Shows where the original cast album is NOT the best recording?  Nov 11 2011, 09:55:51 AM
I may be slaughtered for saying this, but I enjoy the 1967 cast of Dolly, led by "Miss Purlie Mae" outshines the 1964 cast led by Dolly Levi... I mean Carol Channing... I always get those two mixed up. lol.

I also agree with the 2008 Revival of Sout Pacific.

Assassins - I'm confused  Nov 4 2011, 11:51:30 PM
My understanding is this- The show was not VASTLY changed from it's original 1990's Off-Broadway production, thus, the Tony Committee called it a Revival... It also happened the year before with Little Shop of Horrors... Though they never made an official Broadway Bow in their original runs, they were presented in generally the same structure. (Other than production values. Costumes, Set Design, Etc...)
Revenge Of The Old Queen?  Oct 31 2011, 12:02:52 PM
Just so I'm perfectly clear, we are speaking of a musicalization of Rocky Balboa... Right?

Strong, Strong scenes  Oct 25 2011, 11:20:44 PM
I don't know much classical theatre. If you are willing to shift to contemporary, the opening scene of Beyond Therapy is a good, strong scene. It's a comedy written by Christopher Durang.
Favorite Roscoe/  Oct 25 2011, 10:42:20 PM
I favor Vahan Khanzadian and the Papermill Cast.
ABC Broadway  Oct 25 2011, 10:18:04 PM
May I suggest a rule? For the more experianced players, character names, lead players and song titles, Theatres played but they all have to be connected to one show... Let me explain...
A- Annie Get Your Gun
B- Bernadette Peters
C- Charlie Davenport
D- Doi'n What Comes Naturally
E- Ethel Merman
F- Frank Butler


etc etc etc...

Pre-Order CD Question - PS Classics  Oct 12 2011, 08:19:35 AM
When I pre-ordered La Cage last year, it was about three or four days after the release date when I received it. (I live on Long Island)
Favorite Finales?  Oct 10 2011, 12:39:18 AM
Sweeney Todd pops into my mind first. La Cage always has a fun finale. I also love the ending of Gypsy. When done right, it gives me chills.

What Kander and Ebb show should be revived?  Jun 3 2011, 06:49:37 PM
IMHO, Kiss of the Spiderwoman & I'd love to see Scottsboro Boys make a triumphant return (After it wins it's Tonys...) Ican dream, can't I?
great performances you have seen  May 29 2011, 10:42:45 AM
Carol Channing in the '95 Revival of Dolly, Glenn Close in Sunset Blvd, Patti LuPone's first preview of Gypsy at the St. James, Matthew Broderick & Nathan Lane in The Producers, opening weekend of John Doyle's Sweeney Todd... Alot more, but these are just a few that stick out in my memory.
The ORIGINAL Wendla  May 28 2011, 05:55:49 PM
I have heard that she was the original Wendla in a workshop, but I have never heard or seen any performance.
