I just bought tickets for the final SF performance. I had no idea it was closing here so quickly!

I've kind of become attached to the show, warts and all, and dread the upcoming changes. Damn it. I was sure this wouldn't happen. :)

Thank you BroadwayDoc...that's what I was trying to say might be the case. I could see Rupert allowing Orfeh to bow after him though...he seems like a nice guy. I know you love Orfeh and I won't ever deny she is talented, but in this case, it's just a matter of contracts and stuff that had me baffled as to why they changed it.

Not a problem carymetorent2. Everything in an equity production is worked out in the contract before hand. Billing, bows, dressing room, etc.

Either Rupert just gave up his bow to Orfeh or the producers went back to his agent and renegotiated a new deal with him (like he give up his bow and he will get more $ or even something as simple as a designer coming in to do his dressing room). Everything in this business is a negotiation.

That's what I thought. I knew there had to be some reason Rupert (who has one song and not that big a part) was bowing after parts much more central and bigger than his.

At the risk of being repetitious, I can't believe the broadway.com video from opening night isn't up.

This needed a bump.
And I am curious as to how many people on here are going to the first preview?

I will be there the first Saturday.

So who understudies for the dogs? Is there a rotation? Do they publish which dogs are covering which show, and do all the dogs have to be there in case one can't finish the show? Do the dogs come to the stage door? Will the dogs all get to participate on the album?

Inquiring pugs want to know.

Correct me if I'm wrong (I'm not sure about names): There is one main dog that performs at every show, and he has two understudies. They list the main one that plays Bruiser (Chico, I think is the name), but however, the two understudies are not in the UNDERSTUDY list in the Playbill according to scans of the Playbill from another thread awhile ago...

I think that the understudies should be listed in the UNDERSTUDIES section of the Playbill.

It is the same with the other dog character in the show, except he only has one understudy since the role is not very large at all.

First preview... I'm counting on at least trying. Depends on the rush policy, and other factors in ticket availability. But if not that day, then at least sometime in the first week, for sure.

Not the first preview, but I'm hopefully gonna get there at some point during previews., as long as they have rush. If not, it's gonna have to wait until summer.

Hey everybody, just to let you know, the full official site is up now. Its not all the way complete but theres lots of great stuff.

[Freckles1329]

Posted: 3/17/07 at 4:01pm

Yay! Thanks for the info. I'm gonna go check it out.

[theaterdude87]

Posted: 3/17/07 at 4:18pm

It is such a great site. I cannot wait for them to add more things to it!!!!

[TWSFan4Ever]

Posted: 3/17/07 at 7:42pm

Wow, that is a fantastic site

Question though, in the cast list they have Serena, but then for Margot and Pilar there's a "/" and it also says those actresses also are in the Ensemble, are they? I just think that's weird that those two would be and Serena not.

Someone clarify please?

[TWSFan4Ever]

Posted: 3/18/07 at 7:40am

Anybody know?

Posted: 3/18/07 at 10:56am

TWS Fan, your'e back!

Anyways, I'm joining the love!

[TWSFan4Ever]

Posted: 3/18/07 at 12:51pm

I've had so much homework and stupid school newspaper and that. But yes, I'm back

Anybody know if Margot/Pilar are in the Ensemble? I recently looked and they have Enid by herself...but that actress is in Ensemble, too...

[HumATune]

Posted: 3/18/07 at 2:47pm

Methinks the cast list is a bit screwed up. They have some of the understudies listed, but not others. And I wonder if there's a Enid understudy? It seems like it's a large enough role for an understudy and not a swing.

[TWSFan4Ever]

Posted: 3/18/07 at 2:51pm

Hm...they need to fix some things. Are there understudies for Serena and Margot? I saw one for Pilar but not for them...they got some fixing up to do...

I'm curious, is the celtic sounding song played during "Ireland" part of the score or an actual song from "Celtic Moods" ????

It's the bit that plays when she plays her cd "that she bought for the store"

Anyone know?

[JumpJumpJumpSoHigh]

Posted: 3/19/07 at 4:01am

It's part of the score -- the joke being that there are SO MANY CD's out there called "Celtic Moods," (Believe me, I work in a music store, and St. Patty's day just passed....), and that generic-Celtic sort of melody that plays in the background could really come from any of them. :)

[BroomstickBoy]

Posted: 3/20/07 at 1:27am

Yeah, I figured that. Of course, I've seen the show and there's a copy of a "Celtic Moods" cd, that was the "celtic companion" for the Pure Moods cd series.
