You are feisty this morning!
Which pills did you take to make you so unpleasantly snarky, O habitual condemner of unpleasant snarkiness, you disgustingly obtuse paragon of hypocrisy?

There was also a good -- and lengthy -- discussion about the show here, the second act in particular.

I think the company is called Victoria Opera, and they are doing a production in May next year.

Well I didn't want to get into it, but he's a Satanist.
Every full moon he sacrifices 4 puppies to the Dark Lord and smears their blood on his paino.
This should help you understand the score for Wicked a little bit more.

My dear Pal Joey,
I'm surprised at you.
What else could it be?
But at least now we won't have to plough through a thread list in which every other thread is on the subject.

Posted: 10/5/12 at 10:00amI just saw chicago Shakespeare Theatre's "Sunday" and it was very good. Carmen Cusak was a weak Dot but her Marie was fantastic. Jason Daniely was a B+ George.

Thread jack:
While I love, love, love SUNDAY IN THE PARK WITH GEORGE, something about the origination of this thread brings to mind another one of my favorite works of art, A DELICATE BALANCE, and one of the best exchanges in all of Albee's canon: ( Think Elaine Stritch reading Claire for the proper delight )
Agnes: Claire, why don't you take a vacation?
Claire: Agnes, why don't you die?
Cheyenne Jackson tickled me. AFTER ordering SoMMS a drink but NOT tickling him, and hanging out with Girly in his dressing room (where he DIDN'T tickle her) but BEFORE we got married. To others. And then he tweeted Boobs. He also tweeted he's good friends with some chick on "The Voice" who just happens to be good friends with Tink's ex. And I'm still married. Oh, and this just in: "Pettiness, spite, malice ....Such ugly emotions... So sad." - After Eight, talking about MEEEEEEEE!!! I'm so honored! :-)

I suddenly have the urge to re-watch A Delicate Balance (prob my fave Albee).
I'm also intrigued by the kindness of A8 using the British spelling for plow in an international thread. Kudos!

Why yes. Next Spring Theatre du Chatelet in Paris is presenting it.
I can scan and send you the program when I return, if you wish, After Eight.

Mmmmmmm, yes, but it's directed by a British director (Heaven forfend!) so PJ and A8 may be in agreement on this one.
And Act I is going to be in French.
Or is it Act II?
I don't know. Facts never interest me. What matters is the Field of Stones Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc I'm drinking.

Well, After Eight. I'm so glad you asked. Thank you for your topic.
A well known performing arts college called NIDA (graduates: Cate Blanchett, Mel Gibson, Baz Luhmann, Phillip Quast, Hugo Weaving et al.) are performing SUNDAY IN THE PARK WITH GEORGE next week. I've never seen the show live before, so I am ridiculously excited.

The tagline is pretty funny/strange:
Art and obsession.
Love and commitment.
Because the brief sentences make it sound quite tense.
What are your thoughts about this production After Eight? Will you be making a trip to see it?
"You can't overrate Bernadette Peters. She is such a genius. There's a moment in "Too Many Mornings" and Bernadette doing 'I wore green the last time' - It's a voice that is just already given up - it is so sorrowful. Tragic. You can see from that moment the show is going to be headed into such dark territory and it hinges on this tiny throwaway moment of the voice." - Ben Brantley (2022)
"Bernadette's whole, stunning performance [as Rose in Gypsy] galvanized the actors capable of letting loose with her. Bernadette's Rose did take its rightful place, but too late, and unseen by too many who should have seen it" Arthur Laurents (2009)
"Sondheim's own favorite star performances? [Bernadette] Peters in ''Sunday in the Park,'' Lansbury in ''Sweeney Todd'' and ''obviously, Ethel was thrilling in 'Gypsy.'' Nytimes, 2000

Would that I could, but, alas, I can't. Of course, I'm heartbroken, but you will tell us your thoughts on it, though, won't you? After all, that's what this thread was created for.
#15Sunday in the Park With George Productions World-Wide?
Posted: 10/6/12 at 12:41amOh, I don't mind when pompous-and-pretentious British directors (are there any other kind?) direct American musicals...just so long as the actors perform it in a foreign language.

People you are being PUNKED! After Eight has posted in another thread his thoughts on this show writing "My loss was the time I spent watching this pretentious bore."
I have long suspected that After Eight is deliberately posting negative comments on shows for which others express enthusiasm.
This thread is just his latest attempt to garner attention.
Cast albums are NOT "soundtracks."
Live theatre does not use a "soundtrack." If it did, it wouldn't be live theatre!
I host a weekly one-hour radio program featuring cast album selections as well as songs by cabaret, jazz and theatre artists. The program, FRONT ROW CENTRE is heard Sundays 9 to 10 am and also Saturdays from 8 to 9 am (eastern times) on www.proudfm.com

Posted: 10/6/12 at 4:42pmFrontRow your post is appreciated, but I'm pretty sure every single one of us who posted in here was aware with that and just, umm "playing along"?

Really? That's disappointing. I didn't know Philip Quast even knew After Eight.

This Regional production runs for 3 more weeks in Orlando! It's so beautifully done, I highly recommend it. In a smaller intimate theatre, using the cast as the pawns of the painter to move things in and out. Including the set, which begins as all white, and each actor comes in, one by one and removes a panel with each chord in the beginning, to reveal a beautiful hand painted set. So gorgeous. And the top notch quality of the cast, especially Hannah Laird as Dot, is just amazing. Also, the best second act of the show I've ever seen.
