22 new pictures of the current revival...
Great sneak peek for those who haven't seen it yet or a nice memory for those who have seen and enjoyed it already.

Posted: 3/18/09 at 12:44pmWOW...they look great...but I have never seen a Tony so shirtless in a WSS production before. I swear Arthur cast Matt just so he can use him as much shirtless as possible...you get distracted by his body not his acting or singing...at least I did...hehehe..pictures do look great!

Posted: 3/18/09 at 1:30pmI see that Olivo is continuing to open her mouth as she dances. It was so distracting and so unappealing that I'm surprised no one on the creative team has talked to her about it. Let's see how kind Newsday will be on Thursday.

Posted: 3/18/09 at 6:38pmFunny that Karen is pictured in the same final pose of "America" as the rest of the girls when (from what I've seen on Letterman and the 'tube) it's not how she normally performs it.

Posted: 3/19/09 at 2:18pmIt's a fairly iconic pose and I don't see how else they would place her in the shot...

Darn the sketchy lotto! Blegh!

Posted: 3/19/09 at 2:34pmShe did do that final pose at the first preview, and it was a bit wobbly...I'd prefer that she just practiced it a lot, rather than change the final pose, but I haven't seen the show since February 23. Can others comment?

Posted: 3/19/09 at 2:41pmBy the time the number got to that final pose, I was so disappointed with how badly it had been performed that I don't remember whether she struck the pose or not. If she had, it would hardly have mattered, since she missed so much else of the choreography.
