greensgreens, I still have that book. I have it packed away right now, but it's definitely a treasured possession of mine.
I thought Anthony Barille was brilliant as Cousin Kevin and am sad, aside from a few movies (especially one hysterical movie I love) I have barely seen anything more from him.
Also, at last years Broadway Flea Market, I heard a rumor that it might be revived for the 2012 season. But since I haven't heard much since, my hopes are lowering.

Christopher Walken. He's done two musicals on Broadway, he's a classically trained dancer and fantabulous actor.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! I thought I was the only one who felt that way.
-I hate Lea Michele with the fire of a thousand suns.
-I am not a fan of Sutton Foster, but I loved her in Anything Goes (and I loved the show).
-I love Million Dollar Quartet and am not ashamed to admit it.
-I hated The Scottsboro Boys. I mean HATED.
-I am not a fan of Norbert Leo Butz; Josh Gad should have won the Tony.
-I don't think Rory O'Malley deserved to be nominated for supporting actor; he just didn't h

West Side Story (movie only, because the revival was awful): Maria's "Don't you touch him!" and then covering Tony with her body. Awful, awful tears.
RENT: Seeing Angel walk off, looking at his friends as they speak during his eulogy.
Hair: Seeing Claude walk out in the crew cut and military garb.
Angels in America: The fight between Louis and Joe, followed by Louis' (paraphrasing) "I'm just going to lie here and bleed."
Million Dollar Quartet: Yes, I know eve

If that's true, it's not a surprise. It's not often that 29-year-olds go into cardiac arrest. Could have been some underlying cause - every now and then you hear about a perfectly healthy young person dying from an undiagnosed heart problem. But drugs will definitely do that to you. Just as tragically. Just an awful situation all around. Thought and condolences to the cast, crew and his family.
Play Dead for 13 year olds? Jun 16
2011, 09:22:10 PM
It's definitely a little creepy and deals with some unsettling subject manner like pedophilia, cannibalism, some talk of sex and brief nudity. There's also a bit of fake blood. So it depends on how mature the 13-year olds are. I'd say maybe 16 and older is good.

As someone who is named "Adrienne," and yes, named after Talia Shire's character (even though hers is spelled the masculine way).... I beg. No. Please no.

I'm gonna get smashed for this, I'm sure, but The Black Parade > American Idiot (my very strong opinion.) Would pay good $$$ to see that (done well) on Broadway.
That said.... I always thought PatD were very theatrical. But this is a "new" PatD, with only two of the original members. Am curious though....
And I don't mean to be snarky, but if you had time to post this, you had time to pop on Goolge and find out the info yourself. Took me all of 2 seconds.
Jared Mason will succeed Levi Kreis in MDQ Feb 15

Has that been confirmed though? I heard the same thing, but there hasn't been any word about it one way or another. I'd absolutely love that, though.

He's excellent as Jerry Lee. A wonderful replacement for Levi. They don't mention who's going to be taking over for Carl Perkins yet, though.
Also? A windowcard from Elling. I collect the cards and they didn't have them yet when I went to one of the previews of the show. My BFF went to the final show (We both loved it and thought it closed way to early). She was gonna pick up a card for me, but told me the sold out. Then, for Christmas, she shows up with the windowcard signed by the whole cast. Sneaky bitch. Bestest friend ever.
Angels in American Stair seating? Jan 22
2011, 05:37:56 PM
This may be a stupid question, but do you have to wait for people in the cancellation line to do their thing before you buy stair seating, or can you just walk up to the window anytime to get stair seating?
