HOW CUTE WAS THAT?????!!! OH MY GOD!!

"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."
--Aristotle

Awesome -- though I'm surprised they muted "tittup."

That should be used as their promotional video for the show or whatever - just do it again with Fogler - not that whoever that was wasn't fine...

Now all the performances have aired on the east coast.

SO between 9-10 was the four nbc productions and wicked on cbs. and at around 11 25 bee on cbs.

so our central people can expect bee in about 30 mins. and for those mountain and pacific there is the breakdown.

I thought that was a horrible choice to show that video I had to keep telling my dad "it's not that bad-this isn't what happens in the show. I think for people who have seen Spelling Bee it was amusing, but that weird clip thing will not draw people to the show. It didn't flow and it didn't give you any idea of what the show was really like. "we like spelling" didn't bother me when I saw the show, but it really irritated me in this video. I do agree with jasonf that this might be useable for some sort of promotion-maybe on the website where people already have an idea of the show

We Like Spelling isn't in the show - how could it have "not bothered you" when you saw it? It's just on the CD and it's the song that they tend to sing for public performaces.

Aw! That was cute. Best part for me was definitely Sarah Saltzberg (sp?)... especially on the treadmill... heh. She's adoreable.

that wasn't Dan? Weird. I guess i wasn't looking that hard at him. Was that the guy that's in the understudy video? He's pretty good. Why wasn't Raul on for Chitty either? Hm.

Todd kind of looked like he had a mop on his head. He needs a better wig.

I loved Celia and Sarah on the treadmill reading.

They could have done better, though.
