We'll See What We See

Joe and I are planning to go see La Cage Aux Folles on Friday, Thanks to the student rush ticket line. Which reminds me that I better bring something warm to wear while I wait in line.

I'm preparing by listening to 2010 cast album on Spotify. I've seen the original film and it's sequels, plus the film's bastard American stepchild, The Bird Cage, plus a production of the play (versus the musical). So, I'm familiar enough with the story. I've also heard several of the songs before, like the gay anthem I Am What I Am.

I'm a little turned off by this cast recording because it has Kelsey Grammer playing Georges. I'm rather disgusted by his personal behavior with his wife/ex-wife and mistress/wife.

I think George Hamilton will be more interesting in the role, and I'm looking forward to seeing Christopher Sieber as Albin.

That's a cute icon, but I can't help thinking of Harpo Marx... (who frequently in the Bros. movies would put his leg up on someone's outstretched arm)

I've seen only the original and The Birdcage, and I confess I liked the latter, though not as well as the original. George Hamilton is interesting casting--will you do a review after?

I toured in Evita with Christopher's partner Kevin. I've enjoyed everything I've seen Christopher perform in, so I would anticipate that you are going to have a terrific time! Let us know what you think!
