Please help me call on the theater gods tomorrow night for my beloved TinMan. He, and all the other actors, need their help.

Okay, I'll go first.

Shots...Baileys and Tequila together. Not sure how I feel about them.

Morning.

It was probably mentioned somewhere in the thread, but what show is the Tinman doing?

So, is the cast not prepared or something? Why do they need prayers so badly? Has this been mentioned here, and I completely missed the whole thing?

[Q]

Posted: 4/9/10 at 2:42pm

I haven't gone into details, Girly - it would take too long! Suffice to say, this show's production team was/is completely incompetent - to a staggering level. If there's any kind of presentation this evening, it is going to be due entirely to cast members who simply pull it from deep within. That is, of course, if they don't kill themselves trying to get around in a blackout on a set that was changing even last night (final dress!)

[bdwaygirl]

Oh, my. So I guess if the majority of the cast was in agreement about it all, there was no chance of them staging a mutiny earlier?

You can tell I've never done theatre of any kind, but I could just see me gathering the troops and restaging the show behind their backs, so when curtain went up, the production team saw a show they were not remotely familiar with.

Seriously, mega good thoughts for a fab show to all of them!!

Congrats DEET!

Q - I'm praying for the TinMan. And you.

Last night ended up involving a bottle of amazing wine, so I will be giving my liver a break tonight.

Q, the bubbly's on ice for you and TinMan.

[shira467]

Posted: 4/9/10 at 11:21pm

Q probably has a cooler of bubbly on ice WITH him.

Q had his flask full of bourbon, thank you very much.

As to the show - in a nutshell: the TinMan is entirely credible in the role, and sang it beautifully. He would have benefitted from some direction, but that can be said of the entire production. There is some serious talent on the stage, and it all just sort of sits there, looking for an outlet.

The "set design/concept" is one of the ugliest things I've ever seen on a stage - and a complete antithesis to what is needed for this piece. Combine that with a disastrous lack of directorial awareness - if you can find evidence of any - and it was pretty pathetic.

BUT, the costumes were actually quite lovely, and the cast was working as hard as they could. SO, you ended up having an experience, but just barely.

The two men responsible for the nonsense should be completely embarrassed, but the cast really can hold their heads high for having made at least SOMETHING out of . . . well, it was more than nothing, really.

[D2]

Posted: 4/10/10 at 8:43am

You want me to come out there and whip that show into shape, Q?

[Q]

Posted: 4/10/10 at 10:46am

I think they'd be better off just throwing out all of the "set" and playing it on a blank stage.

But, yes, I'd like you to come out - just because!

[shira467]

Posted: 4/11/10 at 2:51am

If Deet comes out, I'll bring everyone a flask of bourbon. Or just a flask, because the bourbon might be drunken already...so Deet, you'd best hurry up.

Guess who just got back today?
Them wild-eyed boys that had been away
Haven't changed, haven't much to say
But man, I still think them cats are crazy

The boys are back in town
The boys are back in town
I said
The boys are back in town
The boys are back in town
The boys are back in town

[Q]

Posted: 4/11/10 at 2:56am

Glad everyone is home safely.

[shira467]

Posted: 4/11/10 at 2:59am

Welcome back, boys! I can't wait to hear the stories. And if they're too salacious for BWW, I expect emails!

[bdwaygirl]

Posted: 4/11/10 at 3:03am

Yes, especially with things having heated up the past couple days over there!

Vanessa Williams. Directly across from me at The West Branch Restaurant. And yes, Shira, I'm posting at the table. :P

Posted: 4/11/10 at 12:52pm

I'll forgive your table manners, Deetie. Tell Vanessa hello from me.
Me and the poddie are safely home and no bail money was needed.
We got out just in time.
