I want to see Lisa Y go on as Rona this week, and Todd as Coneybear next week.

I'm seeing Spelling Bee in 2 1/2 weeks, and I'm really looking foreward to it. Yayyy!
I just felt like adding a litle more love, as Bee has become my most played cast recording lately. I do not cease to be amazed by the cast, and by the music itself.

Oh For God's sake---I'm going into withdrawal
It's time for some more Spelling Bee Love
Bring it on...
If anyone's interested, a bunch of us from CKB Online *http://s14.invisionfree.com/Celia_Keenan_Bolger/index.php?act=idx* will be meeting up on Saturday, February 4th to see the matinee performance (standing room) and show some Celia love! We'd love to see you all there (I'll be with 3 or 4 other girls, we'll all be wearing CKB Online shirts)!!! Anyone interested? Reply here or PM me.
I saw the show tonight. It was great, I was in the lotto seats where the popcorn goes flying all over you. Jose and Dan broke character at one point and it was absolutely hilarious.

he was so creepy. my twelve year old sister was TERRIFED of him...he was...strange. (btw, hey sammie!)
i'll be at the CKB online meetup on the 4th! everyone should come...i'm so psyched.
Fantab, you won!!
Why did they break character?
I really hope to win the lotto there tomorrow night!
we did standing room(right next to leah5290 actually)and came across a very annoying usher, w/curly hair, has anyone else come across him as well?
LG: are you talking about the guy who when directing people to their seats does the whole "you're in row E for excellent, you're in row F for fabulous..." thing? I am always in aisle three it seems, so I've seen him. I actually kinda think he's funny- breaks up the monotony of the usher thing- but I could see how he could be annoying.
This quiz about spelling bee was just created, in case anyone wants to see how well they can do:

thanks Liotte- that was fun! I missed #4- I misremembered that line as "the eighth row on the aisle," and so I couldn't decide which one to pick. :)
Ooh, fun quiz. I missed one 'cause I read the choices wrong. Anyone find it ironic Jose Llana's name is spelled incorrectly?!
fun quiz!!i got 23/25!!missed 21 and 22!!
LOVE FOR SPELLING BEE!!
Anakela,
The CD says 4th row on the aisle, the show says 8th row on the aisle, so it's definitely misleading!
Lotto tonight! I hope I win!

Fun quiz--My Spelling Bee knowledge base is sound--but my math skills remain questionable--
Liotte, I hope you can do standing room if you don't win lottery
Report back. We count on you.
Did we discover why Jose and Dan broke character and what they said?
Good show tonight, though it was very off- I bet I'm the only one besides the cast who could tell. There was SOOO much audience participation, people were calling out throughout the entire show, just comments at inappropriate times, extra laughing and clapping so some of the dialogue was cut off. Plus there was a different piano player/conductor, so the music wasn't as in sync with the lyrics and motions as usual. Still funny though.
Lisa Yuen did a great job as Rona Lisa Peretti, her singing voice was beautiful and her line delivery and comic timing were good. She just looks a bit different than Lisa Howard, so it took me a few songs to get used to the change.
A great night at Bee, looking forward to going back on Tuesday to see Todd as Barfee and Kate as Olive.
20/25 on the quiz....I can live with that for only seeing it once! glad you enjoyed it but can I ask you if there were programs for sale?
This is very disturbing news....the people selling stuff told me that they were at kinkos.....I now feel like they might be lying to me!
I didn't see one, but I wasn't paying that close attention. I'll be back next week and check again then for you.
If you could pm me about it that would be great! I was there for new years week and loved it and wanted a program but was denied and now that I am back out in california...I figured it would be hard to get one from here!
Definitely, I'll let you know if I see programs when I'm there. Considering I'm there about once a week, I will keep my eyes out for them!
Todd and Kate were both great tonight as Coneybear and Olive. I have seen them both before in other roles, so tonight was a fresh experience at the Bee. I sat in the popcorn seats, such a mess!
