Broadway Club

[StitchfansJr]

So there's a HP club, Twilight club, and a few other clubs.
At first, I was thinking of a RENT club, but instead why not a broadway club? We can talk about everything broadway. :D
Does this sound like a good idea to anyone else?:banana:

[AmandaSparks730]

YES! YES YES YES!!! I love everything Broadway! So obessed that my friends think I'm a crazy freak but, oh well. :lmao: Broadway Club has my vote! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!!

What are your favorite musicals? Top 5?

1. WICKED! :wizard:
2. RENT! :cool2:
3. Phantom! :love:
4. Legally Blonde! :dance3:
5. Chicago! :angel:

[::Snow_White::]

Sounds great Allison. =)

I'm going to see Wicked on tour sometime this school year. I'm not exactly sure when.
It'll be the first broadway play I'll see.
But I want to see every play.
But,
Phantom of the Opera
and
RENT are at the top of my list.

[StitchfansJr]

RENT is going to be on Broadway in Chicago at around Febuary. None of my friends like RENT, so I don't really know what I'm going to do. It's $60 per ticket on Ticketmaster. My parents hate RENT, even though I got my dad into siniging "What You Owe" sometimes =D

[SplshMtnLvr28]

w00t, j'adore broadway! well, except for the STUPID LOCAL ONE STAGEHAND STRIKE THAT HAS GONE ON LONG ENOUGH AND NEEDS TO END RIGHT NOW.

:):):)

my favorite shows are:

1. rent
2. legally blonde
3. aida
4. hairspray
5. mamma mia!

aaand the tour for rent is going to be here next week, so my friend and i are going to try to rush for front row seats. it's gonna be amazing. :)

:laughing:
I just hate how people say that they hate RENT, but yet they've never even see it, let alone know what it's about. "Oh, it's about people who are trying to pay their rent, how is that exciting?" It's SO much more then that. They just don't understand.
EDIT: I mean..LOOK..at how many times they're gonna be in IL!! D=

i know! only one of my friends likes rent, the rest are like, 'omg, why would you want to see a musical about junkie gay homeless people with aids?'

i just want to smack them!

[marypops!]

i haven't seen many plays (none at Broadway but a few at West End)

but i do know that a radio station i listening to was letting people phone up and ask to own (spiritually) any West End (and probably Broadway) musical. I emailed them (because you could) and i got the Lion King :-D

Some girl at my Drama class said that Lion King was a scary movie/musical.
-.-

[disney100666]

I've seen Wicked and I want to see The Little Mermaid sooo bad!

[SplshMtnLvr28]

Haha. I wish I had someone to go with me to see it.

This is the first time she's seen it on stage, so i'm really excited for her, especially since we're gonna be front row lmao.

the other 3 times i've seen it is with my mom. she said she didn't like it the first time (not because of the material, just because it was confusing) and after we saw on broadway twice this summer she loves it, and she's always singing songs from it. (like today it started snowing for the first time this winter, so all day she's been going 'AND ITS BEGINNING TO SNOW!!!!!!')

and she said that she likes it because anthony rapp (the original broadway mark and mark in the movie) is from joliet, il. lmao. she's really weird

Anthony is from Joliet? =D
My mom hates the scene in RENT the movie where Collins and Angel start randomly singing. I love the dancing in I'll Cover You. I'm still confused...Did Angel die from aids? And..is Angel a guy or a girl in the movie? Cause Mark said "she, I mean he" during I'll Cover You reprise, so I got all confused.. D=
I love Roger. =D

yeah, he is. in his book he talks all about it and how his favorite radio station is WXRT and stuff so i was like heart!!! lmao.

yeah, angel died from aids. angel was born a boy, but she prefers to be called a female (when she's in drag, which is most of the time).

yes, roger is love. how can you not love all that angsty goodness, lmao.

My top 5:
1. Les Miserables
2. Spring Awakening
3. Wicked
4. Rent
5. Aida

[tinkerbelle22]

Yay, Broadway Club! Woooooo! We need to have one of these at my school...

Anyways...I hate the strike. It's stinky. But at least they finally agreed on opening the Grinch for all the little kids!

Let's see. My favorite shows are Wicked (jeez, I lost count of how many times I've seen this at about 6 or so), Rent, Les Miz (I'm in it with my theatre company now! Yay!), and Dirty Rotten Scoundrels.

BTW, has anyone here (who has seen Rent on Broadway) signed the Rent wall? I did. It was right after I saw Adam and Anthony for the last time. I posted a pic of what I wrote on the Show Your Face thread a while ago. My best friend wrote her phone number with an arrow pointing to it that said, "Adam...call me." :)

I really hope you signed the white wall in the alley, and not the front of the theater. The front of theater is not meant to be signed. There's a wall behind the theater that is the real wall, where all the celebrites signed after seeing the show. Lately though, people have started signing the front of the theater. The nederlander is supposed to have a gritty feel to it, hence why there's 'grafitti' on it (it was done by pros though when it opened in 96), but not the trashy feel that the signing of the front of it has done to it.

[StitchfansJr]

I want....RENT tickets..now, but they're not on sale... -.-

I signed the one you're supposed to sign, in the alley. I read that they had just cleaned up a bit of the wall in front of the theatre, so I'm like, "Ok, better not sign there!" :)

[StitchfansJr]

Just so you all know, this YouTube person has lots of RENT that she/he (I think this person is a girl...) uploaded. :D http://www.youtube.com/user/XPushingOBorders

[baby<3]

WOOHOO!

I'm in!

My top 5:

1. Guys and Dolls
2. Les Miserables
3. Drowsy Chaperone
4. Oklahoma
5. My Fair Lady

Gotta love the classics!

[StitchfansJr]

I remember seeing Oklahoma, not an actual broadway play, but at my mom's school that she works at.

[SplshMtnLvr28]

Ok, good lol. Yeah, but the people who cleaned it off weren't members of the union, so they got banned from lotto because it was considered vandalism. really weird, i know.

that's so cool you got to sign it! how'd you get back there?

[Princess_Dot]

Broadway is amazing! I looove this club. We should have names.

If we do names I so want to be Wendla....anyways my top 5 are (right now anyway):

(no not all of these are currently on Broadway, but they all were at one point)

1. Grey Gardens
2. Spring Awakening
3. She Loves Me
4. Cabaret
5. Side Show

I also love main-stream shows like Rent and Wicked, and you cant forget the Disney shows. (Though they are like a seperate catagory) Beauty and the Beast was my first Broadway show I ever saw. :hug:

[StitchfansJr]

Yeah, I think names would be a good idea. :D

[ktbutterfly2011]

The performances were amazing today! I loved Legally Blonde and Mary Poppins. My friend was in Mary Poppins, she departed the cast recently though. She was an alternate Jane. It was so funny, one second she was performing as Alice in Wonderland at our little middle school, and the next second she's Jane on Broadway. Crazyness.
Sorry for that random moment right there :)

[AmandaSparks730]

I love Broadway! I'm seeing RENT on January 19! I'm SO excited!

Does anyone else cry when Angel dies in the movie? I start crying from Without You to the end of the movie! It never fails. I only know one of my friends who is (almost) as obessed with RENT as I am.

I was talking to my friend last night.

She said one of the reasons I am crazy is that I "have an obession with Broadway musicals"! :laughing:

SETTLE THE STRIKE NOW!!
I have tix for Chicago on December 1 in NYC. Hope I can still see it!! If not...I'll be realllly sad :sad1:

[TinkerBellsReal3]

That is VERY good news! Please please please settle this strike! I really wanna see Chicago!

But if not, my mom and I are going to the Village! YAY! Like RENT! :goodvibes

[SplshMtnLvr28]

don't die thread!!!

so, i got a video of the last night of the cabaret revival with adam pascal as the emcee... ohemgee, it's hilarious. :rotfl:

Dose Anyone have a fovorite disney cruise line show. Mine would be Twice Charmed. Even though i havent seen it.

[::Snow_White::]

YAY for Broadway performences today on the Macy's parade. :]

Mary Poppins was really good!

I turned on the parade right at the Mary Poppins preformance was going on.
It was great!

[Disney.Ears]

Oooooh! Count me in x1000 :) I love Broadway. I even have a Broadway 42nd Street sign in my room ;)

My top 5 that I've seen:
1.) Wicked
2.) Legally Blonde (on TV LOL)
3.) Mamma Mia
4.) Lion King
5.) Tarzan.

The top 5 I love that I haven't seen:
1.) Chicago
2.) Rent
3.) Cabaret
4.) A Chorus Line
5.) Drowsy Chaparone

The top 5 I want to see:
1.) Mary Poppins
2.) Hairspray
3.) Rent
4.) Chicago
5.) Legally Blonde

This strike is bothering me. My mom has been wanting to check eBay for tickets (that's where we get ours.) for Mary Poppins but she has to wait till it's over. I think the musicals are losing more money by not compromising with the stagehands!

[SplshMtnLvr28]

I turned on the parade right at the Mary Poppins preformance was going on.
It was great!

Yeah, they were great. Poor Legally Blonde was locked out of their theatre, so I heard one of the cast member's mom's stayed up all night making the cheerleader's skirts. :eek:

[Princess_Dot]

Soooo geuss who gets to go to NYC in January...me!

My Mom just agreed to let me and my sister go to NYC to see two shows. We are seeing the Grinch (I am bummed I didn't see it last year because I knew about 6 kids in the show) and Spring Awakening again. :goodvibes

[Master Gracy]

[Disney.Ears]

Right now on MP3 Rocket I'm downloading Your Eyes. =D

Ooooh good song :)

[Princess_Dot]

Speaking of songs...

What is everyone's favorite broadway song?
Right now I loooove "Touch Me" from Spring Awakening.

I also like "Tomorrows Women" from the off broadway version of Grey Gardens.

And of course....I cant forget The Last 5 Years. Goodbye Untill Tomorrow is possibly the best song ever written. Sherie Rene Scott....gosh she is just amazing.

[Maleficent909TL]

Ah! I want to join!

I've only seen Les Miz on Broadway, but it got me hooked. I've seen RENT and Phantom on DVD.

We're going to go see Wicked and the Lion King on Broadway in April. I can't wait! I really want to see Spring Awakening and RENT, though! Actually, I just want to see as many as I can, but Spring Awakening and RENT are at the top of my list.

Our school's doing a Broadway Revue in two weeks, and it's got songs from Wicked, Spring Awakening, and Phantom, and for a finale we're all singing "Seasons of Love" in our various costumes. It's gonna be cool!

[pigletgirl]

Lets see, I've seen Wicked, Mary Poppins, Spring Awakening, Monty Python(?). All were very good.

I haven't seen Enchanted yet.

[Master Gracy]

Haha. Yeah, it probably would. I just thought of something..
A RENT wedding. How awesome would that be?
The colors would be gray and white (since black is usually for funerals)
And..the wedding song..would be I'll Cover You.
And after the wedding everyone could re-create La Vie Boheme.
That would be so cool!

Did anyone hear?

THE STRIKE IS OVER!!!!!!!!!:banana: :banana: :banana:

[SplshMtnLvr28]

Where'd you read this? There's nothing on playbill.com or broadwayworld.com.

[AmandaSparks730]

It was on the New York Post website last nite. My Mom saw it and woke me up. It wasn't on anything this morning so maybe a false article? Sorry for any confusion.

[ktbutterfly2011]

I'm not even on the list!!

Has anyone heard of "The Last 5 Years"? It's like my favoritee!

[Disney.Ears]

It's over?! Thank God <3

[VMK_MagicalLadee]

Wheee. I want to see a Broadway show. I might go to NY for my 16th birthday.

[::Snow_White::]

YAY :woohoo:

[babieemelly]

I'm a little late to the game but I'm so psyched to see a Broadway club!!! I'm a HUGE Broadway fan and always have been. Living in NYC I've seen a good 40 or so Broadway and off-Broadway shows, with my first being Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat with Michael Damien in 1992!!

Some of my favorites have been Rent, Joseph, Beauty and the Beast, Aida, All Shook Up, Footloose, Saturday Night Fever, Fame, Annie, Big, Grease, Bombay Dreams, The King and I, Smokey Joe's Cafe, Annie Get Your Gun, Cabaret (with John Stamos!), Seussical the Musical and Tom Sawyer, to name a few.

The only ones I haven't liked were Cats (too slow and dreary), Rocky Horror (the movie's always been my favorite movie ever and they ruined it with this version), and Movin' Out (I'd rather see Billy Joel live than a bunch of people just interpretive dancing to his music).

I'm SO glad that the strike's over!!! We have tickets to see The Little Mermaid at the end of December and Wicked and Hairspray in January.

Has anyone seen Spring Awakening yet?

[AmandaSparks730]

WHOOT! Looks like I'll be seeing Chicago after all! ONLY 2 DAYS AWAY-SATURDAY!!!!!:woohoo: :woohoo:

[CastawayJ]

I have to waltz :sad: :sad: :sad: :sad: :sad: :sad: :sad: :sad: :sad: :sad:

[Disney.Ears]

Awe you got lucky :D Some didn't..
But thank God it's over, I'm so glad I can start looking on eBay for tix again.

[tinkerbelle22]

I found out this morning. My dad wrote on two pieces of paper in huge letters "STRIKE OVER!" I'm so happy! Now I get to see, as my friends and I dubbed it, the Norbert show! It's tomorrow night, so I can't wait :)

[DisneyGirl421]

Has anyone seen Spring Awakening yet?

I did! OMG it is AMAZING. I saw it three days before the Tony Awards, so all the hype was just getting started.
John Gallagher Jr. and Jonathan Groff are amazingly talented, and such sweethearts as well. I talked with them at the stage door and they were so sweet and nice! Everyone was buzzing about the Tony's, wishing them all good luck and trying to find out what SA was going to be performing. :)

I can't wait to see it again. My sister and I want to get onstage seats. I think that would be awesome.

[StitchfansJr]

I was bored today, so I wrote RENT lyrics on my binder. =D

[tinkerbelle22]

I was bored today, so I wrote RENT lyrics on my binder. =D

I do that all the time! Well, I used to more so in middle school. Now in high school it's like, "ANGELA! What's the answer?!" so I can't really zone out. But I still write Rent lyrics in my notebook when I'm procrastinating from doing my homework ;) Oh, I'm just letting you know in case you didn't see that I want to be Maureen in the club. I don't want to be a pest or anything...just wanna join on in! :)

YAY for the strike being OVER!!!!! :goodvibes

My mommy was looking at Hairspray tickets. Yay!!! :D

[Princess_Dot]

What does everyone think about JRB's new musical 13? It opened in LA last year...and there are rumors it will appear on Broadway next year.

Personally I loooove his music (Last 5 Years...Songs for a New World...how can you NOT love those shows!). The musical seems fresh, without trying too hard. (Preteens singing about the troubles of their lives could get a little redundent)

I am looking foward to seeing this if/when it comes to the east coast.

If you go to Jason Robert Brown's site you can hear clips from the show.

[AmandaSparks730]

Adios, good people!

I am off to NYC to see Chicago! :woohoo:

I shall think of all of you whilest I am there :goodvibes

[SplshMtnLvr28]

Have fun!

I'm seeing Rent tonight, yay!!!:banana: :banana: :banana:

[tinkerbelle22]

Last night I saw Is He Dead? with Norbert Leo Butz in the starring role. It was all I could talk about for weeks, I was so excited! And sure enough, it was absolutely hysterical. Norbert was amazing, like he always is. It's a play about an artist who has to fake his death and dress up like a girl to get famous. Anyway, it was great. Next show on the list: Little Mermaid! (but that one was a surprise, and I found out about it by accident! Oh well, at least I'm going :))

Arn't those surprises the best kind?

I am so jealous you get to see Sherie Rene Scott....have fun!!!

[DisneyGirl421]

omg, I am in LOVE with Last 5 Years. Simply AMAZING. and so sad too. My friend is thinking of putting L5Y on for her senior project, I'm so excited. :)

Has anyone heard of [title of show]? It was an off-Broadway show a few years back, and it's SO good.

[StitchfansJr]

D= That is like so not fair Jessica! (Is it okay for me to call you Jessica?) I want to see RENT, too.

[SplshMtnLvr28]

Yes, Jessica's my name, haha.

I've heard of [title of show]. I've been meaning to buy the soundtrack from iTunes, but I'm a little strapped for cash at the moment. :p

There's a huge snow storm going on right now, so I'm hoping to god they don't cancel Rent!

I was going to rush for the matinee but the line was outside. I'd really like those tickets, but I don't think it's worth getting deathly ill for. :p

LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!!!

I find it so frusterating when people "love broadway" and know nothing about off broadway and even less well known broadway shows.


Speaking of off broadway, I love Altar Boyz, and I was showing a video of Altar Boyz to my friend. Her Mom walked in and got wicked offended. I feel really bad, I personally think the musical is hilarious, but I geuss I can see where it can get offensive.

I like the taboo that goes along with theatre, makes for an interesting show.

[AmandaSparks730]

I'm baaaack! And guess what?
Row BB at our theater means A, B, C....AA, BB, CC, etc.
At the Ambassador? BB = FRONT ROW!
My first show actually ON the Great White Way (not in our theater in the CAPITAL of our small, small state) and I sit in the FRONT ROW!
AHHHHHH!!!!!! :cutie:
Chicago was really, really good! (but will never take the place of WICKED in my heart LOL)
I was being a total Broadwaygeek the whole time like "OH MY GOD IT'S LEGALLY BLONDE!" and "OH MY GOD WICKED!!" etc. My Mom made fun of me :laughing:
I just said "we all have our obessions. Embrace your inner geek... AHH LOOK, IT'S (INSERT NAME OF SHOW HERE)!!" :lmao:
I can't WAIT for January 19! Why? I'm seeing RENT! :woohoo: :thumbsup2

[Cheshire Kitty]

a broadway club sounds cool! I definitely would have settled for a rent club but....
whatever

this thread shall not die:surfweb:

anyone here like Thoroughly Modern Millie? I just discovered the soundtrack :D

[SplshMtnLvr28]

I've heard of it, but haven't actually heard any of the songs.

don't die thread!!!

For my speech communications class we had to give informative speeches, so mine was how Rent reflected Jonathan Larson's (the composer) life. For my intro I played a bit of Seasons of Love... it was amazing. :)

[StitchfansJr]

Cool.
There's no way I can put RENT into a how-to report, right?;)

[SplshMtnLvr28]

Cool.

eh, probably not, unless it's how to rebel against your landlord or start shootimg up smack or something. :p

but i try to find as many ways as possible to incorporate rent into my schoolwork, lmao.

Too bad I can't play the piano or something.. If I could I could play one of the songs.

[tinkerbelle22]

this thread shall not die:surfweb:

anyone here like Thoroughly Modern Millie? I just discovered the soundtrack :D

I was actually in TMM. I was one of the Chinese brothers, expect they switched my gender. So it was two Chinese brothers and one sister. The more I think about it, the dumber that seems to me. Anyhoo, I liked the show a lot before I was in it. Then it got old. And the people I was in it with were like, 12 and 13 (I was the oldest...I was 15). So we all didn't have that much fun. And it was my last show at my old theatre place, and I cried when I left (which I wasn't expecting), so it's hard to listen to Millie music anymore because I just remember crying. Isn't that awful? Sorry for that long explanation ;)

So...I have news! I'm in Les Miz right now, and our Eponine is amazing. We all love her. Anyways, she went for an audition for Spring Awakening, and got a callback. Sure enough, she got in! At least that's what everyone is telling me. My friends said she's ensemble/understudy. I don't know who she's an understudy for, but I have a feeling it's Wendla, because my friend described the role, and it sounded like Wendla. I don't know what she starts, but a bunch of us in my theatre group want to go see it with her in it. Just in case she becomes a big star...her name is Allie. So I just thought that was cool :)

[StitchfansJr]

YAAAAAAY.
I made a RENT quiz:

[baby<3]

this thread shall not die:surfweb:

I was in TMM. It's a wonderful show...but the music got really annoying. But maybe thats because I had to hear it Monday-Thursday, and Saturday for 3-6 hours a day for 4 months straight.

Anyway, it was a fun show to be in and all that jazz but I'm really sick of the music right now.

[SplshMtnLvr28]

Lol, I gather that's based on the movie, right?

When it asked which character loved music I would of thought it'd be Angel since she sings 'Music! Food of love, emotion, mathematics, isolation....'

I made a Rent quiz on Facebook, haha.

Yeah, based on the movie cause I haven't seen it on Broadway yet. If I put guitar it would have been easier. I thought for people who have never seen RENT they'd think question 3 was really tricky. Almost all of them could have been it. XD

[tinkerbelle22]

I love TTM....sounds like a really fun show to do. Sorry you had a lously time Tinkerbelle, Ive had shows that were sad too!!

Ah, no prob. It's life...and it's theatre! I was at a sleepover last night, and a friend who's in Les Miz and I were summing up to all the other people how theater peeps deal with drama and junk. It was a really funny conversation, actually.

So...that had nothing to do with Millie. But anyway :) Um, did I say that I'm seeing Young Frankenstein next Friday? I thought I did. I thought we had tickets for forever ago, but turns out they're for soon. I'm really excited! My mom makes fun of me because the only thing that gets me really psyched when there are commercials or clips of it on TV is Christopher Fitzgerald. He plays Igor, that creepy dude. Aaaaand, he was the original Boq in Wicked, which is why I love him so much. So I'm looking forward to seeing him a lot :thumbsup2

[Princess_Dot]

Im seeing Young Frankenstien...forget when the tickets are for...but its coming up! I think this show will be amazing!!!

[AmandaSparks730]

Has anyone here seen Riverdance or The Producers?

I'm seeing both of them next year...along with...RENT!!

Are those shows good? THANKS!

I haven't seen the shows on stage, but have seen video's of riverdance (it looks ok, but it would probably appeal more to a non irish audience)

The producers is one of my favorite musicals (and movie's) it has great songs, and is very very funny!

Ha, wish I could! I'm just going with my mom, so it's going to be a bit boring. But I'll be sure to give a full report (hopefully with pictures) when I get back!

The sophomore class (thaaaat's me!) is seeing a Broadway show sometime next year :cool1: We picked our top three choices out of a certain list that we would like. Mine were A Chorus Line, Young Frankenstein, and Spelling Bee. No matter what we see though, my grade won't care, our class is the one with 5% of the people who are actually into theater. It's unfortunate :confused3

[Princess_Dot]

Hey guys....Ive been MIA but thats only cuz its tech week (aka hell week) in Christmas Carol. The show opens Friday, and goes through Sunday. And dont you know were supposed to get a Nor'easter Saturday into sunday!! Ah well The show MUST go on!!

Funny story: I was in costume about 30 min prior to curtain last night, then i had my blankee and fuzzy slippers because my dress was COLD. So I started helping one of the kids with their homework...and then I hear FRANTIC calls for me (BELLE BELLE) finalyy I RUN to the stage and I still have my slippers and blankee on...I have never been "undressed" like that so fast haha.

So there I was, dumping Scrooge during the dead of winter...in a park...and I am in a light party dress with no coat, no muff, and no shoes.

:] It will never happen again. hahaha

If anyone is in the MA area and wants to come just PM me for details.

Samantha Brown was on Broadway? Really? I wouldn't have guessed. What was she in?

[tinkerbelle22]

Samantha Brown was on Broadway? Really? I wouldn't have guessed. What was she in?

I had no idea either! I knew Paige Davis from Trading Spaces was in Chicago though, and her husband is the Grinch in "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" on Broadway right now. But I didn't know about Samantha Brown. Cool :cool1:

Soooo. I saw Young Frankenstein Friday night! It was amazing! I must admit, my mom and I liked it better than The Producers. It was just...funnier, and the plot was hysterical. I saw most of the movie beforehand, so I knew what was coming pretty much. But I still loved it. Like I predicted, Christopher Fitzgerald as Igor stole the show. Whenever he was in a scene, it was hilarious. And Megan Mullally (she was Karen in Will and Grace) was fantastic. Her voice was unbelievable. I think she sang notes that weren't even real! Craziness. Anyways, it was a great night. I totally recommend it to all of you guys if you want to see a show :)

I think I told you this, but I might as well say it in a Broadway Club ;) I was in OOTI! I was Mama Euralie. It was such a fun show. The music is amazing, and the whole plot is just beautiful. I loved performing in it :)

I don't think you did tell me that... But anyway, that's awesome! I love OOTI, I would do anything to be in it again. I was a dancer in it... :)

By the way, whenever I hear why we tell the story it makes me want to cry- the last time we performed it I was sobbing my heart out.. :( anyway, it was amazing.

Have you seen Aida? The storyline is very similar to it.

[ktbutterfly2011]

I was Mama Euralie too! OOTI was my FAVORITE show. The people in my cast were amazing. =]]

Why we tell the story is amazing.

And I'm not quite sure how my friend is meeting them... I just know Kristin's like a friend of a friend... I'll ask her.

[Master Gracy]

hmm
is meet me in st. louis on broadway?

[Princess_Dot]

My sister was Audrey (I think that was her name) in OOTI and my best friend the goddes of love (i forget her name sorry!) Yes it was quite a few years ago.

I saw Hairspray at North Shore last year and LOVED it. This is a show that really depends on the energy of the cast.

[tinkerbelle22]

My new broadway ticket obsession is Hairspray. I'm begging my parents for tickets while they have the full cast of people I love!

It was great when I saw it on Broadway. My dad got us backstage to meet Harvey Firestein (the original Edna), so that was fun. He was very nice. I saw it really early in its run, so there was a lot of energy going on, and you could tell the cast was having a good time.

So I offically got my Little Mermaid tickets on Christmas! I'm so excited. It should be great. I actually got so much other Broadway loot as well...it's ridiculous :)

Has anyone ever done the musical The Secret Garden? I am thinking of trying out for the part of Martha and was wondering if it was a fun show to do.

[StitchfansJr]

lol if you go to adampascalmusic.com and look at the photo gallery there are some hilarious pics of him in his old band. they're from like, 1985, lmao.

and i love your icon. <3
=O Really? Thanks, one of my friends made it for me.
Aww! Your icon/siggie is awesome :D
And IT'S ADAM!! *drool*
Thanks. I know, Adam is my favorite RENT character. If I could I wish I could do a reenactment of Another Day. If only there was a person in my school that looked like Adam...

"The Backyardigans


Adam guest stars on the children's show The Backyardigans on Nickelodeon. Broadcast date is Jan. 14th!" :lmao: I have to see that! :lmao: *Marks on calender*

[Disney.Ears]

I saw Hairspray at North Shore last year and LOVED it. This is a show that really depends on the energy of the cast.

That's why I want to see it with this cast (well I wanted to see Alexa Vega..but...). I mean I've loved Ashley Spencer since Grease You're The One That I Want and I've grown up with the other people in the cast. Like Lance Bass and Ashley Parker Angel. Like O-Town and Nsync were my passions growing up LOL.

It was great when I saw it on Broadway. My dad got us backstage to meet Harvey Firestein (the original Edna), so that was fun. He was very nice. I saw it really early in its run, so there was a lot of energy going on, and you could tell the cast was having a good time.

So I offically got my Little Mermaid tickets on Christmas! I'm so excited. It should be great. I actually got so much other Broadway loot as well...it's ridiculous :)

Woah!! Backstage?! That's awesome! I would kill to see Marissa. Oh man, what a girl.

Yay Little Mermaid <3 Haha.

[AmandaSparks730]

I watched Legally Blonde: The Musical this morning. It's been on our DVR since last month! This morning was my 4th time watching it :rotfl:

I'm currently wearing my Broadway Cares t-shirt---I love it!! :lovestruc :love:

I bow to all Broadway actresses/actors.
Especially those leading ladies in WICKED!!
I saw a vid of Megan Hilty's last Popular with Shoshana, and I fell off my chair laughing! Kristen's last show was hilarious, too, saw vids of those. Laura's Popular was hilarious, too. But I still love Megan's! :worship:

Im sure you will. It will be touring again, especially since the B'way show is closing. Also MTI is working on a version to release. It will be like the Les Mis edition that is released. (Some songs were cut, but basically the show stays intact)

That way regional/community theatres in your area can put Rent on. ;)

[tinkerbelle22]

We tried to get tickets to the last Rent show...but the evening was all sold out and the matinée was waaaaay too expensive, so it's a no. My mom was all apologetic, and I'm like, 'Uh mom, Youtube?' Wow, that's terrible (yet good for me ;)), that we can totally assume it'll be on Youtube like, two days after the show! Anyways. Hope you enjoy Rent, AmandaSparks! As for me...I'm seeing Legally Blonde (2nd time) and Little Mermaid next month, very excited. Love those pics of TLM, by the way. Those are really great :)

Lucky ducky! I watched LBTM so many times on my DVR. I can recite almost the whole thing! (Well...some parts, that is!) And thanks! I'll be thinking of everyone here, don't worry.

So excited! My grandpa got me tickets to see WICKED in NYC!! On May 10!! :woohoo:

I really hope so.

[SplshMtnLvr28]

I can't believe Rent is closing. I don't think it's actually hit me yet. But, there's always the tour and (hopefully) revival to look forward to.

And, Idina Menzel has a new album coming out the 29th and Adam Pascal's new album should be coming out soon too, so I'm really looking forward to those. :)

Wicked 3x (we know someone in the cast)

I can't believe it either. I want some sort of RENT sig, but I can't think of anything. I'll be sure to buy Adam Pascal's CD though. Does he have like some non-rockish songs on his CDs? Sorta like his singing voice in One Song Glory or I Should Tell You? I'm just wondering. I forgot to record The Backyardigans. Adam was supposed to be on that. That sucks. =/

10,000 Miles from Civilian is kind of ballad-ish... His first cd Model Prisoner has a lot of those kind of songs, too.

The song Adam sung on the Backyardigans is on Youtube, by the way. Just search 'I'm Not an Egg Anymore'.

Hey homies! I'm back!

[Master Gracy]

oh wow.
Theres a new musical coming out, and its getting its previews right here in Dublin, Ireland before it goes to the west end!
its Sleeping Beauty the Musical (http://www.sleepingbeautythemusical.com/), and the book seems pretty good-
its about a librarian:laughing:

[SplshMtnLvr28]

I'm glad you liked Rent, Amanda!

So, I've had the Spring Awakening album for awhile, and I haven't really listened to it, just a few songs. But I traded someone for a video of it, and OMG! It's amazing! I'm only about 30 minutes into, but omigod, it's so good, haha.

Also, I was looking at the Broadway Cares online store, and found what I want for my birthday, lmao!

And I loooove that snow globe! I got a Broadway Cares ornament for Christmas. My mom and I were looking at the snow globe in a little magazine we got in the mail, but we didn't get it. It'll have to be a b-day present *waits till October* :)

[AmandaSparks730]

Me, either, Princess Dot.

What next? Seriously. Now, I don't mind Legally Blonde being turned into a musical (in fact, after my skeptic over it, I thouroughly enjoyed it!).

But Shrek? Ya gotta be kidding.

They're taking RENT off Broadway...and putting Shrek on.

Where is the justice in this, I ask of you? :mad:

I was just thinking the same thing...I've heard about this for a long time, on and off, and it's really weird. I can see maybe Mulan, or Anastasia, or anything else, but not Shrek. And yeah, I also heard about Sutton as Fiona. Eh. :confused3

[SplshMtnLvr28]

I know. =/

As much as I don't want Rent to close, I think it's time. Even though I was like, hysterical when I heard it was going to close, I think I'd rather have it go out with a bang then slowly putter out. The Nederlander's been less than 50% full lately, even after Adam and Anthony coming back. Ticket sales have shot up because of the closing, which is good. And Jeffery Seller is 100% right in the statement he made on the Rent site, it is comforting to know that Rent is there, even though some of us may be hundreds of miles away from the Neder. And I think some of the Renthead community have kind of calmed down because of Jeffery Seller's comments, since he's been with Rent forever, and Adam Pascal's blog about the closing on his website.

Unfortunately, even though Rent is really cheap to run (minimal costumes, sets, props), it hasn't been making money, and no income=no Rent, sadly.

But Adam is right, we do have the (hopefully) revival to look forward to in years to come, and there's always the tour!

I always thought Anastacia would make a good musical. They could really focus on the history and less on the disney'fied "everything is happy in la la land" story line. :rolleyes1

I never really got this. I sound like an idiot but what tour?

[Maleficent909TL]

There's been a change in the New York plans; some woman told Mom that it was near impossible to get Wicked tickets, so she's decided to go after RENT. But with it closing, do you think we'll be able to get four tickets for the first week of April?

And if not, what do you all recommend seeing? I would say Spring Awakening, but Dad wouldn't be up for it...

And let me just say: Shrek? On Broadway? Wha'?

[::Snow_White::]

It's getting closer to our Wicked trip!!
I'm so excited!
I'm reading the book right now. It's pretty good.

[AmandaSparks730]

Well, the Broadway cast stays in New York and does Rent at the Nederlander Theatre. The Broadway cast is also part of the Actor's Equity Association. The tour cast travels all over the country, and the actors are not Equity.

The show is exactly the same if you see it on Broadway or tour, besides the cast, and a few lyrical changes here and there. (For example, in 'Happy New Year', when Mark sings "You can take the girl outta Hicksville, but you can't take the Hicksville outta the girl" they replaced Hicksville with Jersey because they didn't think people in the rest of America would know where Hicksville is. :p

Are those the only dates and places the tour will be traveling? After the Broadway show is completley over (:sad2: ) will it continue to tour to other locations?

[AbsoluteAwesome1]

Yesterday my grandma and my little cousin went to go see Wicked again. I wanted to go with, but it would have been my fourth time, and my parents didn't want me to miss school... but they brought me back a hoodie and an autographed poster. We always go on backstage tours when we go.

[SplshMtnLvr28]

Yep, the tour is very popular and is selling out everywhere, so I'm sure the tour will continue long after Rent closes on Broadway.

[Icheer560]

This is the best idea since Broadway itself!:love: lol
It may classify me as a dork but for christmas my mom got me the wicked original cast soundtrack and stuffed it down into the toe of my stocking. So it was like stuck so i turned it upside down and started shaking it. It fell out and i when i saw i honestly started crying. Like full out crying I was so happy!!!

RIP Jon Larson! We all miss you so. I'm playing the RENT OBC soundtrack in your honor. You'd be proud, Jon. Did you know that your musical made the number 7 longest-running musical in Broadway history, playing for 12 years? They dedicate each and every performance to you. There was also a movie musical made! You've touched so many hearts with your music, your message, and your story. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!

During the strike this year I had great tickets to A Chorus line for my 16th b-day. They went on strike the day before my show. It was depressing, but I'm still going at some point.

Oh man I like seriously can't wait.

In Math we had to do a stem and leaf plot about anything so I did one with the characters of RENT ages. XD

Nice. XD

Yesterday was my sweet 16 so my friend decorated my locker with tons of Rent pics and made me cupcakes that said 'no day but today' on them. It was amazing, lmao.

This week at my school is spirit week because we have a dance on sat., so everyday has a theme. Today's was twin day, so I was twins with her and we wore our rent shirts. :teeth:

You're lucky. You have friends who like RENT. None of my friends have even seen the movie. They say how it sucks. On the 4th of February I'm still gonna wear my RENT shirt in honor of Jonathan Larson's birthday. I don't think that many people have even heard of RENT. =/ Btw, happy late birthday. XD

Happy (late) Sweet 16!!

WAHH! My birthday is over the summer!!

PROS: No school. Two words: Pool. Party.
CONS: NO SCHOOL!! No decorations, people tend to forget more (I'm not forgiving my friend who missed it!)

I'm seeing WICKED in NYC on May 10!! WHEE!! I was hoping to see Stephanie J. Block, Annaleigh Ashford, and the rest, but they're leaving in April :sad1:

I can't wait until we go see it! :D
