... was disappointing.
NLB wasn't in last night's performance and only Jonathan Pryce and Gregory Jbara came out. None of the women...

Posted: 2/24/06 at 1:27pmso, the whole show sucked cause one guy was out and only two actors came out? what about the ensemble people? and how was Norbert's understudy? how was the whole show?

no, the show was great... a very good time.
the stage door was disappointing. it was cold and a bunch of people were waiting for a long time before the guy told us no one else was coming out.
the u/s for norbert was actually really good. very funny, good voice.

Joanna does come out of the stage door but infrequently. She was coming out more when it was warmer, but with it being so cold in ny no one is really coming out of the DRS stage door.
I saw it last weekend and thankfully got down there early enough to catch Norbert who came out for 2 secs and ran back in. Rachel York came out and started to walk away but I asked her to sign my playbill and was EXTREMEly friendly and signed. Jonathan Price also came out, signed very quickly with his own pen and ran to his SUV waiting to take him away. Otherwise no one really came out of the stage door.
But it was ok I got to meet Rachel York which was really cool, and most of my reasoning for stage dooring the show anyway.

Posted: 2/24/06 at 4:29pmmy experience is that Joanna does come out, but when i've seen her, she's been "hidden" by coats or scarves or hats or something. she stands in the middle of the crowd and no one even notices her. i did...but i didn't say anything to her. i just watched as everyone walked by her and toward the stage door as she looked for and found her driver and left. it was funny to watch.
So long status quo/

Joanna actually made a rare stage door appearance on Tuesday night. There were only a couple of us there, and she was really sweet, signing and taking pictures.
Was your understudy for the performance Jason Gillman or Joe Cassidy?
I'm just...not...gonna get in the whole stage door argument.

Posted: 2/24/06 at 5:44pmIs there usually a big stagedoor crowd? I'm seeing DRS in April.
If Percy Blakeney were in Les Mis....
Percy: Sink me! If it isn't Javvurt!
Javert: Zsah-vair, it's pronounced Zsah-vair.
Pecry: But it's spelled J-A-V-E-R-T Javvurt.
Javert: Repeat after me Zsah...Zsah....
Percy: Oh! Zsa-Zsa! Like the Gabor sister! Well I personally have always prefered Eva.
Javert: (Looks for gun)

Posted: 2/24/06 at 5:54pmLately there hasn't been as a bit of a side effect of the construction around the Richard Rodgers theatre, but there's no way to know for sure. At one point a school came out of the show and stood by the stage door before boarding the bus, which made it packed! But those circumstances aside, it really hasn't been too crowded lately.
