Yeah if I didn't already want to watch that would be reason enough to do so.

funky_chick · 05-08-2009, 01:37 PM

When will it start?

Or do we even know yet?

Hogglebee · 05-08-2009, 02:51 PM

Finally watched Repo! Damn, it's weird

Not for the faint hearted and weak stomached. It's gruesome in places and very dark. Paris provided one of the most comedic moments, near the end. I won't spoil it though

There's a preview for Americans in a couple of weeks for Glee isn't there? Or is it next week? Sometime this month I think...

I'm in England, I'm gonna have to wait forever

I haven't heard anything about it

that's why I'm asking

Wayward Melody · 05-08-2009, 04:14 PM

It's like two weeks away Julie...they are showing the pilot on FOX after American Idol. I can't remember the exact date but I'll find it for you.

Holly is it really gross? I'm not hugely into the gross but I do enjoy the odd.

I Don't Dance · 05-08-2009, 04:24 PM

I'm not so sure I can get into gross either.

Hogglebee · 05-09-2009, 02:49 PM

If you don't like gross, you possibly might not enjoy it. There are some very bloody and nasty scenes (organ removal and what not)

I still can't make up my mind whether I liked it or not

You will probably be able to tell within the first 5/10 minutes if you will like it or not.

Wayward Melody · 05-10-2009, 11:11 AM

Okay well that's a plus. I might try to find it and see. I mean, I enjoyed Watchmen, alot, and that is very violent...it just depends if the characters of the plot grab me enough that I become desensitized.

**Gracie** · 05-11-2009, 10:57 AM

Yep you can totally tell in the first 5/10 minutes if you'll like it or not

I just watched Repo too and though I normally dislike really gross stuff, I didn't mind it. I did like the music though.

Hogglebee · 05-11-2009, 12:38 PM

I was actually a bit iffy about the music and the singing voices the first time...

Some of it was alright. I loved Shiloh and Nathan's duet at the end, and her song after that.

I loved the Graverobber's voice, and I thought Sarah Brightman was really good in her role.

I've seen it 3 times now, and I guess I like it more and more each time I watch it. The first time, I was a bit

Wayward Melody · 05-11-2009, 11:14 PM

Yeah, I watch the Anatomy scene with the GraveDigger just to get a better understanding and I found it stupidly catchy.

I Don't Dance · 05-30-2009, 08:24 PM

I wasn't a fan. I think I like mainstream.

The Addams Family has found a Broadway home. The new musical, starring two-time Tony winners Nathan Lane and Bebe Neuwirth, will play the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre. Previews of the show, directed and designed by Phelim McDermott and Julian Crouch, will begin on March 4, 2010, with opening night set for April 8, 2010. The production will have a pre-Broadway engagement at the Ford Center for the Performing Arts, Oriental Theatre in Chicago beginning on November 13, 2009.

Joining Lane and Neuwirth in the cast are Terrence Mann as Mal Beineke, Carolee Carmello as Alice Beineke, Kevin Chamberlin as Uncle Fester, Jackie Hoffman as Grandmama, Zachary James as Lurch, Adam Riegler as Pugsley, Wesley Taylor as Lucas Beineke and Krysta Rodriguez as Wednesday.

Based on the bizarre and beloved characters created by Charles Addams, this original story finds the famously macabre Addams Family put to the test when outsiders come to dinner, hurling Gomez, Morticia, Wednesday, Pugsley, Fester, Grandmama and Lurch headlong into a night that will change the family forever.

The Addams Family features a book by the Jersey Boys team of Marshall Brickman and Rick Elice and music and lyrics by Andrew Lippa (The Wild Party). Choreography is by Sergio Trujillo (Next to Normal, Jersey Boys).

The Lunt-Fontanne’s current tenant, The Little Mermaid, is scheduled to close on August 30.

I'm so excited for this musical. The casting is phenomenal.

Very cool Jenn. Though I'm sad about The Little Mermaid.

Seconded. I do love me some Terrence Mann though.
