Thank you for posting the update on Austin and Juliana Mr. E. I loved Juliana's voice and was shocked that she was eliminated from the competition so early on.

I doubt I'll be going to see Austin's show but I would like to see Juliana. She's actually the only member of the top 14 that I haven't met. I'll be in the city both weekends but I already have tickets to other shows. I'm looking at the 10:30pm show on the 26th. I already have tickets to the Marvelous Wonderettes so I'm trying to find out what the running times of both shows are. So far no luck though.

Please give us a review of the show- I would love to know your thoughts.

I found out that the running time of the Marvelous Wonderettes is a little over two hours. I think that will be cutting it a little too close for me to buy a ticket for College: The Musical for the 10:30 show.

I may go to the 10:30 show on Friday, September 19. I'm taking my sister the matinee of Legally Blonde on Saturday. If the show gets out at 12:30 or so I'd be catching the 1:41am train home so I'll be getting home around 3:30am. Then I have to be up by 10am at the latest to take the train back into the city in time for Legally Blonde. That or the 1pm show on on September 27 are pretty much my only options.

Hey, MrE, where is the American Theatre of Actors (Chernuchin) on 54th Street? What avenues is it between? I've tried looking online but everything I've found is very vague.

I found out last night that a friend of mine is appearing in the NYMF production of Lines. They only have four performances and I can't go to any of them because they're during work or are late on a week night.

Really? I've been iffy about going. I am going to see College on Saturday. Maybe I just like Julianna better. I don't know what's making me drag my feet about going.

Austin plays a soap star who goes to Israel to prepare for a movie role and ends up thinking he's Abraham.

Show focuses on three stories - a childless couple on vacation (she ends up thinking she's Sarah); a tour guide on his first tour (ends up thinking he's Moses); a gay guy who inherits land across from the Church of the Holy Sepulcher and plans to build a gay resort.

Soon, the guy who thinks he's Moses leads the loonies on an Exodus out of the mental ward.

Highly implausible? Probably, but you can't really complain, since the whole idea of the disease is so implausible.

NYMF 2008 Roundup #2

In the sweet spot between ironic and post-ironic lies College: The Musical, now at American Theatre of Actors, a preternaturally savvy tuner crammed with trenchant observations about the collegiate experience.

This isn't to say the show is firmly rooted in reality. For the most part, College is what you think higher education will be like when you're 15 -- a never-ending string of parties, friendships, and frivolity. It's the sort of place where you can show up as a freshman geek and instantly find yourself surrounded by cool older kids and pursued by a ridiculously forgiving hottie.

For all its up-to-the-minute references (one character starts a club called "face-to-face Facebook"), College is old-fashioned in its structure. The plot exists only to provide a setting for its goofily perfect pearls of wisdom. Songs touch on the simple, violent joys of video games ("Click, Smash!"), the rites of partydom ("Alcoholeluia"), and the apathy of the aughts ("Generation Meh").

Co-authors Drew Fornarola and Scott Elmegreen, both recent Princeton grads, have fashioned an unapologetically pop-rock score that's pretty, addictive, and outfitted with well-crafted lyrics. The young cast -- some of whom have been with the show since its actual collegiate beginnings -- are uniformly terrific with an assemblage of gorgeous voices that actually possess character. They're harnessed together by Jeremy Dobrish's remarkably clear direction, complimented by Boo Killebrew's witty choreography. And while I'm fairly certain that the creators' best work still lies ahead of them, their work is far better than one of their song titles, "Good Enough for Now," might suggest.

I also saw Juliana's show this afternoon but I'll post about that when I get up. I've been home for about an hour and I'm tired.

Saturday morning dawned a bit earlier than I would have liked but I rolled out of bed and got ready to go to the train station again. I had tried to get another ticket to College for Lauren but it was listed as sold out so I was unable to do. Which meant that I had to take the train back to Hamilton after College, get Lauren, and then take the train back to New York for Xanadu.

College was playing on 54th Street so I walked the 20 blocks from Penn Station in a light mist and upon arrival at the theatre I was suddenly glad I hadn't brought Lauren. The stairs leading to the theatre were these tight winding ones that would have taken her about an hour to navigate.

The show itself was very good. It was all about college life and partying. The drinking, skipping classes, etc. Some of it seemed foreign to me because NONE of this stuff went on at Cedar Crest. But the cast was delightful and the songs were infectious.

I was at the final performance of "Jerusalem Syndrome this past Sunday. It was a very cute show with fun and catchy songs. As MrE stated Austin played a soap opera actor who comes to Israel to film a miniseries. He walked around in a sheet a lot and seemed more to be "posing" than acting. But that could totally fit in with the character he was playing.
