Thanks for the tip, TM! But first I'm definitely going to check out Wicked while it's still here. I'm curious to see what all the hullabaloo is about after the way you, Mossy, and practically everyone else has raved about it.

Well they just extended the show through April so get 'em while you can. I'm curious to see how Ana Gasteyer is going to do as Elphaba, she got good reviews so....

Are you hinting that if I got tickets you'd like me to get you one too?

Considering you two are the same person, wouldn't it be a waste to get two tickets?

I'm already going to see it again in December

Geez Alatar tell us how you really feel about Mama Mia Although I see your point, but I still love it. All this coming from someone who met his wife during West Side Story

I am soooo looking forward to the movie version of Rent. I don't know much about the story but people in college seemed to love it! Then I saw the preview and fell in love, bought the broadway soundtrack, and can't wait to see the movie (although I haven't really listened to the soundtrack yet ). That and the play is coming to Chi town soon .

Now I saw Chicago (the movie) and then saw the play. I liked both but I think in some ways the movie runied the play for me. I'm a bit worried the same will happen for Rent.

yov. No soup for you!!

For Alatar, Lank is one of my fav. characters!

First time I saw it was a traveling production & the dancing was spectacular! Our local theater did a production a few years ago & it was good, but they'll never top what they did with "Joseph".

SO, I think you'll love Wicked! I was a bit upset when I went to see it because I don't like the book & they seem to be touting it as a family musical & I don't see it that way. I've just fallen in love with the music though! And "I'm not that girl" has special meaning for me.

Aww Cem that's such a sad song

Yeah I was a bit concerned about kids seeing Wicked too (before I saw it) since I'd read the book. The play is more family friendly with the changes they made, but there a themes that are pretty dark for kids to really understand.

The Internet is for porn.

w00t! Ax is an Avenue Q fan!!

TM, Yes it's sad, but it has applied to my life and I love hearing it.

I'd never even heard of Avenue Q until I did a quiz that said that's the musical I would be (were I a musical), so I looked it up. Hm, I suppose anything that's raunchy could be *E* in another life.




*E*

Oh wow. I went to bed and then to Latin class and already there are two pages. This is so exciting!!!!

I LOVE musicals. When I was little I watched The Sound of Music, the King and I, all of those classic Rogers and Hammerstein shows, all the time. I have no clue what my first show was. I suspect it might have been Dreamgirls or Phantom. We had to leave Phantom, though, because I was 7 and it scared the bejeesus out of me.

My favourite shows. . .

Wicked. It may not be the best show, but it speaks me. Defying Gravity made me cry both times I've seen it in the theatre, and a few times on the OCR. If there were a soundtrack to my life, at least five songs from Wicked would be one it. Elphaba is my ultimate dream role.

Phantom of the Opera. The Phantom . The phantom is an incredible character and I love the music. Prettyinpink and I are taking a friend to see it for his birthday this month because we both walked out on it when we were seven because it scared us. I can't wait!

42nd Street. Fond memories. It was my senior show. I can't listen to it now, but I had so much fun doing it.

Jesus Christ, Superstar. It may be silly, but I LOVE this show. It's awesome.

The Lion King (Broadway). Easily the most visually spectacular show I have ever seen. I just sat there like this: . The music is incredible and I love the African songs, but the visuals alone make this an incredible show.

I'm also a huge fan of Spamalot, The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee, Avenue Q (Yay, Ax! I love your sig. ), Anything Goes, Beauty and the Beast, and Sweeney Todd. I could write paragraphs for these, too, but I won't because a) I'm sure you'd all get sick of it and b) I have to finish my Anth homework in fifteen minutes.

(We Will Rock you is EVIL! EVIL I say! Worst musical I've ever seen. And just for the record, I did not see it by choice.)

TM, I'm really excited for Rent: The Movie, too. I never saw the show, and it's such a phenomenon . . . and to see Idina Menzel in the role should be awesome. I'm still sad that I didn't get to see her and Kristin Chenoweth in Wicked.

Will respond better later when I don't have Anthro looming over my head.

Yay, what a great theme month

I suppose I will link to the webpage I once made about my love of musicals. It's several years old, so it's a bit outdated (need to add "The Beautiful Game" very near the top), and I cannot vouch for every opinion expressed there, things may have changed! (For example, the favourite quote at the bottom would no longer be my favourite, I've come across many better since then). I had an obsession back then with ranking things, so I give all the songs marks out of 10.. such a geek

ALATAR, listen up, you have a video of Company on stage?? I WANTSS it!!! Do you know if it's commercially available, or if there is the possibility of making a copy I could play in the US?

It's not available commercially unfortunately, but I could make you a copy of mine if you like. It's recorded from TV but transferred to DVD. It's good quality considering the source.

!Alert!

Those of you interested in adapting the lyrics of Broadway musical to the virtues of Lutefisk, there will be prizes at the Lutefisk Festival.

Saturday, November 12, starting at 4:00 PM EST.

Would it be considered strange to send lots of to another guy? (Probably not strange in this particular thread )

Alatar, that would be so awesome. Is it possible there might be something I own that you would like a copy of? I don't know how extensive your collection is.

By the way, I have been to the Donmar just once, and that was for another Sondheim show, Into the Woods. A great experience.

Hey guys thanks for all the greetings!! Whoever asked, pinky is fine, in fact, its welcome I love having nicknames.

Crutchy is one of my fav Newsie boys... the other is Racetrack.

Question: is the Wicked musical suitable for children?

I would say the book definitely isn't.
