: The show!
:
: Ah - at last.
:
: First - I have to say that having the
: concept album nearly memorized, I was please
: with the many improvements to the score.
: The opening tableaux didn't confuse me -
: though I have read the book. Gizmo hasn't
: read it and he was OK.
:
: Anywhoo, I found myself impatient for JB's
: entrance, thinking back to the last time I'd
: seen him roll on under the curtain in Jane
: Eyre. No - here was a new character, but
: the same warm voice.
:
: There was good warm humor and chuckling from
: hubbie as well as the rest of the crowd.
: Sidney's sarcasm and wit were put to good
: use. I can't begin to recount the whole
: story. HOWever, I think the pacing was done
: well. The story did not drag - nor did I
: feel left behind anywhere. I would like to
: hear the exchange between Sidney and Darnay
: at the bar - after the trial - again. I'd
: like to hear JB sing Reflection again. Ah -
: see the whole SHOW again. I'm so happy
: Jenny and Kathey got to go 3 times. Maybe I
: can go with sometheater types next time -
: who like to chew all this over. Anywho -
:
: The children were superb in their rolls -
: their singing. I cheered them at the end.
: But I am getting ahead.
:
: Ah - Second act - Sidney finds himself
: giving a comforting hug to Lucie and I saw a
: trademark JB action: touching her hair. She
: did not see - but we did - and he touched it
: to his lips before going forward with the
: rest of his plan.
:
: The ending was splendid. Many were then on
: their feet for the curtain call but EVERYONE
: was there when James arrived. I stood
: before that - the notes - the voices!!!! My
: guys were "ok that was nice - "
: and I'm going - "You don't get it!
: These are some of THE BEST VOICES on
: Broadway."
:
: Ah - so we pressed on home - made the bus
: and slept well last night.
:
: Now - the Cast Album is a must have. That's
: all there is to it. (James' CD is there for
: sale, too.)
:
: NOw - I'm anxious to see what Kathey has to
: say after seeing it in Asolo!
:
: YAY! I got to go! Thanks for sharing it
: with me!
