Hehe, I said the same thing. "B.D. Wong!" And I imagine if they thoroughly Vegas-ed the Vegas production, the girls would wear that Lucy Lawless dress in "My Boyfriend's Back." Rockin' bod though.

Profile on Noah Rivera:

He said he doesn't know how long he will be performing in "Wicked," auditioning for various other shows when he can.

He was recently called back for a major production of "Jersey Boys" as Frankie Valli, but was told he was a bit too young.

Boo said Noah is resilient, recognizing that in this profession there are a lot of letdowns.

For those folks in LA, here's a heads up. Taylor will be playing Pesci on the 8/12 evening performance.

And by the way thanks for posting the link to the Help Is On The Way performance.

The redesign is done. Check it out.

Mid-show standing ovation, I'd predict.
And it would probably only involved the guys in the audience.

paikea, report back on how Taylor did as Joey. I've never seen him cover that track.

Just in case anyone is wondering what song melodies they used in the meadly, because it was racking my brain after I watched the clip this morning. Just thought I'd post them. They walk onstage to a part of Walk Like A Man. Then it goes:
1. ???
2. The theme from "The Magnificent Seven"
3. Eye Of The Tiger
4. The River Kwai/Colonel Bogey March
5. Danger Zone
7. Ballad of The Green Beret
8. Theme from "The Good, The Bad & The Ugly"
6. The Shaft Theme
7. Walk Like A Man

My brother and his girlfriend saw the show for the first time Tuesday night and loved it. They had great things to say about Deven, Rick, Erich, and the whole production, but I made sure to ask for the specifics on Steve. They thought he was fantastic. Really, really funny. The four of them fit well together, and since he looks a little bit older, the big-brother vibe comes across.

What they loved about Steve's performance was the dejected, Eeyore-like line delivery he does. He got laughs every time he wanted to start his own group (which Michael didn't really get when I saw him), when he sat down and sighed after his rant about Tommy, etcetera. And he made great faces. They couldn't explain it, so I'll have to see on Sunday. Just a very entertaining performance from him.

Oh, and there was a problem with Brandon's mike during "Ces Soirees-La." The girls' voices were there but no rapping at all. It's too bad, the opening is always a highlight for me (and a bonus to see some of the older couples thinking "Whaaa?" at the rap video unfolding onstage ).

hm, when I went to the Ahmanson, one of the mics weren't working in the second act, and so from the front row, you could hear the phone ringing offstage when francine calls home, but it wasn't miked so no one else could. that was the first time i'd heard the entire argument between frankie valli and mary delgado. chris jones just ended up picking up the phone even though it didn't ring. Also, when the phone rings for the cab to pick up Lorraine when they're breaking up, the phone didn't ring, so Sandra DeNise just said, "My ride's here, I gotta go".

I'm sure technical difficulties happen all the time during the run of any show, but I have to say, I was really impressed with the way the actors did some quick thinking on their feet to make up for it.

The only thing I've heard is that the Las Vegas cast is going to be replacing the SF/Chicago cast after they leave. This was based off what was posted on the equity casting notices. And it's possible since according to Jennifer Namo's blog from a few weeks ago, they were in the final calls for the Vegas production. I have a feeling that the cast is finalized, and everyone has been notified. However, it was posted earlier in the thread that the Vegas cast isn't coming to SF until November. But nothing is confirmed, it's all just things people overheard.
