Sutton Foster

Foster, Mazzie, Damiano and more will appear in the musical’s reading on November 20.

Tony winner Sutton Foster (as gym teacher Miss Gardner), Marin Mazzie (as Margaret White), Jennifer Damiano (as Sue), Molly Ranson (in the title role) as well as Diana DeGarmo, John Arthur Greene, Philip Hoffman and Matt Doyle will head the big-name cast assembled for the Equity reading of Carrie: The Musical, the stage adaptation of the Stephen King novel and subsequent film. Directed by Stafford Arima and featuring musical direction by Stephen Oremus, the reading will be presented for for an invited audience on November 20.

In addition to Foster (Shrek, Thoroughly Modern Millie), Mazzie (Passion, Ragtime), Damiano (Next to Normal), Ranson (August: Osage County), DeGarmo (Hairspray, The Toxic Avenger), Greene (West Side Story), Hoffman (A Catered Affair, Fiddler on the Roof) and Doyle (Bye Bye Birdie, Spring Awakening), the reading will feature Corey Boardman, Lilli Cooper, Katrina Rose Dideriksen, Benjamin Eakeley, Emily Ferranti, Kyle Harris, Kaitlin Kiyan, Max Kumangai, Mackenzie Mauzy, Preston Sadleir, Jonathan Schwartz, Bud Weber and Sasha Weiss.

Carrie tells the story of a shy teenage girl with telekinetic powers. Raised by a domineering Christian fundamentalist mother in a small New England town, Carrie is frequently attacked as an outcast by her classmates and peers. The book, which culminates in a deadly prom and bucket of blood, was adapted into a film in 1976 starring Sissy Spacek in the title role, Piper Laurie as her mother and Betty Buckley as Carrie’s gym teacher.

The show’s original creators—composer Michael Gore, lyricist Dean Pitchford and librettist Lawrence D. Cohen—are reportedly revisiting and rewriting the material for the new reading.

After 16 previews, Carrie opened at the Virginia Theatre (now the August Wilson Theatre, home of Jersey Boys) on May 12, 1988 and closed three days later on May 15, 1988. British director Terry Hands led a cast featuring Tony winner Betty Buckley as Margaret White, Linzi Hateley as Carrie White, Darlene Love as gym teacher Miss Gardner, Charlotte d’Amboise as bad girl Chris, Fame TV star Gene Anthony Ray as Billy, and, in the ensemble, well-known dancers including Mary Ann Lamb, Joey McKneely and Scott Wise.

this one has potential…

for a certain first dance :

A foggy day,
In london town,
It had me low,
And it had me down
I viewed the morning,
With much alarm,
The british museum,
Had lost it’s charm
How long I wondered,
Could this thing last,
But the age of miracles,
It hadnt past
And suddenly,
I saw you standing right there
And in foggy london town,
The sun was shining everywhere

Shay finally got booted off of the biggest loser last night…. bout time they realized that just because she was the biggest didn’t mean that she “deserved” to be there over anyone else…everyone on that show deserved to be there, cept daniel (real life chris griffin)…he’s a cheater.

Go Rudy, Danny and Liz, Go !!

Peace out Orange team

 

it’s friday. thats lovely.

All I want is a room somewhere
Far away from the cold night air
With one enormous chair
Oh, wouldn’t it be lovely ?

Lots of chocolate for me to eat
Lots of coal makin’ lots of heat
Warm face, warm hands, warm feet
Oh, wouldn’t it be lovely ?

Oh so lovely sittin’ abso-bloomin’-lutely still
I would never budge till Spring crept over the window sill

Someone’s head restin’ on my knee
Warm and tender as she can be
Who takes good care of me
Oh, wouldn’t it be lovely ?

Who takes good care of me
Oh, wouldn’t it be lovely ? (lovely)
Lovely (lovely)
Oh, wouldn’t it be lovely ?

introducing Adam Dowswell:

Me:  ADAM! What’s new

Adam:  HEY! NOT TOO MUCH….i got some new shoes

and that in a nutshell…is Adam Dowswell….

Dear Tourist.

Word of the wise. During rush hour in the morning, it’s not really the smartest thing to try and stop in the middle of the platform to take photos of the metro train….I’m sorry I ran you over… but next time…shoot for 10 am…there will be less grumpy people in your “beautiful shot of the ugly gray trains” if you try another time.

Thanks,

Hater of Metro

I waited and waited…

for the Glee version of “Defying Gravity” to become available on itunes. It was almost as painful as waiting for my oatmeal to finish in the morning! I thought Lea could really come through on this one, the girl has pipes…maybe I’ve given her too much credit….

This is what they came up with:

Kurt and Rachel doing Elphaba and “Gah-Linda”…really?!?!?!

I’ve seen Wicked twice… I have a slight obsession with it.. OK, I have a slight obsession with all things Broadway related, but this one is fairly close to perfection if you ask me …and I am slightly… no, VERY disappointed in this rendition…lock it up Glee…

Idina Menzel. Shoshana Bean. Eden Espinosa. Kerry Ellis. yada yada are probably all cringing…if they care…over this one.

If you are going to remake this song…remake the shiz outta it… ( get it …shiz….like “dear old shiz”…wicked fans get it..the rest of you…wikipedia time)
