MiG said that the last he heard was the Handel's Messiah Rocks would be on at Easter time, which disappointed him because he had been told earlier that it would be at Christmastime. We'll just have to wait a little longer.

I'm just glad to hear that is still going to be on!!! I imagine it missed the Christmas season for production/voiceover reasons. These things always take forever, and I'm sure they are being extra picky if it's going to be made into a dvd. It just occurred to me, if it's a dvd, maybe there will some extra goodies, like interviews, out-takes, and backstage antics!!!!! One can hope.

While scrolling though cyberspace today I decided to see if I could find an update on Handel's Messiah Rocks since I'm not finding it on a listing to be shown on PBS in the next two weeks and came across this. I'm assuming that Mr. Lockhart is booking his orchestra/etc (not including his stars for the night in September) for productions of this since this is a booking page but the point is, here is a long clip with LOTS of MiG in it. Be warned it's a ratehrh long clip and takes a while to load (a couple minutes) so be patient. www.handelsmessiahrocks.com/ I know there are a couple clips on You Tube but neither of them are as long as this one.

Still no word that I can find as to when this will be televised nationally, nor any tour dates, venues, cast...I hope we hear soon.

As you know I have been big time disappointed that there is no airdate in Columbus for HMR and also disappointed not to be in NYC for the gigs this weekend. My guardian angel Joyce came to my rescue #thsmiley_bouncetrampoline# and taped HMR and mailed it to me. #thyourock# I watched it after work yesterday #smiley2# I loved it It was quite a production. MiG was excellent of course and they showed Simmy in the audience 2-3 times with the biggest smile on her face watching MiG. She is so adorable. The audience was polite and respectful at first but by the middle of the production they were clapping and singing along and just having a great time. They use area choirs in the production and the pops and the rock band along with the singers were superb. MiG does a promo for PBS that is very cute during one of the fundraising breaks. If they show it here, i think I will buy a copy of the DVD-it includes a song not on the aired tape and behind the production scenes. It is a bit expensive at $75 but does support PBS which we use a lot in my family so all is good. Guess I will need to skip a few lunches so that will be a win win. They said 50 cities are confirmed for the tour. I hope 1_) MIG will be touring and 2) it comes to columbus or somewhere I can get to.
Anyway-Great job MiG! I loved your part in the production!! and Joyce, I dont' know how I can ever thank you enough!!

It was no trouble at all, MB! I knew how badly you wanted to see it and how disappointed you were to not make it to NYC...

Just wondering if anyone has been able to ferret out any new news about the Messiah tour, venues, dates, CAST? ? I've had no luck so far.

MB, Did you get your copy of the DVD yet? If not, it's a whole lot cheaper on Amazon!!

Donna, I have heard that the schedule will be posted to the choir members sometime in December. I don't know if that will be a public posting or not.

I'm just praying MiG is in the cast and they come close enough for me to go see it with my entourage in tow! #please#
