re: What Tony Categories Will Sweeney Be Nominated In? Feb 5
2006, 12:10:47 PM
First things first, ljay I LOVE your avatar... Best Revival Best Director Best Actress (Patti) Best Actor (Michael) Best Supporting Actress (Donna or Lauren, or both) Best Supporting Actor (Manoel) Best Orchestrations Best Lighting (yeah there wasn't a lot of colors, but the way they used them was amazing) Best Costume Design It's a lock, in my opinion, for Best Revival and Best Director.

"I did ask her and Sondheim if they knew anything — after 25 years of this — about Mr. Lovett. 'He's deceased,' Patti said, almost in character. Yeah, not to nitpick about that, but don't they say so in the show that Mr. Lovett died?

Yay, Drood. jimmirae - What was the Mayor Sapsea dialogue like when he was a lover? They took it out of the version we did at my school (I've seen the original Broadway cast on tape and the version we did was quite different...). And every time you went, you saw Rosa as murderer? At our production, she never got voted and she has the best confession...

re: Academy Awards - Rent and Producers Jan 31

"it will probably lead the pack of nominations at the razzies." Neither Rent nor the Producers got any Razzie nominations. Neither was Oscar-caliber, though neither was total crap in the way that, say, Gigli was.

Into the Woods (both the original and the revival), Sweeney Todd (the original), Company, The Mystery of Edwin Drood, A Chorus Line, Anything Goes...and I saw Les Miz on Broadway but I wish it was still there, same with the Carousel at Lincoln Center and Ragtime

re: Bad audience behavior - revisited Jan 30

My dad, during Forbidden Broadway, started laughing really hard, which elevated into extremely heavy coughing, which turned into him choking. It was loud, and that theater's small. Eek.

Worst. Lyrics. EVER. Jan 29
2006, 12:46:58 PM
Okay, these aren't the worst lyrics ever, and I love Drood, which has a ton of great lyrics, but from "No Good Can Come from Bad": "Ah, but a waistcoat worn Can soon be torn And faggots, too Til maggots feed on you!" This makes the audience snicker because of "faggots" (real mature, guys), but it doesn't even make sense, even in the archaic meaning with the bundle of sticks...

Anything Sondheim, PORTER, Finn, Brown, or LaChiusa...or City of Angels... Chicago, A Chorus Line... and whoever said Drood, thank you (the confessions and "Both Sides of the Coin" are so great!)!

re: Jersey Boys- Love Thread Jan 26
2006, 10:51:35 PM
Oh, and I love it when Daniel goes on a rant about the "old city/country/something" (it's neighborhood, thanks wicked_mimi) toward the end. He's great too. If this gets screwed over for the Tonys because it's a jukebox musical I'll be sad.

Worst. Lyrics. EVER. Jan 26
2006, 10:50:20 PM
They're not the worst lyrics ever, but what comes to mind are the lines in "You'll See Boys" from Rent where it says "boys" about 6 lines in a row...though the NYTW lyrics of Rent are by far the most awful lyrics I have ever heard in my life. Love Rent though. Also, I love T.S. Eliot, but if you didn't know that Cats was based on his poems, you'd probably think that Cats had the most screwed-up lyrics ever...

Jersey Boys was soooo much more than I thought it was going to be...John is obviously incredible, but I agree with whoever said Christian Hoff is too. It was very well-written and acted, and I've never seen an audience react the way they did. Great show.

re: Broadway/Musical songs that make you cry Jan 24
2006, 04:47:27 PM
"Not While I'm Around," Sweeney Todd...though in the revival, it's so creepy (in a good way), so I didn't cry. "Goodbye Until Tomorrow/I Could Never Rescue You," The Last Five Years. God, Norbert. Stop being so damn good. "Being Alive," Company...Sondheim just has a way of illustrating the human condition. I sob hysterically through all of Les Miz and Light in the Piazza, and kind of the whole second act of Rent. If the performer's crying, I generally start c

I saw Miss Saigon there. It was excellent, except for the fact that Kim was quite obviously not Asian. One of my friends was in a production there recently, and while I wasn't able to see it, a few other people did and said it was great. But yeah, the food is pretty awful.

re: Sutton as Eponine.. Dec 30
2005, 01:03:56 AM
Sutton was much better as Eponine...Diana was way too cutesy, though her voice was amazing. Sutton's my favorite Eponine besides Sarah Uriarte-Berry.
