How can anybody dislike this version? It's right, and the casting--woah. Weird? Isn't it a bit weird to have poppy fluff in the middle of 1920? Isn't that the weird one?
I think this one is definitely better than the lippa version, the almost stream of consciousess through composing of the music is great. Plus the jazzier quality of the music is almost a lot more "dirty" than the cleaner big band style Lippa uses. I like some songs off of the Lippa's version more, and his attention to keeping with one main plot and idea is good. But I think that Lachiusa's choice to use a lot of characters makes it very interesting it seems like there's a lot more character.
This version of 'The Wild Party' is much closer to the sound that they would have had when the poem was written. I am a fan of both versions of the show due to how different they are. Lippa's is more contemporary broadway sounding while LaChuisa's is more authenic jazz sounding!
Okay, enough with the "I Hate this version" comments! I know where youre coming from, cuz I thought the same thing when I 1st discovered he Bway version (I was used to Lippa's version) but now it's really grown on me. If you think I'm wrong, find a time when ur free and just listen to the songs ALL THE WAY THROUGH (I know a lot of songs start of weirdly). If you still hate it, the polite thing to do would be to NOT leave those comments on a page about this musical because it's just plain annoyin
I did a limited engagement of the musical with Tony Nominee Lorraine Serabian and Jefferson-Nominee Anne Tolpegin at Riverside Theater last year. But you are exactly right, so many theater companies pass over the LaChuisa Version for the less difficult Lippa Version. I did a week of work on the B-Way Production when a orchestra pit musician was out...what an awesome show to be a part of...and now twice!!
Toni is VERY HOTTTT but R.O. is a big f'n fat dyke

In 2006, Collette starred in Little Miss Sunshine, a comedy-drama-road movie about a family's trip to a children's beauty pageant.

The acting in this scene is absolutely perfect. You can feel her heart break after she says "And the answer is.."

C, i personally lyk the lachuisa version better. I think lippa's took away some of the jazz authenticity thi one has, but thats just me.

Sorry for all the spelling and grammar mistakes, I kept going over the character limit.

@Wickedisnumba1 You know what, I felt teh same exact thing. I would have to say that I like this one better than Lippa's.
