re: do you think the people in Phantom get tired of the show

I do wonder this also. I still love Phantom of the Opera because I have so many memories of going to the show with my grandfather when I was very young. However the last time I went I saw an understudy that had been in the show for 20 years. I can't believe that he's been doing that same show since I was 4 years old. Now that's job security.

The 1994 Broadway production of Carousel was my first Broadway show. I was 8. It was thrilling and I still remember each nuance of Audra's performance exactly.

hahahaha I love it. Especially that it was captured on tape. I'm sure she'd just love that.

I saw it - I thought it was very good for a small theater, but would not have liked it on Broadway or as a movie. Maybe if they made it into more of a teen movie, it might be good. Some of the songs need work, though.

re: who gets to go to the opening night party?

a real answer:
everyone who worked on the show in any aspect. and buying a ticket is not working on the show. everyone from producers to actors, to electricians, to orchestra members, to ushers of the theater, to box office employees, to the merchandising kids, to the workers of the disney/nederlander office...
but the line stops just before buying a ticket. sorry.

re: Boorish fans at stage doors

I once had a job where I exited from the stage door every night. It was a show that had a few stars. Once in a while, it got very chaotic, so there were usually cops there to help in case anything went wrong. One night I got smashed against the barricade and a cop had to lift me out. Boorish is a perfect word for it. Get the hell off of me, I wasn't even in the damn show!

That would definitely do it -- as the show went on, Anneliese was getting more and more mobbed. By the end of the show, forget about it.

Row E on the side for TLM might be a little icky. The theater is fairly small, most any seat is a good seat - but the ones on the side might make you miss out on a little bit.

re: contacting directors?
Mar 28
2008, 04:22:28 PM
Directors are almost never around much after Opening Night, but I'm sure if anyone would know where to forward it, it would be the Stage Door. There's most definitely a forwarding address of some kind, especially if the show isn't too old. If it's not a famous director, you could actually try the Yellow Pages. I've had friends who have had great luck with email, so doing your research and finding an address might not be so hard either, especially if they teach.
