plaid ducky Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 According to someone who was there tonight, the OBCR will be available on April 8 and they are taking pre-orders. It's possible that it may be available digitally before that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think OBCR means more like the Recording of the Original Broadway Cast [than a recording on Broadway by the cast].) Sorry, that was a bit of a fail explanation.

GDM Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 Lol its ok. If I remember correctly, Tanya didn't like it the first time she saw it either, it took a second time for her to enjoy it (correct me if I'm wrong Tanya) You are correct. The first time I saw it I had major issues with the choreography and frankly, John Gallagher. The second night I saw it, I let go of my inner critic and the music just swept me away, particularly the female voices. I actually told John Gallagher that I thought he needed to bring more angst to the character when I met him at Rockwood in January, and when I saw it last night, he was perfect. He slowed down his little monologues, and by "Whatersname" I actually felt that he had been through hell and back. The scene where he, Tunny, and Will meet back up was really powerful. You could feel how pissed he was at Tunny, and when Will calmed him down, I almost cried when they hugged. When I saw him after the show, I told him how great he was. He shocked the crap out of me by remembering my name. Haha, he's such a humble fellow, and When It's Time... oh man, so lovely. The story is much better and cleaner now, too, though I can understand if people don't get the flow. And thank goodness that the scene where he quits drugs has been made much more serious. When I saw it in September, it just didn't work for me.I loved that change as well as the giant frame for Rock and Roll Girlfriend. Stark Sands is a great addition to the cast. I liked Matt Caplan, but I think Sands is much better in the role. Michael Esper was again, fantastic. I can't say more good things about Rebecca as Whatsername, she is perfect, and Mary Faber, too. They cut Good Riddance at the end (I didn't see the Berkeley version where they did it), and that is a good thing. Anyway, those are my thoughts so far. Going to see it again on 4/7, will probably write about it then so I can let the show sink in more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J'net Posted March 25, 2010 Author Share Posted March 25, 2010 The show last night was a great experience. I am really pleased with the changes that have been made - I had more insights - I don't know if it's because of the changes or because I've seen the show often enough. Larry Livermore went with me, and he loved it, but he didn't get near as much of the story as I did. It was his first time to see it. I think it's a show to see a few times. There's so much going on, it's not going to be easy to take it all in on the first viewing. And as Larry said, you could just watch the set and the band / other musicians and not take in the story at all. It's not simple, but it's powerful. It was SO great to see Tony Vincent as St. Jimmy again! I remembered he was wonderful, but he just blew me away all over again. I agree with Tanya that Johnny's character was much more developed, but I really think all 3 of the leading guys were, partly because of some of the changes made overall. I'm not going to go into it here, because I've made my notes for a full recap. Anything to do with the specific changes I'll put in spoilers and I'll post later - maybe even today since I don't have any meetings this afternoon. It was great to see a few friends, and I'm sorry I didn't get a chance to really talk to anyone. We arrived just as the doors opened, and we left immediately afterward for dinner - neither of us had eaten. Great night! When I asked Larry later what he thought of the show, he said (among other things) that he wished he'd invested in it - he thinks it's going to be a big success. Yay!!!!!

We saw you sitting with Larry. I gotta say, the look in his eyes while he was looking at the curtain was so full of joy and astonishment. I can only imagine what he felt as his friends that he's known since they were kids brought this amazing production to fruition. And yes, it's too bad he didn't invest. I can guarantee you that this show will be on B'way for a long time to come. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan86 Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 For any fans in the uk and Ireland that have sky digital. There is a bit that comes on the sky news active showbiz section about the musical. There is a short interview with the band mainly mike talking. Not much we haven't already seen but it was cool to see something on tv about it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tripe Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 the first preview was AMAZING. i died a little bit. i was almost in tears as the curtain rose. i went to the after-party and it was my first time meeting the band so forgive me for being super-lame, but tre took my wine glass out of my hand and sipped from it when i met him, and billie joe hugged me. i can die happily now. That's a great story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
