I'm still processing the experience D2. I went Saturday night, and the crowd was unbelievable - cheering for everything. At times, it felt like there was a laugh track going, that's how responsive everyone was.
It was great to have that much enthusiasm, but I felt like a freak because I didn't have the same life-changing experience everyone around me apparently did. Don't get me wrong, I really enjoyed it. Patti was fantastic (everybody was, really) and I get the whole backstory of the struggle for her to play Rose in NY, but I didn't have the same visceral reaction the rest of the crowd did.
I'm glad I went, but sad that I missed out on the bliss everyone around me experienced, and that's something that either hits you or doesn't.
Maybe I just missed the wine buzz I normally have in the theatre after our pre-show dinner.
Don't be too sure I'm as crooked as I'm supposed to be.
