the National Theater has put out audition notices looking for boys to play NOAH in their production of Caroline or Change.
all I can say is: IT'S ABOUT TIME!

Posted: 5/3/06 at 6:26pmI didn't really get into it until this past year, but I really like it. I first I was like "Wicked should have won for best score" - then I heard Avenue Q and thought "no, they should have won" - then I went back to Wicked and thought it should have won, and then I heard Caroline or Change and was blown away. It was so beautiful. I love "I Hate The bus" - so beautiful.

Whoot! Something else for me to spend my money on.... As if I didn't already have enough problems with Wicked, Avenue Q, Evita, Dirty Dancing, Footloose and the Buddy Tour, oh and Rocky Horror in 3 weeks time. Just what I needed. At least I've already seen Seven Brides and Sweeney Todd. It's a good thing I don't want to see Whistle Down the Wind This is not good for my student budget!
In all seriousness though, this sounds like a great idea from the National Theatre. Any clues as to when it'll be opening

yes! when Ave. Q won the tony i was sorta baffled. i mean, I love the show and all- but best score? come on!! in a year with Caroline or Change AND Taboo...
I Hate The Bus is amazing. I also love Emmie and Mr. Stopnick. and well, pretty much EVERYTHING!
i still think there should be a different Tony for lyrics AND music.
avenue q should def. have gotten lyrics.
but Caroline was the most amazing score the season (of any season in a while, i must say)

I had to design the costumes for this show for a school project and we spent a semester analyzing it and its time period and characters, and I have fallen head over heels in love with the show. It is heartfelt, smart, melodic and chock full of very real characters.

Posted: 5/3/06 at 7:54pmI'm sure it will be revived sometime. Probably not soon of course, but its a great "star vehicle" for whoever gets to play Caroline. I wish it would have toured or something. I would die to see a production of this show. It seems like its something best seen live with all the talking moons and dryers and whatnot.

Posted: 5/3/06 at 7:56pmStudio Theatre in DC is presenting this show as well. I'm looking forward to it.

Posted: 5/3/06 at 8:58pmThey have cast the ensemble from what I am told. One of the GSA final years got a part. Very sassy lady who diva sung "Raven" at her showcase.

Posted: 5/3/06 at 9:08pmI think this show could do well in Chicago. Not sure who could put it on. I guess I just wanna see it period. Haha.

Now that Paris Bennett is out of a job...I would love to see her play Emmie to Tonya's Caroline...Their tone of voice is quite similar.

Posted: 5/3/06 at 10:12pmIsn't Julia McGirt playing Caroline? She was a PHENOMENAL Effie in Dreamgirls when I saw it in highschool.
