Profile for fanatic3

I was at the performance on Tuesday, Sept. 14. The night of the (re)opening. I am a fanatic and was DETERMINED to be in a theater, to see any show, on Sept 14 and Chicago was the only ticket I could get. It was the most expensive ticket I have ever bought and I had seen Chicago twice already. And it was WORTH EVERY PENNY. 

I will keep this brief. I had seen Chicago once with stunt casting gone awry. Oooofh. Then I saw it soon after that and I think the trauma of the stunt casting

This thread makes me so happy! It almost brought tears to my eyes and I try to envision how exquisite SC must have been on stage. I LOVE the movie -- it's one of my favorite movies of all time -- and I love HER so much. It's fascinating to learn all the others who played/turned down the roles and how the performances were perceived. I wish I had seen it on stage but I did not.

I can picture in my head SC turning in sync with the painting even though I haven't actually seen

Also regarding National Theater, the bottom step coming down into the lobby on both sides is calibrated (not the right word but you hopefully know what I mean) wrong and at the end of each show they have ushers by each stairwell reminding people to watch their step. But each time I go there (and I go there a lot) I see someone take a tumble and I'm shocked they haven't been able to fix that. It's such a dangerous thing and someone could sue them and would win.

I saw Waitress at the National Theater in DC on Saturday. I know it's not Broadway and I know Katherine McPhee is amazing on Broadway but I thought the show was very well done. Very cute. Like I said before, I LOVED the movie and wasn't interested in seeing it on stage. But it's been on Broadway for while now and I thought it wouldn't be terrible.

Desi was amazing. She Used To Be Mine is truly the saddest song. I loved t

Not that anyone cares, or asked, but I'm a closure freak so wanted to post one last time.

I saw Kinky Boots. I was only in NYC Tuesday - Thursday so I had three opportunities to see shows and Tuesday night was DEH. Amazing. What else is there to say that hasn't already been said?

So that left me Wednesday matinee and Wednesday night. And I wanted to see Beautiful because I sing Carole King songs and wanted to get background and backstory about the songs, etc. I really do

I live in DC. So everything pretty much comes to DC when they tour. And I live so close to NYC that anytime I want to go I go. I definitely want to see Beautiful because during my singing lessons I sometimes sing Carole King. I'm hoping if some of the background of the writing of the songs will be explained in the show and that will make my singing richer. Or at least I can share the background with my coach.

I'm leaning toward Kinky Boots though I wonder if Waitress will c
