I have not seen the play nor did I know a thing about this cast. I had only heard mention of it passingly on the board, so I downloaded it. I am still processing it. The moment that rocked me to the core was the wailing mother, loading the body of her child into the backseat of her car.
Sara Ramirez played two different characters on SVU. Sieber did a skit at Don't Quit Your Night Job in which he practices for his L&O audition. Apparently, it wasn't that he'd never auditioned. He just never got cast.
While not the golden age (since those days have been addressed), there are things I miss. I miss the great nemesis duos, like Namo vs. Rath. I miss papalovesmambo just getting a wild hair and doing whatever he could to get suspended for a while.
It's Barbara Cook. Who CARES who the guest stars are? Barbara. Cook. I called her and she said it was no one special, but that you should purchase tickets and give them to someone who doesn't care who it is.
I almost always go in spoiled unless we grab tickets day-of at TKTS or the box office. I get too excited about a show and want to know as much as possible. My most pleasantly surprising cold show was N2N. I knew I Miss The Mountains. Who didn't? But I didn't really know the story or the big twist. I normally see that stuff coming a mile away. Because of that, despite the show's flaws, it won me over. It was a true theatre experience and one of my favorites.
The new iPhone app is great, too. It's a lot easier to navigate and better visually. Is there any chance of implementing a "keep me logged in" feature? It's a pain to have to log in every time you relaunch the app and would like to post or comment.
Those tourists who love and get giddy over the big budget shows that you think are garbage are a big part of why some of the smaller shows get a chance. Let them have their joy. Keep their money coming. Stop being pretentious a$$holes.
I saw recent photo of Sara from a fundraiser she's doing and she was pretty thin. Since her best friend died a few years ago, she's really been trying to get healthier. She did some interview that made it sound like she was, at least mostly, a vegetarian now. She also said Evita is her dream role. I am sure she'll be back on Broadway when GA tanks, which has to be soon. http://twitpic.com/8wdmxd
