"I admit that I "woo", "whoop", "woot" and holler a lot. But besides my one "woo" right after Kevin Cahoon plays the trumpet (Kevin and I have a moment, you can ask him - I wait a beat, I woo, and he looks at me and says "thank you"... I should've received a Tony for that stuff, man), I usually try to just "woo" a lot after each number or when appropriate."
you SOOOO deserve a tony, Steven
thats the best part of the show when ur in the audience :)

Kevin was fine. He was fine as the drunk brother, but he did good as the bad hair guy.
Luckydave, you should go back just to see Felicia, she is the best!
Felicia is such an amazing performer. I wish she was in more songs. She's fantastic.
I think she leaves you wanting more, so its cool that she sings only 2 songs. But i agree. I wish Amy had more solos too. Matthew has a great voice as well.

Well, that's nice to hear. :) I'd ask for more detail, but.. uh.. I don't really think there's more to say, 'cause it's not like he went on for Robbie or anything. Haha, sigh!
Random . . . didn't feel like making another post for it, but tonight (7/5), I heard that Nicolette was on for Felicia, Kevin was on for Matthew Stocke, Joanne Manning was on for Cara Cooper, and Angelique Ilo was on for Nicolette.
I saw Angelique Ilo on for Christina one time. I missed Christina that night! but Angelique did her best, and her role is not too big anyways.
The performers in this show miss so many performances. The only ones I've heard to not miss a show are Stephen Lynch, Matthew Saldivar, and Kevin Cahoon.
Well, those things happen when you have a large cast, and the good thing about this show in particular is that almost every single cast member gets to act and recite a few lines in this show.

I will be going back the weekend of the 21st to see Cara Cooper as Holly. Hopefully Felicia will be there that weekend, but with my luck, we never know.
How do you know Cara will be in? I've seen Amy all the times i saw the show, she was fantastic everytime except for one time, when her voice was a little weaker than usual, but she still pulled it off. She is such a professional.

That's great, I'd like to see Cara, but im love with Amy though, but it is always good to see different people playing the same role, I got to see Tina Maddigan half the times i saw the show.
Way too many cast members out for a new show
Bravo Cahoon who does outside rock shows and still has a great peformance record.
Boo to those who miss!
Speaking of bad audiences, Oprah Winfrey sat behind me at The Color Purple and she was singing most of the songs, and believe me, she can't sing! The audience of The Wedding Singer was a delight(the 7 times i've seen it) compared to the audience of Wicked, Barefoot, Drowsy or TCP.

Muscle, how do you compare Tina to Laura? I saw Laura, but I really wanted to see Tina.
Most of the ensemble hasn't missed any performances. Amy's been in and out a lot because of her voice. Richard Blake hasn't missed a performance yet either, and Kevin (Kern) is always at the theatre. :p ...Mainly because he ends up going on for people that are out! Still. And the 4th was David Josefsberg's first time out, so. A handful of people have been out periodically, but 90% of the time it's full cast, no u/s. I wouldn't say that's horrible or anything.
Cossette2, Tina has more of a "girl next door thing" to her, and Laura has a more powerful voice. As simple as that, they are both great though and have excellent chemistry with Mr. Lynch.
PS=I said no more replies from fans in that thread you just re-bumped!

Sorry, but I was defending the show!
Haha, what thread? Apparently I'm good at defending shows, so if need-be... :p
