BEE IN NYC...besides the cast, of course haha.
re: Spelling Bee love!#669
Posted: 3/30/06 at 12:51amI know lol...and I'm (hopefully) #2.
re: Spelling Bee love!#670
Posted: 3/30/06 at 1:40amI actually have a few friends who have seen it more than you and don't post (often), sorry!

Thanks for that clip! The Chicago Mitch sounds like James Monroe Ingleart.

Posted: 3/31/06 at 12:45amI noticed that too Lizze! :)
re: Spelling Bee love!#673
Posted: 3/31/06 at 1:02amI would love if the SF or Chicago or Australian casts recorded a cast album, or even just a few songs!

I'd hope they would since David Campbell is one of Sony's wonderboys, but then I'd feel bad for Kane Alexander, and we can't have that (even if he sold out to Il Divo ).
