There was no official Playbill. It's a long, thin white folded sheet of paper with a black logo at the bottom with the title and credits. I loved the show! Tam was the star.

> Tam was the star.

Someone has a crush on Jason, methinks ...

Tam was very good, but not materially better than Lauren -- or at least not better enough to be worthy of being singled out. I actually thought she was a little stronger, but he had to cover a much broader vocal range -- which he did well; so it evens out.

Don't get me wrong -- they were both great, but i'm not sure Molina deserves the implied negative comparison.

ETA: i've never been this guy before, but: i hope this gets a cast album! (unlikely, i know, but about half the numbers would make my playlist.)

The clips are cute--though I'm not sure about the valley girl inflections on The Girls of Summer--one of my fave early Sondheim songs, though I get that, like apparently singing Bring On the Girls while loading up internet porn (if I got the Ent weekly review right) they are trying to contemporize it which makes sense.

Here's the slightly annoying Ent Weekly review (they gave it a B--the author just seems a bit too pleased to point out how much she knows about Sondheim, but I guess it reflects her readership). http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,20364394_20635399.00.html

I definitely think they should record it if this version is going to replace the other for licensed productions. It can't be that expensive to do it with only two people in the cast.

Does anybody else agree with
David Cote's review, where he said (basicacally) if you're setting the show in NY, you might as well set it in Manhattan, in a lovely apartment? That set was fugly for no reason.

I liked the show, especially Lauren's version of the title song.

But they play the show as young characters in New York. Why would they have an extravagant, expensive apartment?

agreed, eric -- a lovely manhattan apartment would not have made any sense for those two characters. they'd be monica and rachel on "friends" ...

Exactly! Or make them seem like over-priviledged, bored Gossip Girl characters, which I think would make it hard for the audience to have any sympathy for their (very slight) story. (I mean if they're young, attractive and so lonely why not just go out to some expensive club or something). From the photos I've seen of the original Craig Lucas production, I assumed this has always been intended to be set in a slightly run down apartment(s).

There is no Playbill for this show?

Not to sidetrack, but I believe Monica and Rachel were living in a rent controlled apartment belonging to Monica's aunt, and the renter was unaware that Monica's aunt was actually dead and not the one still living in the apartment. Just sayin...

considering the length of their run; did they have understudies for both characters??
