Tofu, you should get a FaceBook! I won't be able to add you (long story), but if you add Schmerg... you get to see my real face!

Well, there's an incentive.
Hello ladies! I haven't made a post in a long while. So we opened Much Ado About Nothing and today is closing night
. My thoat hurts like a b*tch. I don't know how I'm going to sing today. So I was on as Sexton yesterday and had a major line flub. I said "And this is more sirs that you can deny. Pgfuioxdnskdsfnfoisnb Prince John in this manner accused and in this manner refused...and upon the grief of this, Hero suddenly died." This is the real line: "And this is more, masters, than you can deny. Prince John is this morning secretly stolen away. Hero was in this manner accused and in the manner refused, and upon the grief of this, suddenly died." I wanted to die. It was really embarrassing.
@Jazzy..........LMAO about hobo-Chris....and why wouldn't you be able to add tofu?
Aw, SAMN! Don't beat yourself up about it. Everyone, and I mean EVERYONE, screws lines up now and again. Not to mention that it's Shakespeare, so I'm guessing the bulk of the audience had no idea.
I don't know, I think I would have spotted that "Pgfuioxdnskdsfnfoisnb," is a famous quote from The Merchant of Venice, not Much Ado.
Oh, Shakespeare's the best playwright for balls-ing up though. We rewrote half of MAAN this summer, but because we'd developed the art of "just keep going", I'm sure the audience didn't notice. Unless they were paying VERY close attention, in which case they'd've noticed that in our version, Hero was now to marry Don Pedro and Claudio was the big bad. XD Likewise, I once saw an Othello that was surtitled for deaf audiences, and it was only because of the wild differences between the words on the screen and the words coming out of the actors' mouths that I noticed Iago generally didn't know what he was meant to be saying at any given time, and Gratiano and Lodovico had been combined into one. :3 Even the likes of Patrick Stewart tend to go in for *ahem* "paraphrasing".
Hi there ladies.
I just wanted to share that I witnessed an amazing performace of RoA tonight (more details in the love thread) and I think I almost had a heart attack when I got to see Mitch Jarvis at the stage door. Thankfully he was so wiped that I was deterred from making to big an ass of myself. God do I like that man <3
Of course, haha.
Mostly just of everyone, they all seemed pretty tired & in a bit of a rush to head home, but they were nice all the same.
But I just couldn't forgive myself if I let Mitch get away without taking a picture, the one of him and my brother came out SOO great, but my brother doesnt really do pictures so the one of me isn't as good :-/ Once I upload them all I'll probably post over in the love thread, and of course on Facebook.
<3
Oh schmergie, I love you. :)
Bumps <3
Why so slow ladies?
I don't know, but it's been dead everywhere lately.
Yeah! The whole board's been sleepy. I wish I had exciting news to spice things up, but alas.
yep. just jumping on to agree. It's slow all over. I don't have a lot to ad on any of the threads right now.
Well, let me ex;ain all of the fascinating occurances of my life at the moment:

Ummm.....I get my hard earned pay tomorrow. Does that count as exciting, or is it just exciting for me cuz I'm totally broke?
I know! I've been waiting for people to comment back on my threads, to no avail. Aside from my MJ-High that I'm hanging onto, nothing much has changed.
Tofu - Paychecks are always a good thing, don't knock it.
WithoutLove - Have fun in the city! Whatcha doing down there? Sunday was so gorgeous, it was a treat to be able to stage door in November and not catch hypothermia.
Schmerg - Lol Narnia
I'm going to see Ragtime and pretty much just hanging around the city for a day!

Is it sad that I started tearing while up watching it? The music is so beauitful and the opening number is explosive. I'm hoping the revival does a tour so I can see it.
I just noticed that BWW changed what you see when you click on someone's profile...it doesn't seem to show any of the posts you make in the off-topic board, just the main board. I find that kind of annoying for some reason...
Oh, and you can also see how many times someone viewed your profile! I guess that's helpful if you think you are a stalking target...
Hope everyone is well...it seems really quiet around here lately.
