I'm going to the 5:30 show tomorrow. First time seeing it. Anyone know the guests for this weekend? Perhaps I'll buy tix for a second performance.

Those pictures from opening night look like everyone had a blast! I can't wait to see the show!

The guests tonight were Laura Bell Bundy, Anthony Rapp, and Hunter Foster.

Tonight's show was one of the funniest I have seen. Glad DQ is going so well!!

Anyone know who will be at the 8pm show tonight?

My favorite moment last night was 10 year old Trevor Braun (the current Chip in BEAUTY & THE BEAST) performing one of Alexander Bakunin's monologues from THE COAST OF UTOPIA.

Absolutely brilliant.

Of course Anthony & Hunter were a riot as well.

I was at the 5:30 show today. It was hilarious. Today had to be one of the best Madlibs I've seen. It was Will Chase singing Imagine from Lennon.

I contributed Jeepers in madlibs.

Last night and tonight's 8pm show were 2 of the funniest I have seen (and the 5:30 was pretty good too)

Yesterday: Laura Bell Bundy singing "Mama I'm a Big Girl Now" madlibs, the obstacle course of who is the king of Skid Row between Anthony Rapp and Hunter Foster (no idea who won, but Hunter breaking the plant, and Anthony's mad face and seal style riding the big wheel were great), Anthony's backstage story from The King and I (the dead Yul Brenner telling him to speak louder), Noah Weisberg (Exclamation point!), Ronald McDonald's Eulogy, Lisa Jolley (just in general, she's great at everything), The Lion King in 60-30-10 seconds, Hunter Foster in celeb press conference (Tony Danza in Mamma Mia), there's a new opening sketch, Laura Bell Bundy's obscene (grabbing her chest- along with Jason Kravitz's Frazzled reaction to her) and Anthony Rapp's premenstrual in overactor's symphony, I can't remember what else now.

Today 5:30pm: Mo Rocca was in NY2, so it was nice to see David get to play in the shows (Steve to Mo: "You are so much smarter than me"- funniest line of their adlibbing today). Denis Ohare gave his backstage stories about the worst jobs he has had, and was Jackie Gleason in Rent (didn't know the words to Seasons of Love but made it up), NY2's Cheerleader musical, and Playground Adventures (Nancy Opel as Suzanne Somers- selling her merch on QVC- somehow worked in to be very funny, and killing kids), Patrick Henney doing Stars of Tomorrow (Coast of Utopia bit again), Todd Buonopane and Donna Vivino are both just hysterical in anything.

Today 8pm: I loved watching Will Chase in NY2 in "Drunk College Chicks" as a sorority girl, Amy Rutberg's backstage story about being Trudy the Homeless woman and wandering onto the stage during a performance of Blackbird, the musical "Dance Party USA", replay in a bathroom- as a soap opera, action movie, and as a porn (Tara Copeland had me in tears laughing as she "brushed" her teeth), Imagine madlibs by Will Chase (he did it at both shows today, both of which were hysterical), Stephanie DAbruzzo in celeb press conference (as Patti Lupone in The Color Purple- and her actual musical 20 second clip from it was amazing), Foreign Film ("Show me on the doll where he touched you" from France), Tim Cain's "BOOBIES!" during overactor's symphony.

Sandy Rustin is doing an excellent job filling in for Sarah (who is in LA for Spelling Bee for the month); Sandy, David, Steve, and Dan keep it fresh and funny every show, and as everyone works together, they will keep getting better. Great job guys!

Awesome recap, L, thanks!

Thanks so much for posting! It sounds like they were great shows!

Foreign Film ("Show me on the doll where he touched you" from France)

ok, is it so wrong that this is making me laugh so hard? I am going to hell. I like this even more than "Suicide Hotline, On Hold." Yeah, totally going to hell.

Stephanie DAbruzzo in celeb press conference (as Patti Lupone in The Color Purple- and her actual musical 20 second clip from it was amazing)

That is pretty awesome too, would loved to have seen that. You know what these press conference combos make me want sometimes? To be able to see some of these songs just sung straight out by people who will never be cast to sing them in real life- Stephanie is never going to play Celie, yet I think it'd be kinda cool one night to hear her sing "I'm Here" or something. To legit sing the whole song, as an un-audition piece.

I was there for Friday, and something that hasn't been mentioned yet- Trevor's Britney Spears?? That was just all sorts of funny and a little wrong all rolled into one.

Some of my new favorite performers in this core cast are people I have never heard of before. Seems like lots of new people are being worked into the cast now, more diversity than at the beginning. Everyone is amazingly talented, I hope to go see more shows.

Thanks for all the reviews everyone for those of us who can't be there!

I was at the 5:30 show. It's a great transition for those who are trying to get 2 broadway shows in in one day. The cast was great and the venue seemed pretty full. TDF tickets were fantastic and there was no food/drink minimum if you bought your tickets through TDF. I'll definitely be back!

I was also at the 5:30 yesterday and agree, great inbetween-show entertainment. Dennis O'Hare was good. Got my tix free from GoldStar Events. I'd revisit.

Wait - WHAT - I was in the same room as liotte and we didn't meet each other?? BOOOOOOO!!

I'm SO mad I missed Hunter/LBB/Rapp that night. I wanted to come back. But CORAM BOY was worth it. I'm working with Hunter this summer, anyway, too. Thought seems like that was a great night.

I have to say I was disappointed with Will Chase, who seemed to take a backseat throughout the show - EXCEPT his "Imagine" song which was great.

I was there the other night for LBB, Hunter and Anthony! One of the best DQ's I've seen! I think my favorite skit was "suicide hotline...please hold!" as a musical. Lisa Jolley is just brilliant as is Jason Kravits! The two of them together just make such a good pair onstage. Noah Weisberg was wonderful in his first show. I also really enjoyed over actors symphany...between Noah's "irritable bowel syndrome," Sandy's "I wish I had irritable bowel syndrome" and Laura's obscene I was laughing SO hard!

Can't wait for tonight's show:)

Does anyone know where to find listings of the guest lineup? I signed up for the newsletter weeks ago but still haven't gotten anything about it.

Thanks.
