Hello MTI Showspacers! (spacers, lol)

I was just wondering what you think about the news pouring out for the new revival of H2$? I did this show my sophomore year in High School and played Finch. Here's a couple questions for you:

• What do you think about the cast?
• Do you think Daniel Radcliffe will make a good Finch?
• Do you want to see the show?
• Have you seen any production of H2$ before?

Leave your comments below! I'd love to hear from you guys!

I'm actually pretty excited about this revival. They seem to have a really well rounded cast, and I'm interested in seeing how Dan plays this character. I'm still on the fence about him, having never heard him sing, but as an actor, I think he might be able to pull this character off. Personally, I'd love to see the revival just because I love Ashford's work (Promises, Promises was the first Broadway show I saw.). As for seeing the production before, a local theatre produced the show a few years ago and I ushered for the show. This is absolutely my favorite Loesser show, without a doubt, so I'm interested in seeing how this revival goes off.

Well previews started tonight! I hope the reviews are good. I loved doing the show. There are some videos from two years ago of me doing this show on my YouTube page.

I think Radcliffe will be great as Finch. I've never heard him sing, though, so that is always a question mark.  He's incredibly likable though, and I think that will go a long way.

I played Biggly in High School.  Lots of fun!  The show is a favorite now probably because of doing it in high school.  I wonder if I would love it as much if I was seeing it for the first time now?  My enjoyment of it is both because I like the score, but also because of my personal nostalgia for a great time in high school.  The youngsters sitting near me at the Broadway show last week didn't "get it" really, though everyone seems to enjoy Daniel Radcliffe's performance.

By the way, I proposed to my girlfriend at the last revival of How To Succeed.  Well, she's my wife now, so we are planning to see the revival soon.  Since we got engaged at intermission, I always say that I have no idea what happened in the first act and she has no idea what happened in the second act!
