First off I would like to say that this is my first post and I'm proud it's going towards showing my love for Spelling Bee! I would also like to add how Just finished reading all 51 pages of this and... wow.
I have never actually seen the show thanks to the fact that I live in Canada but I do have the cast recording and I love it to no end! One day (soon hopfuly) I plan on going to NYC to see it.
Finally I was extreamly excited when I got the vocal and piano selections for this show. Mainly because I couldn't find it anywhere (w/o ordering it) but finally I found it in a tiny music store on some random street in Vienna. That was a good day that I thought you should all know about.

Lizzie,
Yes, the drunk lady was really something. I wish I could get back to SF to see the show one more time before it closes, but it's not going to happen. Welcome to BWW, Kitten. I remember reading all the pages on this board back in the winter, and it was only about 20 pages then. But this is the best board!
One more thing, I read the word chimerical in a book I was reading a couple of weeks ago. I think that's the first time I've ever read it.

So, the Boston cast has been announced!

Does anyone know which of the standbys will also be going? I assume since Jim Cashman isn't, then Michelle Noh (his wife) isn't, either.

Posted: 8/24/06 at 12:48pmOn my way to Hawaii a couple weeks ago, I had a 4 hour layover in San Fran. If security wasn't such a pain to get through, I would have left the airport to go see the matinee!!

I just bought my tickets for closing night in SF. 
I booked 2nd Row Center!
But I am happy Boston will get to see most of our cast!

I will get up to Boston to see the Bee up there! Then I can see most of the SF crew.
I just got home from the Bee in Chicago, very fun and the cast is still great and full of energy! I heard a new word- astronomers. And Logainne's speech (snakes on a plane) was hysterical.
And James Earl Jones II would like me to say that he is distantly related to THE James Earl Jones :)

Ahh! I just got all excited!! On the news they are talking about how some rodent is on the run and they said "capybara!"
Sorry if that was considered off-topic/threadjacking.

Posted: 8/26/06 at 11:12pmJust back frm New York last wkend. The neices, my sis her husband & i went to the Bee. (2nd time for me) and my bro in law got to be a speller! Made the whole trip for him, he's still telling people about his Broadway "debut". The cast was great and afterwards took pictures w my neice who was just beside herself with excitement. The "rant" was also about "snakes in a plane" very funny. A GOOD time for all!

Posted: 8/27/06 at 12:58amis anyone else here sad about the Celia/Eponine rumors that are swirling about? I would really miss her in the Bee. But maybe she would just take a leave of absence from the Bee since Les Mis. is slated to be a short run? Updated On: 1/18/07 at 12:58 AM

She's been in the Bee since the beginning (I think)- I wouldn't be surprised if she was "ready" to leave...
Of course, she will be missed; I adore her Olive but they must move on at some point.

Posted: 8/27/06 at 1:31amI am sad whenever ANYONE leaves the Bee cast. Next april will be a very sad month for me.
#1268Spelling Bee
Posted: 8/27/06 at 1:55ama bit off topic, but i know those who enjoy this thread would appreciate this. Maurice went on as Leaf on Friday. very exciting and he was very good! Just thought I'd share

Wow! That's awesome, I wish I could have been there to see him!
Hopefully he will do it again. And Kate will be Marcy Park again too. And Lisa Y will be Olive.

Posted: 8/27/06 at 4:27pmFor as many times as I have seen this show(I have lost count), can you believe that I have never seen Todd in the show? I have seen Kate for Olive, Sarah stiles for Logainne, Maurice for Chip and for Mitch, and Lisa Yuen for Marcy twice. Since Panch, Barfee, and Leaf have all had replacements, I have seen other people play those roles but I have never seen anyone play Rona except for Lisa H...not that I am complaining! I would like to see Todd sometime though.

Posted: 8/27/06 at 4:31pmTodd's the only current understudy I haven't seen also. The only regular I never got to see was Jay Reiss. The only three that have been there every time I've gone have been Lisa H., Greg, & Derrick.

liotte -
What is happening next april? Are certain cast members leaving the show?
#1273Spelling Bee
Posted: 8/27/06 at 6:54pm
I've seen all the understudies in all the roles that they play, just missed the ones in which people went on in roles they aren't supposed to do because of emergency covers.
#1274Spelling Bee
Posted: 8/27/06 at 6:55pmDo you know if any cast changes are coming up? Is anyone leaving the show?
