I noticed that I had a smile on my face most of the show...the only times I was not smiling was when I was almost in tears with L. Munsey singing "I am what I am" and when Georges and Albin sang together about how they had met. What a wonderful show it was. By the way, I know some people are hesitant about driving "so far" to get to a show. I live in the City of Fairfax and made it door to door in 59 minutes...no big deal! The brunch buffet was good too. I was cheating on a diet I have been on since after Christmas and what a nice was to cheat!

Having seen the show twice before, I was reluctant to go again. I'm very glad I changed my mind and went to Toby's--this was the best rendition of the three!

Lisa is a friend and colleague, and, although it's been awhile, so is Lynne.They are both fabulous on so many levels. I just feel Lisa got short shrift in a number of different ways on this one and she deserves to be recognized for having rocked this role to the rafters, just as Lynne did. Too bad there isn't a HH award for best shared role, huh? Cheers jb Thanks Joel. Didn’t mean to be catty.

If I did see her, I'm sure I would have added her next to Lynne, as I did with Jonny and Bobby at High School Musical. When I said "no one" I meant "no one" that I have seen, has sung that song any better. Joel Unfortunately, I did not see Lisa, and I know what a great talent she is.

No? Neither did the Helen Hayes judges. If you didn't see her, please don't say "no one" let me say this once more "no one". Lynn is great, no argument. Lisa is no less, and MANY Toby's audiences will tell you the same. Cheers to BOTH these show-stopping talents!!
