I am looking for new subscribers for the lists I moderate,and I thought I'd drop a line and let everyone know about them. They are all very active lists, but could always use new characters and such, so if you are interested, please join us. We look forward to having you. :-)
We've also got a website these days...visit GO for more info. or to just check out what's there...:-)

Broadway Cafe:
This list is for the discussion of all aspects of theatre..if you are a performer,technician,student,writer,director, or simply a devoted fan, this list is for you. This list was only established about a month ago, so join us now. :-)
Falcons In The Dive:
This list is an RPG dedicated to the "gothic musical". Characters from different musicals set in the 1800's interact with one another...this has quite a number of characters,but as there are so many to choose from, there are still plenty open. :-)
Everything ALW:
This list is an RPG for all of the musicals of Andrew Lloyd Webber. The list has slowed down recently, so we're looking for new characters to bring it back to life. We're a bit heavy on "Cats" at the moment,but we need all sorts of characters...
One Day More:
This list is an RPG similar to "Falcons", only the characters can be from any musical ever created..the possibilities are endless. The RPG is set during the French Revolution..see if your character can survive the bloodshed! This list is one of our newest, but already growing rapidly...join today. :-)

Thanks muchly, and apologies to those of you who get this more than once...I am EVERYWHERE! *lol*

ABC's Annie woos Broadway actors

NEW YORK (Variety) - ``Annie,'' the ABC TV movie that will likely run in November sweeps, has imminent deals with a plethora of Broadway actresses to star.

Tony winners Audra McDonald (``Ragtime,'') and Alan Cumming (``Cabaret'') are being courted to team with Kristin Chenoweth (currently Tony nominated for ``You're A Good Man Charlie Brown'') and Victor Garber (``Art'') in the TV musical.

If deals are signed, Cumming will play the part of Rooster Hannigan; McDonald will portray Grace Farrell; and Chenoweth will play Lilly. Daddy Warbucks will be played by Garber. Chenoweth will take a six-week leave of absence from the ``Charlie Brown'' musical, itself nominated for best revival this season.

The ``Annie'' special already has Academy Award winner Kathy Bates starring as Miss Hannigan and 11-year-old Alicia Morton, who is starring as young Cossette in ``Les Miserables'' on Broadway, as its Annie.
