Hi Patronus!

I got a notice in the mail a while ago for ACL, and I could almost swear it was billed as a limited run, but I've been wrong before.

I thought ACL was open-ended as well... Don't tickets go on sale in 6 month blocks, just to gauge interest?

So sorry to hear that Norbert was out, DG! That's a huge disappointment!

Welcome back Patronus!

When I first moved out here there was a tour of Phantom at the Pantages and I had never seen it before so I bought tickets for Wednesday of the final week to see Davis Gaines.

I get there that night and Gaines is out, so I asked them to swap tickets. They only had comparable seats for Friday night so I agreed. I get there and not only was Davis Gaines out - but I also had understudies for Christine & Raoul. I fell asleep during the first act and left at intermission.

Eta: Hi Cookie! Hi Shameless!

Can I just say that I find it highly amusing that DG has a "non-smoking" avatar in the "Can the adults please smoke?" thread. REBEL!

That looks fabulous. I'm famished!

Good news. The official website does not mention a closing date.

I've had the billed star out of a show, and was able to swap tickets (Donna Murphy many absences in Wonderful Town)

Eat up Patronus!

Good to know, Shamey. Lord knows when I'll get there.

I think I might try to see some shows next week while I'm off. I should go check ticket availability.

Good morning to everyone I missed earlier!

Crazy day here - I'm ready to start singing "Little Girls" from Annie.

Oh, DG, what a disappointment. I guess Mamie heard correctly.

Shamey - when does Les Miz open?

Mmmmm, bacon! You're the best cookie!

[kissmycookie]

Posted: 8/24/06 at 10:47am

You should have been given an option of bacon or sausage, Patronus!

Moony! Don't forget to breathe!

[Bluemoon]

Posted: 8/24/06 at 10:51am

BREATHE?!?!?

What the hell is breathe? I'll put it on my to-do list.

[shameless]

Posted: 8/24/06 at 10:51am

Hi Moony!

Previews start 10/21, opening night 11/09.

[Patronus]

Posted: 8/24/06 at 10:55am

While we are on the subject of shows...has anyone seen [title of show]? I've been giving some thought to seeing it next weekend.

[DG]

Patronus - the funny thing is, I was always one of the very few adults that actually DID smoke!

And, by the way, it makes perfect sense for us to obssess over CHORUS LINE, as that's the inspiration for our little corner of the world. Robbie should make an appearance when it opens to commemorate!

Posted: 8/24/06 at 11:04am

Moony needs an oxygen mask...

Wish I could give you insight on that, Patronus, but I've not seen it...

[Bluemoon]

Posted: 8/24/06 at 11:06am

"Previews start 10/21, opening night 11/09."

And so when are we going?

Cookie - could you breathe for me today?

[Patronus]

Posted: 8/24/06 at 11:07am

Well, good for you for quitting DG. My parents both smoke like trains and I never noticed it until I left the nest. When I go home to visit, I can barely breathe. I'm sure you feel much better now!

*huffs and puffs*

Edited: Breathing for Moony... Not smoking!

Sorry about the 'all-cap' presentation - I was too lazy to change it from the e-mail!

I AM THANKFUL:

FOR THE WIFE
WHO SAYS IT'S HOT DOGS TONIGHT,
BECAUSE SHE IS HOME WITH ME,
AND NOT OUT WITH SOMEONE ELSE.

FOR THE HUSBAND
WHO IS ON THE SOFA
BEING A COUCH POTATO,
BECAUSE HE IS HOME WITH ME
AND NOT OUT AT THE BARS.

FOR THE TEENAGER
WHO IS COMPLAINING ABOUT DOING DISHES
BECAUSE IT MEANS SHE IS AT HOME,
NOT ON THE STREETS.

FOR THE TAXES I PAY
BECAUSE IT MEANS
I AM EMPLOYED.

FOR THE MESS TO CLEAN AFTER A PARTY
BECAUSE IT MEANS I HAVE
BEEN SURROUNDED BY FRIENDS.

FOR THE CLOTHES THAT FIT A LITTLE TOO SNUG
BECAUSE IT MEANS
I HAVE ENOUGH TO EAT.

FOR MY SHADOW THAT WATCHES ME WORK
BECAUSE IT MEANS
I AM OUT IN THE SUNSHINE

FOR A LAWN THAT NEEDS MOWING,
WINDOWS THAT NEED CLEANING,
AND GUTTERS THAT NEED FIXING
BECAUSE IT MEANS I HAVE A HOME.

FOR ALL THE COMPLAINING
I HEAR ABOUT THE GOVERNMENT
BECAUSE IT MEANS
WE HAVE FREEDOM OF SPEECH..

FOR THE PARKING SPOT
I FIND AT THE FAR END OF THE PARKING LOT
BECAUSE IT MEANS I AM CAPABLE OF WALKING
AND I HAVE BEEN BLESSED WITH TRANSPORTATION.

FOR MY HUGE HEATING BILL
BECAUSE IT MEANS
I AM WARM.

FOR THE LADY BEHIND ME IN CHURCH
WHO SINGS OFF KEY BECAUSE IT MEANS
I CAN HEAR.

FOR THE PILE OF LAUNDRY AND IRONING
BECAUSE IT MEANS
I HAVE CLOTHES TO WEAR.

FOR WEARINESS AND ACHING MUSCLES
AT THE END OF THE DAY
BECAUSE IT MEANS I HAVE BEEN
CAPABLE OF WORKING HARD.

FOR THE ALARM THAT GOES OFF
IN THE EARLY MORNING HOURS
BECAUSE IT MEANS I AM ALIVE.

Jungle - as I go through SERIOUS withdrawl, I'm trying to remember to be thankful for things
