Get excited. I am SO happy for Jessica Grové!
Idk, the plot sounds kind of iffy. Then again, it's a bit too soon to judge. What do you guys think?

Posted: 7/10/08 at 10:18amGood for Jessica! I've seen her in the choruses of multiple shows and have also heard solo performances from her and she's really talented. I hope this show isn't the flop I'm thinking it might be...

Posted: 7/10/08 at 10:57amI can't wait to see Bob Cuccioli in this! I also like Jessica. Hopefully it will be great.

Posted: 7/10/08 at 11:13amI have read articles where they say the show has it's eyes on Broadway, but nothing confirming that this show is actually coming to Broadway. So what's the deal?

I tend not to have "bad feelings" about shows because I want everything and everyone to succeed.
That being said I don't have the highest of hopes for this. But the thought of Bob Cuccioli as Lucifer has definitely peaked my interest.

Posted: 7/11/08 at 6:24pmI have a feeling it's going to do as well as Lestat did. Idk why, it just seems like one of those shows :/

Posted: 7/11/08 at 7:09pmGood or bad-This one is coming to Broadway. There is a ton of money behind this show, and the creatives and producers are hell-bent (forgive the pun) on bringing it in.

Posted: 7/11/08 at 8:05pmThe songs they have on myspace are DEADLY!!! and the slow mo fighting might have been thrilling in the 40s but not today!

Posted: 7/11/08 at 8:23pmSorry, even without having heard a note of the score and all the purported aerial effects, Paradise Lost has defied theatricalization (is that a word?). For example, I remember in Chicago in 1976, the Lyric Opera commissioned a new opera by Penderecki (sp?), which was duly performed. It REALLY bombed, lost tons of money and led to the eventual dismissal of then-General Manager, Carol Fox. I say, let's keep our hands off this one. Also, Paradise Lost has been many an undergraduate's living nightmare, so I don't think some people will be rushing to relive the experience.
