Betsy Wolfe and Erin Davie have done several workshops of the revised SIDE SHOW. Wouldn't be surprised if it was them.

"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe." -John Guare, Landscape of the Body

AC-I hope so! I'd go to DC if they were the ones cast. (They seem quite ideal for the parts.)

Not sure what I think. I used to love Side Show, now I recognize it's not that great. Excited they've revamped it, though.

I know you. I know you. I know you.

I missed this the first time around; most of my friends and the critics opinions kept me away. Am I really missing something special, or is this just one of those cult shows for a very devoted core group?

^^ Jay, IMHO this is one of those cult shows. It's got an okay score, but let's face it: it's all about the performance gimmick of the twins.

I will admit that I am a tough critic, but went into the show without any knowledge of what I would be seeing. It was one of those days at TKTS in Times Square where the performers themselves were out advertising the show and discount tickets were being sold at their own box office. I not only loved the show in terms of the characters, story, mix of choreography and music, but I found the score to be actually memorable days after I had left the theater. There are some beautiful ballads and some surprisingly catchy ensemble numbers as well. I had a hard time understanding what all the fuss was about in terms of it being a failure, but I certainly can't say it's one of the best shows I've ever seen. I truly do look forward to seeing a new vision of the show, and new performers offering a fresh take on the roles. No matter what, I will always love the two power ballads and the fact that I was firmly introduced to both Alice Ripley and Emily Skinner in the show. Oh yeah, did I mention that Norm Lewis was in it and as usual was incredible?
