Interview about demise of Wonderland on Broadway
Jul 7
2011, 04:11:52 PM
Having seen well over 60 Broadway shows over a period of nearly 20 years, I can safely say (this time without bias) that I've seen far worse shows than WONDERLAND.
"Honestly, to state that the simply terrible Wonderland died because of a cabal of evil critics is naive to the point of foolishness. And to pretend that running in the summer rather than any other time of year would have helped is just self-deception. There are herds of tourists here at every time of year, not just in summ

Interview about demise of Wonderland on Broadway

I'm going to speak as someone who is incredibly biased here, being the biggest fan this show will ever have.
I think the article by Fleming was somewhat tweaked to make Lisi appear as a monster. I doubt she meant to be negative about Dacal and Ritchie's relationship, especially since (as it's been pointed out here) basically began in a recording studio way before rehearsals even started.
At any rate, I think some of those Tampa Bay-area investors are to blame for the sudden cl

WONDERLAND: The Lovers Only Thread!
Mar 30
2011, 10:11:52 AM
Re: Song from the Concept Recording that are no longer in the show:
Don't forget the Mad Hatter's second act number, "Nick of Time". Add that to "Love Begins", "Don't Wanna Fall In Love", "Misunderstood", and the never-been-in-a-staged-version-of-the-show "Keep On Dancin'" and "I Give You the Queen of Hearts".
And, of course, every other number has changed lyrics - with the exception of "One Knight", which has barely changed at all (except for the orchestration).

WONDERLAND: The Lovers Only Thread!
Mar 28
2011, 09:22:11 AM
Patash, no reason to be sorry! My experience online has led me to believe that it's easy to misinterpret/misunderstand things in an online setting. No worries.
The concept of "Lovers Only" was meant to be funny. Obviously, there are people out there who don't share my love for this show, and that's fine by me - everyone is entitled to her or his own opinion, and I respect the rainbow of opinions that is this message board. I just wanted to root for the underdog and create a thread w

WONDERLAND: The Lovers Only Thread!
Mar 27
2011, 07:28:03 PM
Patash, I in no way intended to make this a thread that requires people to like WONDERLAND...I merely wanted to provide this board with an alternative way of thinking about the show. It seems a lot of folks are very anti-WONDERLAND and I wanted there to be a special place to share the love for the show. I'm all about different opinions - that's what makes the world go 'round, right? Anyway, I'm so happy there are so many people who love this show.
On another note, it's great to see s

WONDERLAND: The Lovers Only Thread!

2011, 09:27:46 AM
Dear Lovers of Musical Theatre,
I decided not to read all of the spiteful things about one of my new loves - namely, WONDERLAND - on this often fabulous message board. But I have decided to go ahead and create a Lovers Only Thread so that those of us who actually love and care for the show, its creators, its cast, and its crew can spread a little love.
I had the pleasure of seeing the show in its primary stages at the Straz Center in Tampa, FL, in December 2009 after having be

Well, the subject line says it all! I was hoping to see the show tomorrow and wanted to know what the student rush is like...is it crazy? Is it dead? Please help me out!
Thanks so much, dedicated Broadway fans - and HAPPIEST OF HOLIDAYS to you all!!!

re: She-Ra: Princess of Power - The New Wave Musical Adventure

We definitely have considered "I Have the Power" as well as the She-Ra theme music (from the opening sequence). It all depends, but we shall see soon enough.
Glimmer and Swift Wind/Spirit will definitely be characters. Also expect Bow, Kowl, Madame Razz, Hordak, Catra, Shadow Weaver, Mantenna, and others.
Evil-Lyn is a He-Man character, but she does bear a striking resembling to LuPone. Perhaps a guest appearance is in order.

She-Ra: Princess of Power - The New Wave Musical Adventure
Oct 8
2009, 07:55:49 PM
Dearest ladies and gentlemen of the theatre community:
I just wanted to take a moment to let you all know that work has begun on a new musical based on the 1980s animated TV show SHE-RA: PRINCESS OF POWER...sounds crazy, no? Well, it's going to use new wave music from the '80s and promises to be all camp! The creators will be revealing some of the new wave songs in the show and a glimpse into the storyline very soon!
[WARNING: Those born after 1989 may or may not have any clue who She-Ra or what new wave music are...but this show is sure to be fun for you guys anyway!]
If you love SHE-RA, '80s new wave music, and campy musicals, be sure to become a Facebook fan of the show:http://www.facebook.com/pages/She-Ra-Princess-of-Power-The-New-Wave-Musical-Adventure/175273946347?ref=mf
Thanks for your time and we hope to see you around Facebook (for now)!

re: Wicked at Bryant Park

It's fun to see the cast perform, especially during the soundcheck. And the intense makeout sessions between Dee and Kevin this year were pretty fun.
And the only standby was Laura Woyasz; neither Dee Roscioli not Kevin Kern are standbys/understudies.
I personally think the Bryant Park concerts are fun and I get to see performances from a lot of shows I might not ordinarily want to see. If it weren't for Bryant Park, I probably wouldn't have seen AIDA, AVENUE Q, and several

Kevin isn't THAT old. You'll recall the first New York Fiyero was Norbert Leo Butz, and he certainly looked older. Fiyero doesn't necessarily need to look young...after all, he's a guy who's been kicked out of several schools. Perhaps he's a professional student, so he could be older when he starts at Shiz.
And, for someone who's "old," Kevin is pretty damn sexy.
(Incidentally, I saw the show the night of BROADWAY IN BRYANT PARK and Kevin was out...Jerad Bortz was on and he

I video recorded the entire shows (including soundchecks) from all three weeks thus far, and I plan to record next week. I'm considering putting them on YouTube but, given my computer's occasional flakiness, that may not become a reality.

n2n wasn't canceled; it was switched. WICKED was originally scheduled for August 6 and (I believe due to some n2n cast members' schedules) was switched with n2n. So, WICKED got July 23 and n2n got August 6. I'm interested to see who comes out to perform from n2n. I'm sure Alice won't be there...but it'll be fun to see understudies for sure!!!

Laura Woyasz sang "Popular" in Bryant Park yesterday. She is the Glinda standby in New York.

Now that I've gotten your attention...let me first admit that I hate to "spam" message boards/forums, but I feel BroadwayWorld is a perfect place to find fans of any show, including WICKED.
I wanted to take a brief moment to plug UNLIMITED: The First WICKED Fan Society. It all started with a simple Yahoo! Group before the musical opened on Broadway in 2003...and now, as WICKED continues in its sixth year on Broadway (and, of course, in productions around the world), UNLIMITED is still going strong.
As UNLIMITED: The First WICKED Fan Society continues to grow and expand, please be sure to check out the following links for updates, events, and more WICKED fan doings! Our goal is to use our powers as fans of WICKED to do good in the world, working in the community and helping others along the way. In this sense, UNLIMITED strives to be more than just a fan community; it's aim is to serve others in much the same way Elphaba tries to make good. Please stay tuned to find out how you can contribute your time and talent to causes throughout the world!
And please be sure to pass this information on to all your WICKED friends, young and old. ?Together, we?re UNLIMITED!?

My friends and I got there at 9:00 a.m. and we were the first ones there. I love watching the soundchecks, which are always entertaining (especially this year's AVENUE Q soundcheck!). And, to be sure I get a good spot (right up front, as always) and avoid the teeny boppers (no offense to the good teeny boppers out there) and creepy old people who attend every single free performance in Manhattan (again, no offense to non-creepy old people), I always try to get there by 9:00 or so. Plus, it's

Well, there are a handful of "older" next to normal fans (myself included), but a number of them are those little tweeny and teeny boppers (if you are indeed a tweeny or teeny bopper and are offended by these statements, I apologize). Some times these fangirls and fanboys are decent, but many times they are insane and ridiculous.
Nevertheless, I am extremely excited and will be getting to Bryant Park by 8:30/9:00 a.m. for most of the shows. Some days, it'll be 8:00 a.m. for me! I'm c
