Re:It's official... - 2008/02/05 16:10 i know! but.... when you think about it most shows in the past 10 years (excluding spelling bee, drowsy chaperone,curtains

and avenue q) are based on something.... I Rent a Wicked apartment on Avenue Q! (Unfortunatly, it's haunted by a Phantom)

Re:It's official... - 2008/02/08 15:16 yeah, but guys think about it: if it was terrible, why would Sutton want to do it? She's smart, and she knows how to pick 'em:

- Thoroughly Modern Millie
- Drowsy Chaperone
- Young Frankenstein

(She HAS done other shows, i am no currently on drugs - i know she has. these are just the ones that stand out in my mind where she was amazing!) ~ Kaitlin ~ Always Rockin The Boat ~

Favorite Shows: Young Frankenstein, Curtains, Little Shop of Horrors, The Producers
Dream Roles that I have NO CHANCE of Getting Because of Something i Have no control over: Ulla from the Producers or Inga from Young Frankenstein (neither tall nor blonde - such a shame too, because this is one of my favorite "character roles" to play), Igor from Young Frankenstein (i'm no man, no matter how many times i play one), Gary Coleman from Avenue Q (skin color)
SEEING ON MARCH 29TH ON BROADWAY - YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN
^^
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Re:It's official... - 2008/02/12 01:30 ^Little Women...at least I liked it!

You know what...if Sutton is in this I'm certain I'll like it because I seem to like everything she's connected with!! It seems a little soon for her to be leaving YF though.

So this could be good...I wonder if it'll be more traditional Broadway or more like...Hairspray or Grease or something with a poppy feel. Yeah probably more like Hairspray. The opposite of Rent is Oklahoma!!! Why didn't I think of that?

Hooray! She has a lovely voice. I saw her in the Drowsy Chaperone.

I wonder what made them decide to turn the Shrek story into a Broadway show? There should be some... interesting songs to come from this.
