"Whenever I get gloomy with the state of the world, I think about the arrivals gate at Heathrow Airport. General opinion's starting to make out that we live in a world of hatred and greed, but I don't see that. It seems to me that love is everywhere. Often it's not particularly dignified or newsworthy, but it's always there - fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, boyfriends, girlfriends, old friends. When the planes hit the Twin Towers, as far as I know none of the phone calls from the people on board were messages of hate or revenge - they were all messages of love. If you look for it, I've got a sneaky feeling you'll find that love actually is all around."

"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."

Alex is great. He really stood out when I saw the show.

Rosie said "PAUL Giamatti" instead of "Alex" LOL!!

Great performance. This entire show is basically a commercial to get people to go see a Broadway show. God bless Rosie.

WHERE was this performed? The stage of THE VIEW isn't THAT large!

Rosie is a saint for supporting Broadway the way she does. Alex was fantastic and the cast sound rich and full. I wish Norm Lewis could have sung something though.

Oh, the other day it was even funnier that Rosie called Kimberly Locke, "Kimberly Clark"!
Well, they used to advertise Kimberly Clark.

I have NEVER met Cheyenne Jackson. I have never hung out with him in his dressing room, he did not tweet me, he never bought me a beverage, and he mostly certainly didn't tickle me. . .that is all.

It's GORGEOUS!! LaChanze was brilliant in the role and I'm glad America gets to see her rendition once more before the publicity and promos begin for Fantasia.
