saw the OBC in LA last night Logainne's rant was on the flyer with TB and Lindsay Lohan crowd seemed to enjoy the bee, I don't view LA as much of a theater crowd. Some old people were leaving around 3/4 of it...maybe too long for them?

Lion King- I thought people wouldn't come thinking it was just a rehash of the movie or a glorified theme park show The Producers- sort of the same, I also thought people would grow tired of Nathan Lane's schtick post-Birdcage

if you stay downtown, that knocks 2/3 since you can take the red line to Hollywood/Vine for Wicked but Spelling Bee's going to be your tough one, there's an "express" bus 720 you can take from Wilshire Downtown all the way to the VA

I'm a huge fan of Stew's music, I hope it does well. I'm more worried about the onstage stuff, as that is new to him.

a) the show isn't that good b) Lea's too old, and I think would be unwilling to do Kim (I think it's fine if it's someone else, but don't get your hopes up) just due to schedule and wanting to pu tit behind her c)It hasn't been gone long enough to be missed

Company- "Side by Side by Side." Chorus Line- Medley Les Miz- it would be a crime not to have Lea do "I Dreamed a Dream" just because One Day More's been done at the Tonys. I think they'll do "Bring Him Home/Do You Hear the People Sing" a la The View

SA doesn't beat GG or Curtains, mostly due to subject matter and it's relation to the voter base. I think GG wins. I think Celia may get a nom for Les Miz. But Les Miz is so hot and cold with people, who knows.

Can we do a straight up trade, Rosie for Lea? It would make me TIVO the View every day

"Thing about Wicked is if it ever starts to slump its kinda hard to stunt cast, because the 2 leads are pretty hard to sing" there aren't many shows on Broadway like Wicked, a show that has two female leads with large meaty parts, which makes it very appealing, or at least tempting. Lea Salonga was practically begging in her 2005 Carnegie Hall concert to be in Wicked. That alone would spike ticket sales for a good 6 months.

Anyone see Stew at Joe's Pub? Apr 19

He of "Passing Strange" fame, which is taking over at the Public Theater in NY on May 1st Wanted to know what NY'ers thought, since LA's had him for years

re: Gina Glocksen - 'Broadway, call me.' Apr 6

I seem to recall Lea Salonga doing the same thing on her tour and Carnegie Hall concert, but it was a little more subtle If a Tony winner didn't get the call I doubt they're going to give Gina a ring unless it's for TourCo

I'm not sure if Will Rogers Follies beating Miss Saigon in 1991 was the upset, or if Lea Salonga beating Dee Hoty and Cathy Rigby was the upset.
