Mamie, I don't think any of us, at least in this thread, commented on your new DRS reviews post. Those (the majority anyway) were wonderful. As you may know, I pulled five wonderful new quotes about Greg to add to the site's page with the DRS review quotes.

You can tell how intelligent a theatre critic is by how much they appreciate Greg Jbara's talents. :)

Seriously Barb. DRS has been the best reviewed show this year!

Well, at least they're getting more of the reviews they deserve now, and people are admitting they way it's been overshadowed.

Thanks to you all for the kind words about Shani. She is a sweetheart and a princess (she has 4 brothers!) As for her project, she came the other day with an assignment. She needed to write a biography report. To begin with she had to write questions with which to interview someone. As we were writing the questions we discussed whom she would like to interview. At first she thought she would do me or my husband but I pointed out that she already knew everything about us. This was right after my backstage tour with Greg (which I had not stopped talking about) so she said she would love to do it on him. Based on how sweet he had been to us already I figured it wouldn't hurt to ask him, so I sent him an email explaining what she had to do and asking if he would be OK with doing it. He said "SURE!" but that the best thing would be to email him the questions as he was very busy and wasn't sure if he would be able to do it in person before it was due. So, she finished her questions and we sent them to him. The only ohter thing we needed was a picture with him to put in so we arranged to meet him today before the show to get the picture. He told Shani that he would have the answers for her soon and then she can write her report. I can guarantee that she will be the only one in her class to be doing her report on a Braodway/TV/movie star. This will (if it hasn't already) give her a huge boost of confidence, which is something she could use. School (mostly reading and writing) is a little more difficut for her than for other kids and this is such an amazing opportunity/experience for her. We are so grateful to Greg for being so warm and kind to her and for all the time he is taking in helping her. He invited her (an the rest of the family) back for a tour at another time. She can't wait!

That's absolutely WONDERFUL Malki. After Shani has finished her report, would you ask her if it would be all right if we read it? We always like reading new things about Greg and we would all love to read her report!

MAMIE, I think that can be arranged. I was planning on giving Greg a copy of it too. I am looking forward to the answers to some of Shni's questions, my favorite one being "how often do you clecn your room?" (Most of them are more informative but that was a great 8 year old question!)

Oh, and now that I know that he loves chocolate and peanut butter, I have a friend who makes the most amazing Chocolate Peanut Butter Balls. I think I might just have to get that recipe. Updated On: 3/12/06 at 09:06 PM

Thanks! She does have gorgeous hair. She is too young to realkly appreciate it though.

If Greg likes chocolate and peanut butter as much as everyone says, then I am sure he will be thrilled with All the treats we give him! You will probably get them to him before I do as I don't have the recipe yet!

While we are waiting for Greg's surprise let me just say that I now know why I love Greg so much. He cleans the kitchen.

[JbaraFan1]

Posted: 3/15/06 at 3:18pm

lol He's awesome.

[Malki5]

Posted: 3/15/06 at 3:23pm

Yup! Any man who is willing to clean the kitchen is awesome in my book.

And it doesn't hurt that he can make me laugh and is fun to look at. Updated On: 3/15/06 at 03:23 PM

I checked with Greg on the CONVICTION air date, and he has confirmed that it is April 21st. He said that is what he was told on set. So Greg fans, be sure to tune in to NBC on Friday April 21 @ 10 PM Eastern! :)

Thanks for the update Barb! I will have to tape it.

I am going to DRS again on March 29th! I keep telling my husband that this will be the last time, but somehow I keep going. This time I am going with a friend from my BFO/Hugh days. She only saw DRS when it was in previews so she wanted to go again with me as an early birthday present (my birthday is actually in July and I am hoping to go at least one more time around then since it is the week before Greg leaves - just don't tell my husband LOL).

I mentioned on the other thread that I KNEW it was going to be 4/21 because that's the only night (that I'm aware of) that I absolutely won't be home and can't watch it. I'm jinxed!

[wickedrentq]

Posted: 3/16/06 at 12:08pm

Mamie, not sure how much you stick around the love thread...so did you see my post where I said of course I will tape it for you, and send you the tape?

[Mamie]

Posted: 3/16/06 at 1:46pm

Oh thank you! I definitely do appreciate it, PANDA!!!!

Posted: 3/16/06 at 5:18pm

It's nice for the first time in my life really liking what people call me.

But...remind me!! Like...5 minutes before!

Posted: 3/16/06 at 8:00pm

so the new video about pryce's opening night had me in TEARS pretty much.

"uhhhhhh i'm from nebraska and it's my birthday"
greg is so charming!

[Mamie]

Posted: 3/16/06 at 8:04pm

How do I remind you? I WON'T BE HOME!!!

[wickedrentq]

You do know of a little inventioned called a "cell phone." A wondrous invention, you should look into it. It's amazing because it's portable...you could use it, and make calls w/ it, even when you're not home!

[JbaraFan1]

Posted: 3/17/06 at 12:13pm

Amanda, is there a feature on your phone where you could set a reminder alarm or message that would go off prior to time for Greg's episode to start and remind you?

Obviously I can't tape it for Mamie since I'll be taping it for myself (sorry, but it's Greg,after all!) ... on regular VCR tape, can't copy it (no 2nd vcr).

[wickedrentq]

Posted: 3/17/06 at 1:13pm

If it is, I don't know about it. I could try...

But come to think of it, I should be good, assuming I'm gonna watch anyway. Unless I totally forget to watch it, then Mamie and I are both screwed...but I put it in my calendar...and I may have a party that night, but then I'll ensure my mom tapes it anyway. So then i could watch it for me, then send it to Mamie

[Malki5]

Posted: 3/17/06 at 1:26pm

I'm gonna try to tape it as well since I don't watch TV on Friday night. If I do and i can make a copy I will gladly send it to whomever needs it.

Haven't seen mention of this on the threads here and would hate for fans who haven't visited the web site recently to miss this ...
interview with Greg will air on XM Satellite Radio's On Broadway channel 28 on Thursday March 23, Noon and 9 PM Eastern. Greg's site has a couple of photos, courtesy of XM Radio, of Greg and some XM folks.
(For more info about XM radio follow the links to the XM site, read their FAQ, as to system requirements for listening in online, etc.)

... Anyway, hope many of you can tune in, either via your satellite radios, or online.

I saw this on the site but will probably miss it. I am not home at noon and we are driving up to Toronto on Thursday night. Now I wish we had gotten the satellite radio in the car....
