[JulianComeau]

[The29thStreet]

THE SANDWICHES. AHHHH!

[lynnluv123]

[HISPANOish]

I LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS SONG.

[Lanaensophie]

Its coming to my country! FINALLY!

[itsmollyx]

Aaron Tveit.

[chisholm328]

best muscial ever!!!!

[LifeWeAsHoped]

@megamerryn Its story concerns a mother who struggles with worsening bipolar disorder and the effect that her illness has on her family. (from wikipedia)

[megamerryn]

@LifeWeAsHoped thanks :)

[lennoshane]

Aaron Tveits voice makes me melt <3

[ritsfata]

Ah Alice Ripley.

[ritsfata]

@ThomasHiltonPresents Nor is it all rock. It's mostly though.

[mrmusical14]

wow

[jetset59]

Has anyone seen Jessica Phillips? She was in the night I saw it and she was phenomenal. I was upset b/c I missed Alice Ripley, naturally, but watching videos I kinda think Jessica Phillips was better.

[ritsfata]

@jetset59 Not possible. No one can do this show like Alice Ripley does. She is the only Diana in my personal opinion.

[xxbroadwayfreakxx]

let's find out people's opinions...

Who is better as Gabe? Aaron or Kyle?

[devoutlyimmature]

@xxbroadwayfreakxx They're artists, you can't really judge them like that...you can say you connected with one person's interpretation more, but BETTER? It's not really fair to the actors to rate them like that...

[Alnoshic]

Is this a musical, or a rock opera?

[Babyswan95]

it's the opening song, at the end of this she goes mad whilst making sandwiches (:

[loon2289]

omg i soo sad tat that aaron isnt doing it anymore but i got c it with oringanal cast whoohhh!!!! but he is AWSOME!!!!!! this show is sooo.... AWSOME!!!

[jmridingred]

[tennispirate1]

Aaron is leaving briefly for some Catch Me if You Can thing on Broadway, but he'll be back on September 7th.

:) hope that helps

[FidoraGirl]

Aaron is the best

[TheLittleMerAMY]

[andk3llysaid]

I WOULD SO AUDTION FOR IT

[Chachabugergurl]

not if i do it first!!! >:)

or we can collaborate

[ZekeBaylor]

does anyone know what state this takes place in?

[Feareous]

I'm not sure.... I don't remember reading it in the synopsis, nor hearing any references throughout the album. Sorry =(

[ZekeBaylor]

cause I know the writer comes from Washington state. And Dan mentiones grey and rainy weather... and we got plenty of that here.

[wickedLAcastlover]

@Feareous

Asa told us it takes place in Washington.

[Pokespray]

It's in Washington or Oregan becase *spoilers* Diana goes to Seattle

[livingmylife29]

i think it would be in the portland area in Maine because in the song "Better than Before" it mentions "getting on the highway and going west in the honda" and i don't think you can go any more west if you're in Oregon

[bluebettle]

The state of desperation.

[bunhead33]

well they eloped in portland if that helps. although there are a lot of portands so....

[ItsAllAboutPopular]

in the workshop of this, feeling electric, it said Seattle..

[lilchipper002]

however, in one part of the play, in one of the songs, she mentions them getting some trinkets in atlantic city [their wedding bands], which is in new jersey

[dramageek915]

@ZekeBaylor it takes place in Seattle, Washington

[ericarevion]

@ZekeBaylor Likely Maine or Oregon, considering the eloped to Portland, and those two states have very large recognizable Portlands

[DAZZLEMMM]

@ZekeBaylor washington i think....

[elphabarocks]

@ZekeBaylor it takes place in seattle, washington

[kinmanthebrave]

@ZekeBaylor They never refer to the location, except to say they eloped in Portland. If you consider names like Dr Fine, and the surname Goodman you'll see they're are making this somewhat universal and allegorical.

[bradywidener]

@ZekeBaylor I think Ohio....

[EnjorProductions]

Oh that's alright, im actually getting the cd soon. But thanks anyway!

P.s. i listen to all of these that you posted at least everyday :P so thanks!

[iwannabeaweasley]

I totally wish they included the dialogue prior to Diana's entrance (it's when she's "talking to Gabe") and they extended the dialogue with Natalie (when she goes through all her homework and is like "It's just like... calm!"). Would help the flow more. :3

[EnjorProductions]

Feareous: Do you know where to find the correct lyrics for this soundtrack? All the sites ive been to have different lyrics. Btw thanks for uploading all of these :D

[Feareous]

No, I do not know where to find them.... but I do have the correct lyrics. They came with the Broadway edition of the musical. Would you like the lyrics????

[vivalavieboheme14]

this is soooo goood!!!!!! i wanna see this so bad!!!

[Zshumba]

Does anyone know what Diana (Alice Ripley) sings at 3:21? It's starts with: For my family's sake....I'll take what I can take...I'm only _____?? It such a GREAT part and I can't ever sing along with that one line since I don't know it haaha....Kinda sounds like I'm only half awake? Can anyone shed some light on this? Thanks!

[Feareous]

Sure, I have the lyrics for the entire musical =)

She says:

"For my fam'lies sake

I'll take what I can take,

I'm only just awake..."

That's according to the OBCR companion booklet =)

[Zshumba]

YAY! Thank you, Feareous!

[Feareous]

You're welcome =)

[XDeadweightX]
