Kelli O'Hara & Nathan McHunky Gunn To Lead NY Philharmonic CAROUSEL

[Jordan Catalano]

YES, PLEASE!!!!!!

[SonofRobbieJ]

Oh, my word!

[Jordan Catalano]

I'd like to see his bigelow.

[eperkins]

I'll just bet you would.

[PalJoey]

You're a queer one, Jordan Catalano.

[Playbilly]

Quick Jordan!! Nathan or Jake?

[Jordan Catalano]

Both.


At the same time.

[whatever2]

Both! With each other -- i'll just sit in the corner and watch ... mostly.

[EricMontreal22]

Glad Lonny Price isn't scheduled to direct.

[Jordan Catalano]

I hope PBS airs this one.

[SonofRobbieJ]

'Glad Lonny Price isn't scheduled to direct.'

Here's the thing. I didn't like the Candide or Camelot concerts. The Camelot was, indeed, bizarre.

But his Sweeney concert? Thrilling. His Passion made me appreciate the show in an entirely different way and his Company concert is the most persuasive case for the show I've ever seen. And, of course, there's A Class Act, which was really lovely, and had a few stunning moments (particularly when the Kleban character came up with the lyrics to At the Ballet). I truly don't understand the blanket hate thrown at his direction.

[Wynbish]

Nathan is such a stud.

[EricMontreal22]

Son of--I had a much more mixed reaction to Passion and Sweeney as you, but I will admit I thought Company was about as perfect as a semi staged version of a musical could be.

[little_sally]

I desperately want a revival of this show but I will take this!

[AC126748]

Stephanie Blythe as Nettie Fowler. Stephanie Blythe as Nettie Fowler! STEPHANIE BLYTHE AS NETTIE FOWLER!!!!!

[matineeidol2013]

As lovely and talented as Kelli O'Hara is, I suppose I was hoping for someone not so obvious. Very excited for Nathan Gunn though!

[Jordan Catalano]

An obvious choice is often times obvious because it's the best.

[FindingNamo]

I just know if Nathan could smack me, it would feel like a kiss.

[CATSNYrevival]

I wasn't impressed with him in Camelot, but that whole production was miscast from top to bottom so I'm willing to give him another chance in this.

[dreaming]

This is the biggest disappointment for casting I've seen in ages. I'm glad I didn't get a ticket. It's boring casting.

Do these generally sell out? How quickly?

[Wilmingtom]

So Billy is in his 40s and still working at the carousel? No wonder he's so frustrated.

[iluvtheatertrash]

I don't mind an older Billy. It's an ancient Julie I can't stand. She is way too old (not to mention boring) for this role.

[BeadleDeedle]

Its just a concert. And its going to be spectacularly sung.

[SonofRobbieJ]

^ THIS.

Yes...please. Let's complain about a concert that NO ONE IS FORCING YOU TO GO TO and is going to feature one of the best Broadway sopranos around and one of the world's great baritones who can actually shift between opera and classic musical theatre.
