Ok, so Lincoln Theatre is a huge theatre, the stage is on the ground, it's raised a little less than a foot from the ground with the usual stadium seating. The stage is huge, so the wings are sort of big (also so that dancers can begin off stage).
So at the starts of the show, during the overture, I'm out in the wings making sure the actors are fine and costumes are in place. Today wasn't full so house left was completely empty, except for one guy sitting all the way at the end of the row closest to the wall in the first row. I thought nothing of it, perhaps an usher. So some actors run offstage after Lonely Town and tell me that there's this guy, that guy, reading a magazine throughout the whole number. So we're already confused.
Then comes the scene in Hildy's apartment where Chip and Hildy bring in market bags filled with food (plastic props obviously) for the I Can Cook Too number. The girl who plays Lucy Schmeeler is standing in the first wing and waiting for her cue when suddenly this man, who was wearing pink shorts and a back back, stands up. Steps on to the stage (he was seated in house left, so now he steps onto stage right, while the scene was going on stage left) and walk across the stage and up to the actors playing Chip and says, "Hey, can I have some food?" Being smart, Chip says, "Yeah!", and hands him a plastic loaf of bread as boy in pink shorts walks off the stage and into the vaum.
So, I was standing with the ASM and she hears the SM explain what just happened as I get a text message from my friend who's in the pit ask me who just walked across the stage. So they caught the guy and called Public Safety. Public Safety called the police. The police arrested him for disruption of peace or something like that.
But that's not the end of it...
...The SM confronted the guy in cuffs and asked him why he did it. He responded, "I did it as a class project." Then the question arose again and he responded by saying, "It was my only way to demonstrate my artistic abilities and love for music."
No joke, this is all true and fact. I think it's the craziest thing EVER!
The plastic loaf is back in the crews hand, it was returned
But most impotantly: did you get any of what he was smoking?
That's rather crazy (and pretty funny as well). Certainly a memorable performance!

Ivan starts his new job tomorrow and I've got a lunch date with my friend Jay.
His band performed on The Late Late Show tonight. It's a repeat of an older episode.
GO WICKED TINKERS!
Good morning, all!
Good morning, avs.
I just got into this argument on gay.com with this guy who thought Wicked was the best thing since sliced bread.
His reasoning, "If it's bad, then why does it sell so many tickets?" He also said he only watches Sondheim when he wants to catch a nap.
Wow. I wish I kept the convo, but I've already closed the window.
Honey, you have a husband. Why are you on gay.com?
Or arguing about that? Haven't you been on the main board enough to know that it's futile?
I'm on gay.com because it's 4:00AM. I'm bored and I can't sleep.
I'm not "looking".
Yes, I know it's futile, but he seemed smart.
They all seem smart until they mention Idina.
