I'm listening to the new "Evita" and am seriously underwhelmed. I think Ricky Martin would be more suited to play Mabel in "Pirates of Penzance," than Che. There is next to no emotion whatsoever in his performance. The only color is a Spanish pronunciation to a few words here and there.

And Jose, you mentioned the accordion in "The Gershwins' P&B," but it's more irritating, even if appropriate here. Maybe it's because I like real Argentine accordion, as opposed to faux Argentine jazz hands orchestrations.

Ah, yes... The accordion... Which should be more of a bandoneon... It actually better and more authentic in the theatre.

As for Mr. Martin... If you ever get to see the show - or watch clips of it - be sure to see how much "acting" Mr. Martin does with his left hand... While his right hand stays by his side, usually in his pants pocket. Apparently, anytime he used his right hand in rehearsal, it would automatically assume the "microphone position". ::)

The day has flown by, sort of.




I only wish.

Mr. Barnum, how many days a week do you currently work?

And does it assume the "microphone position" while in his pants pocket?

Jose, Did I tell you that Jenny and her husband Julian will not be in Seattle during your visit?  They are currently in rehearsal for 9 TO 5 - THE MUSICAL in Columbus, Georgia.

The Orchestra Of Ireland.  This is the Finale of the show: Stephen Rea is on the last mike, far right, Annalene is behind the music stands in front of Stephen, and Jim Cleverton has his back to us.

DR Danise I agree with DR TCB. You should contact the AC show and let them know.

Me harassing the chorus. I was giving them stage names for the act one finale. To address the chorus, I had to climb on the last riser with the percussion. Catriona, the drummer, is looking at me rather bemusedly.
