Has anyone else made the long journey through the archives to read the posts of the first few months? I keep meaning to continue the quest to find my first post. I think it may have been early March before I "found the way".

Archives schmarchives! I was HERE! Well, from about week 2 on, at least.

I also thought the original cast of Miss Saigon, at least Jonathan Pryce and Lea Solanga really had it. The strength of their performances really held together what was, imho, an overblown production of a really small story. Yes, the historical setting was/important, but it tended to overshadow the personal relationship between The Engineer, Kim and John. -And the helicopter wasn't really that big a deal.

I'm not going to argue about the helicopter (like the score, never saw the show), but if you want to talk about over-hyped effects, I have never seen the chandelier in Phantom of the Opera when it didn't seem like a joke. I really love the show, but that is the big effect that everyone always talks about???

DR Ann is missing again. Perhaps she is having that "rent growth" removed surgically.

Jed · « **Reply #546 on:** January 09, 2004, 11:49:41 PM »

I believe DR Ann is visiting home to show off her tan lines this weekend after her long Hawaiian excursion.

Well.. I guess I have been quite the Posting Paulie today (as opposed to a Chatty Cathy)...

Guess I'm making up for my most likely errant and truantness next week when I go to NY. OH, and speaking of NYC....

Our evenings are taken care of with shows, but the days are still more or less up in the air. Any NYers - or been-to-NYers - have any suggestions for what to do next week? Any "can't miss" exhibits at any of the museums? Is there a new store or boutique worth checking out just for the curiosity factor? Any great little restaurant or food stand to try out? I'm doing some reading up now, but any and all suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

And the night?

IMHO the Helicopter gave the show publicity. It wasn't significant in any other way. In Phantom I always thought the "floor candles" were a better effect than anything else. I still prefer the storyline of the Yeston version and the humour in the Ken Hill version.

I agree about the chandelier... there it goes... it's still going... and going... ok, almost there...

However, a friend of mine did the show in Germany, and he told me that the chandelier practically free-falls there. The theatre was built for the show, so.. In any case, he said it falls much faster then it does in London or on Broadway... Oh, and on the road...

-It's still going...

As are you, Dear TCB!

How did your murder mystery go tonight?
I'm still waiting to hear from DR Evil Twin as to how her performance went. . .

Actually, the murder mystery was quite a hit tonight.

Jed · « **Reply #552 on:** January 09, 2004, 11:55:28 PM »

I agree 100%, Tomovoz. The floor candles are a more interesting visual than the chandelier. Haven't seen Miss Saigon, so I can't really comment on the helicopter.

Tomovoz · « **Reply #553 on:** January 09, 2004, 11:57:02 PM »

Looks like tomorrow Jed. Full marks for your restraint.

And the night?

DR TCB - I quote myself:

"Our evenings are taken care of with shows..."

And to be more specific: Urinetown, Avenue Q, Wicked, Caroline, or Change, and Hairspray.

Or were you talking about after the shows? ;-)

George · « **Reply #555 on:** January 09, 2004, 11:57:53 PM »

I only saw ALW's PhantomOTO and Miss Saigon once each and I was more impressed with the floor candles than either the chandelier or the helicopter.

George · « **Reply #556 on:** January 09, 2004, 11:59:00 PM »

Hey, only 14 more posts until Page 20!! Can it possible happen??

bk · « **Reply #557 on:** January 09, 2004, 11:59:10 PM »

19 PAGES??? We cannot be stopped! However, last call, last call. In about two minutes, hold off from posting for thirty seconds, and then we can get a lovely head-start on tomorrow's posts.

George · « **Reply #558 on:** January 09, 2004, 11:59:41 PM »

I guess not.

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #559 on:** January 09, 2004, 11:59:42 PM »

OH... I think the chandelier finally made it to the stage...

Now what?

Laura II · « **Reply #560 on:** January 09, 2004, 11:59:53 PM »

I can't stop listening to Wicked!
