This is honestly such a vast bummer. I haven't loved a musical this much in years - it'll be wonderful for schools and community theatres, but I'm still saddened.

So hurry and catch H2$ before it closes, now starring Justin Bieber and a tape recorder with a hat on it.
So who will play Fanny? Jul 2

I heard it's going to be shared between Marla Mindelle, Natalie Weiss, and a tape recorder with a wig on it.
Besides Hugh Jackman and Paul Bettany who else would you cast in Les Mis the movie? Jul 2

Marion would be lovely. If we're talking French actors, how about Melanie Laurent as a prospect for Eponine? She's a singer and during the cafe scene in Inglourious Basterds, I couldn't stop laughing at how much she looked like she was about to break into On My Own.

I agree that the score in general was pretty middle-of-the-road, but I've always really liked "The Last Real Record Store on Earth."
Just throwing this out there: Jake Gyllenhaal for Enjolras.

The final ten minutes or so of The Pillowman, culminating in (SPOILER ALERT, GUYS) Topolski executing Katurian halfway through his countdown. Startling and chilling. I've always thought that play was about 15 minutes too long, but the ending is completely worth it.

Wicked: A middling show I never honestly want to see again. Not unwatchable, but certainly overrated.
Favorite shows: Sweeney Todd Merrily We Roll Along Little Me

I usually skip "Bobby and Jackie and Jack" when I'm listening to Merrily. It's just so long and so dull and I get that it has its place in the show, but I still just don't like it.

The Intel jingle and the first four notes of the Gypsy overture. I can't be the only one to have noticed this.

newintown: Generally, if there's a line you don't understand in Spring Awakening, it's probably about masturbation.

And I know he's played the role before (Kennedy Center, I think?) but I'd love to see Raul Esparza as Charley in Merrily We Roll Along.

2010, 09:22:50 PM Did people hate her in her Spring Awakening days? Or do they just hate her now because she's a big star? I have always found "theatre people" (whatever that means) to be sort of like that friend that like an obscure indie band until they get popular.
I, for one, thought she was mediocre at best in Spring Awakening. Her entire performance felt like she was using a tennis racket to hit a ping-pong ball, which doesn't quite make sense but you should get the idea. Far too broad, but
