I agree (with funnywatson), the new setting takes a bit out of it, in my opinion. Esp. in the Life Cafe, I mean why use a replica when you could use the real thing...?

Because you cant get a large film crew inside the tiny little restaraunt that is the life cafe.

That's true, but it's not just that, its the idea of changing the place where it films, and "the city is another character in the story" I dunno, maybe I will feel differently when it comes out? ...
Actually...it's more that I really would like to see them filming when I go there than anything else...

Hi all --

I'm writing this from San Diego, where I'm finishing up my run in Little Shop before heading back up to San Fran for more Rent rehearsals.

On my fifth day of rehearsal, I sang through all of my stuff with Adam and the gang so our music supervisor could get it on tape for the record producer to hear. (the record producer, by the way, is Rob Cavallo, who has produced all of Green Day's stuff. This makes me very happy, because their records sound *great.* And yes, there will be a newly released recording.) Then Tracie and I leanred some more Tango choreography. It's feeling good, and hopefully it looks good too.

About the notion of filming in San Fran: it doesn't matter *where* interiors are filmed. Believe me, you might be shocked to learn where some films were made. We will shoot all necessary scenes in NYC. Trust me on this.

Oh, and this might go without saying: anyone who comes to see me in Little Shop or any show, please say hello afterwards. It's always nice to put a face to a name.

Take care --

Anthony

Thanks again, Anthony. Break a leg with the rest of LSOH.

I still have to disagree that the movie MUST be filmed in NYC. The argument is working under the assumption that the movie would be filmed on location, should it be filmed in NYC, which would have likely not been the case. It's very expensive to film on location, especially in NYC, and particularly for a film of this nature (with the lip-syncing, the choreography, the style, etc.), time and budget constraints would make filming on location prohibitive, not to mention each day would have to be rushed to meet these limitations and we wouldn't get he perfection we expect.

There's really no difference whether the interiors of the film are shot on a sound stage on Treasure Island or a sound stage in Queens. Either way, it's going to look and feel the same.

Now, if the major exteriors were to be filmed in SF, and if I see the Golden Gate Bridge in the background, that would be a different story. But I think we should relax about having the interiors shot at an SF studio. It's all going to look the same.

Thanks for another update (yes, I will thank after every one!)!

Everything sounds smooth, which is loverly.

And I completely agree/know that it doesn't matter where the heck interiors are filmed. Two summers ago I shot exteriors in the hall of my highschool, where the film was taking place, and edited it to smoothly cut with someone entering an "office". The thing was that the exterior hallway was really in the highschool, while the "office" was part of a dorm room on university campus made up to look like a principal's office.

Many, many, many films are filmed in places you'd never ever guess. Ever.

Too bad I won't be able to go see LSoH this weekend, it's all about location and I'm on the east coast and unless my parents have this incredible surprise up their sleeves and will let me miss a hockey game or two (it's not like I'd necessarily play anyway, or technically be necessary whether coach'd play me or not)...

Ah well, looked like I was gonna go for about four days.

C'est la vie. You can't do everything you want to all at once, somethings work out, somethings don't. This didn't. Too bad. Gotta keep going...

I am kindasorta thinking of putting a small pic of me as my avatar or something-- can anyone pm me and tell me how to shrink down jpg's to do this? (I'm pretty computer illiterate, comparitively).

Thanks again for the update!
Have fun with the last shows of LSoH and with rehearsals!

Good luck, Anthony and co.

And I entirely agree about interiors- you absolutely can not tell a difference. Watch Alias sometime- in three seasons I believe they've shot on location once, but you would NEVER guess that it really isn't in Tapei, Madagascar, Spain, ect. Trust the set dressers, folks.

Anthony, how would you compare the sound of the cast this time around to the OBC? You've got two new members and your voices have all probably matured over eight years and you've got new recording people and musicians.
