As of this past week, everyone was in and well.
You could very well see ensemble and fairy tale creatures out with their swings, etc. in. As far as the leads go, I can't speculate anything. You never know!

re: For Those of You Who Have Seen 'Billy Elliot' at the Imperial Theatre..

It appeared to be a small theatre to me, so I can't imagine any seat would be too bad.
I saw on the right side, all the way to the side I believe in...5th row? The smoke bothered me, but any second-hand smoke bugs me big time.
The stage was VERY low- I can't say I've ever seen a lower stage if my memory serves me correctly. I agree it appeared to be about eye level with the 1st row. Before the show there was a rather rude lady who was actually sitting on the edge of the stage, just to

"Also, pardon my ignorance but how exactly does one get comps other than knowing someone. I've read about papering sites, but I don't know where to find those. Thanks."
Dito..I feel ignorant and low asking, but I'm very interested in this? I've never heard of sites. If anyone has any info, please share? Thanks!

Before I got to the replacement casting of the 1st Natl. Tour, I thought this was for real...Even though so many of those names seemed ridiculous. But hey, it was nice to believe Jenny Powers was going to tour with the show :] HA.

Before the cast was announced I was pretty much dreading this...but since Sutton is in it I know have reason to see it. The orchestra tests are pretty good! Agreed, the lyrics do need some work...but they have time to revise. I'm rather excited now! The cast is just fantastic!

Hm. I recognized Robyn Hurder at a stage door other than her own back in 2007. She was the sweetest!
Not Broadway, but in February 2007 I recognized Kate Fahrner (WICKED in Chicago. Glinda for some weeks before Annaleigh) on a train platform. Before I knew her and before she knew who I was...she was on her phone but I approached her anyway, and she ended her call and talked with me the whole ride until she reached her destination. She was (and still is!) the sweetest!

re: When is Christian Borle leaving Legally Blonde? And how can I meet him?

2008, 05:27:15 PM
To make a long story short, I stage doored BEFORE a performance back in July 2007 so I could get Becky & Richard. I decided if I caught Christian I'd ask him too. So up he walked, I asked for a photo and autograph, and he seemed very sweet and gracious, especially considering the fact that this was before a show. Up until now I had never heard anything about him not stage dooring, nor had I heard about him doing so either.
Anyway. I agree an actor should not be required to exit the sta

I don't pay attention to weekly numbers and attendence and such, but Spamalot has been doing a lot of 'stunt' casting recently, and I wouldn't be totally surprised if it didn't last to 2009. As soon as Clay left they brought in Stephen & Drew...just a top of the head assumption it's not at it's best.

re: is sending a birthday card considered stalking

I personally wouldn't find it creepy. I'd be flattered...at least, at this point in time I would be. But there is nothing wrong with sending a sweet, simple note with well birthday wishes.
...Scrapbooks are not always a good thing, but some actors do keep them! Condensed version of a story I could make long: There is this actress, and I started out as a fan. I recognized her in NYC blocks away from her theatre, and it went from there...we chatted, exchanged emails, and she got us tickets to

re: Smallest stage time for an actor in a show?

Well, if stand-bys don't count...
I agree with those who have mentioned Teen Angel in Grease. That is for sure the least amount of time I recall an actor on stage in a show I've seen. Less than 5 minutes...Wow. Stephen is very good, though!

I used to type fan letters...granted, legibility and ease, but I find it more sincere, real and dear when it's hand written, especially if it's a long letter...The actors may take you more serious and find you to be a true fan, haha. If I were the one getting the letters, I'd much appreciate hand written notes, so I look at it that way. Now whenever I send to ANYONE I always put up with the pain and write out my lengty letters :]
