What happened to DRS? It was once in the 700-800-900 range, not back to the 500's. Is this normal or should I be very, very afraid...

Question--
What's the deal with the audience participation? Is there volunteering or does Short drag a random person onto a stage in front of a gigantic theater audience without giving them a chance to beg not to?

Opening Night
Apr 24
2006, 11:19:57 PM
I was curious as to how any person would be able to get opening night tickets to a Broadway show. Obviously, it is not an option on the internet when ordering tickets and I was wondering if anyone has been to an opening night of a show and how on Earth they got there.
Thanks.

I have yet to see cigarette smoking in a show, at least that I can remember. But there was a ton o' cigar smoking in THE ODD COUPLE. It was a little like being stuffed in that smokey apartment.

Definitely a lot of applause after "Dirty Rotten Number," and also "GBS."
There's usually non-stop laughter during the Old lady/wheelchair dancing in "Along Came Bialy" from THE PRODUCERS.
The laughter lasted quite long after the "Leaf Coneybear has cats" line in SPELLING BEE.

Word: Beullerfied
Definition: Developed around 1986, it is a word given to those kids who were at one time timid and nerdish and would become cool and rebellious.
Sentence: Did you hear Andy got detention last Friday for skipping school...who would ever think that the President of the Chess Club would get so Beullerfied?

Jack Black could handle it, and he would draw major crowds. Wayne Brady seems a bit too cool to play such a sleazebag, but I'd love to see it. Hunter Foster would obviously be a good replacement, as well.
I'd pray for a Jack Black Freddy.

Plus, as Isaac Mizrahi said, it's worth going just to see Amanda Peet in her underwear.
And Patrick Wilson too, for those who may prefer him...

Anyone think there will be a Broadway.com or Yahoo Broadway video of the replacement cast when the critics review it on the 10th? I know there are videos of Hunter Foster and Brad Oscar when they took over...
Anyway, nice review, I hope to see the new(ish) cast asap.

Spamalot vs. The Producers
Feb 26
2006, 11:53:40 AM
Both extremely popular shows, regardless if you actually like them. For those who have seen both, which do you think got more laughs from the audience? After seeing The Producers I thought I had never heard more laughter in a Broadway theater, yet after seeing Spamalot, I don't know. Which do you recall recieving the most laughter when you visited each show?

I don't know why you haven't heard of her, Dollypop. I wouldn't call her a minor Hollywood star, though.
Big roles in the popular "The Whole Nine Yards" (nomination for Blockbuster Entertainment Award) and its sequel, "The Whole Ten Yards." Also big roles in "Igby Goes Down," "Something's Gotta Give," "Melinda and Melinda," and "A Lot Like Love" (Teen Choice Award nomination). Those are just the few that I've seen.
She's the reason I went to see "Barefoot" in the first p

Barefoot in the Park Song
Feb 12
2006, 12:48:49 PM
Just wondering...
Why don't they play the song from the film, "Barefoot in the Park" in the beginning or as the curtain falls for the scene change (when the flowers appear over the curtain). It's quite catchy. Johnny Mercer lyrics and all.

"Jonathan Pryce is just as famous as John Lithgow."
I don't think that's really true.
I had NO idea who Pryce was, and my family just went "sounds familiar." Many know Lithgow from the TV series (whether they liked it or not) "3rd Rock From The Sun" for which he won 3 Emmys as Best Leading Actor in A Comedy Series. When I was younger, I knew him as the voice in Shrek. And many remember him as Colin Hanks' father in "Orange County."

ATTENTION TO ANYONE INVOLVED IN THE CASTING OF DIRTY ROTTEN SCOUNDRELS: If you want your show to run after Norbert Leo Butz is gone, and continue to have an audience, get Jack Black to replace him as Freddy Benson!
