Is the whole damn show like this?

No.

Passing Strange really is truly unique. I do think it leans more toward a rock concert with a theatrical thru-line, but it really was quite an enlightening and energizing evening the theatre for me. It's most definitely not a show for everyone, but, regardless of whether you like Stu's music, his talent can't be denied.

And yet I've had many people tell me that Passing Strange is the best thing they've ever seen - the gal who played Yoni thought so, but then she's in her early 20s. I'll be interested to see the number, and you know I won't be shy about my thoughts.

Might be - to people who have never seen anything.

I wouldn't even download Passing Strange from iTunes.

Talent for what?

Such vicarious thrills but I know you'll all want to be here for the West Coast reactions from people on the West Coast.

A pro theater friend of mine came back from NYC severalk years ago raving about BKLYN (or however it was spelled.) She swore it was the best show she'd ever seen.

Original cast of Rent? Are they going to perform on Jazzies?

The Rent tribute - which comes in the last half hour - turned out to be quite touching. And a bit sobering.

*Even with all the screaming for Idina.

Yeah, BKLYN - one for the ages.

Jrand74 · « **Reply #399 on:** June 15, 2008, 05:37:41 PM »

DR JOSE maybe it's one of those shows that MUSICIANS can really relate to. The song was okay, but didn't seem like Broadway to me.

Just saw a clip - did they give Patti the old coat that Bernadette wore when she pretended to do GYPSY?

And just how long has your friend smoked crack?

Horses, and all...

Yes, that mic falling off the stand was a shame.

Jrand74 · « **Reply #403 on:** June 15, 2008, 05:38:31 PM »

I'm not noticing a lot of screaming teens....maybe they were banished to the upstairs....or the stage door.

DakotaCelt · « **Reply #404 on:** June 15, 2008, 05:38:32 PM »

I was not overly impressed by it...

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #405 on:** June 15, 2008, 05:38:54 PM »

YEAH! The Billy Elliott commercial!

*And I just found out that two friends of mine (finally) got cast in the show! YEAH for house seats!

Too bad it was just the one.

Guess we're not entertaining enough for our GUESTS - they've dropped in number to nine. Well, they'll be much better off at broadwayworld.com, where the true pundits are.

Poor Carol Channing.

Oh. I had forgotten about that Carol Channing bit from 2004.

They're there - and can be heard. -I think they just are not mic-ing the balcony this year. Thankfully.

DakotaCelt · « **Reply #411 on:** June 15, 2008, 05:39:47 PM »

I liked RENT

Just as bizarre this time around.

Dammit - weather break alert.....might be more entertaining that Lithgow, however.

No. They're just showing some memorable clips from Tonys' past.
