TDF's worth it, anyway, but I have heard of DRS being on it.

Guys... where's thespian geek?

hey emcee: thespian geek is in, or on her way, to D.C. She's planning to see Rent while she's there. :)

Cool. I haven't been paying attention, I guess.

Thanks Emcee! I know it's definitely worth it, but with me living in Ohio and only being in NY for a week, I didn't want to blow my money. I'm crossing my fingers to get into college there though, so maybe I'll actually be able to use TDF more than once!

Oh, yeah. That may not work. It's for a whole year, and it costs $25 to join. I mean, unless you're planning on seeing quite a few shows while you're here, and betting that they're all on there, you may not get your money's worth.

DRS has rush and lottery, though. Plus, there's TKTS.

edit: I heard they weren't at TKTS though?

At TKTS? The only thing I can tell you is to check like...the week before you go on the TDF website. You can see what's been on the board recently, but it changes day to day. DRS may end up having skyrocketing ticket sales, and might not get on there. I don't know.

Thanks, I'll try anything I can to get see it!

Only--I hadn't heard DRS was on TKTS (so I can't say conclusively they're not, but I think it might be unlikely)..but I KNOW they were on TDF during previews. I will check with a friend of mine to see if they still are and get back to you.

There are so many adorable DRS icons on this thread.

Don't worry, I'm changing mine back to Chitty on Sunday!

CHITTY!!!

I had a neat one I was going to use to bid farewell to RENT's NY shoot, but it's not working.

[Chrysanthemum62001]

Oh, and Only- You should consider seeing Chitty Chitty Bang Bang while you are in the Big Apple. Just thought I'd make the suggestion! They have 20 rear mezz seats for mid week. Everyone should see Raul Esparza on stage once in their life.

Very sad, Emcee! Maybe it will work later!

Chrys: Is there a recording for CCBB already?
(I guess I could just check Amazon!-Lazy Hedwig!)
...and speaking of Raul, did you get to see him in Taboo?

DRS was at TKTS this past week but only 35% off.

Chrys-"where are you? where are you? stop it, stop that!" :) It's very bad, I know, but while you're at CCBB, I'll be at Spam again. I got lucky with a front row seat for Easter Sunday on opening day.

Wendy-I'll try to put some pics up this weekend in fan photos.

Hedwig-Yes, I met Norbert, Sherie, John, Gregory, and David Yazbeck! DY isn't usually there but he was on Tuesday and I couldn't have been happier! They come out very quickly, I'd say it doesn't take more than 15-20 minutes for everyone to sign autographs and take pictures. But Joanna doesn't come out. And don't ask the stage door guy anything, he's grouchy!

I met Anthony Rapp at the set Thursday night! It was too cool! I was talking to this small group of women and girls and it turned out that one of the women was his aunt! She kindly introduced me to Anthony and I was in heaven! I'll never forget that day!

Rosario was there, too. She filmed "without you" for a bit before going back to her trailer. But before she did, she handed out St.Patty Day cookies to the fans! She was so nice!

Hey you guys:

broadway betty: thanks for your review! I'm glad you were able to meet the DRS crew. They seem very close, in addition to being so talented and having great chemistry with each other. :) They're a special group.

Oh and about Rent filming: Anthony sounds like such a sweetheart. So does Rosario (thank goodness--to be honest I wasn't sure if she would be too "Hollywood"!) I saw her on Regis last week and thought she seemed really nice.

One last thing: a fan on the Idina forum met Idina last night. Idina and Taye were coming out of the Imperial after DRS and the fan asked if Idina would pose for a pic. Woo! There is a picture of Idina with the fan. Idina looks gorgeous. Honestly, I think leaving Wicked was a great thing for her, as much as I loved her as Elphaba.

Joel Siegel, an entertainment critic on ABC-7 in New York gave DRS a very favorable review on Friday afternoon, and particularly singled out Norbert, calling him a "supernova."

Alejandra: I saw the pic of Idina at DRS, she does look great. So glad to see her out supporting Norbert.

Yay for "supernova" Norb!

Darnit! I was a few days too early. I wouldv'e loved to have seen Idina at DRS. But I'm so happy that she's showing Norbert love! They were just so precious together in Wicked. *sigh*

[Chrysanthemum62001]

Posted: 3/20/05 at 7:54pm

What the hell! You aren't going to see Chitty with me!!!!?

Hedwig: Yes, I did see Raul in Taboo. *twice* I'm going to pm you in a little bit...

Well, I might be seeing DRS that afternoon so there! I just realized Chitty doesn't start till 7:30. I have to wait all damn day!

Posted: 3/20/05 at 7:58pm

Rauuuuuuuuuul.

That's all, thanks.

[Alejandra925]

Posted: 3/20/05 at 10:39pm

emcee: LOL. Raul. :) What more do you need to say?

I too think it's fantabulous that Idina and Taye went to see Norbert! Woo! I loved Norbert and Idina's chemistry in Wicked.

Another article posted on DRS.

Alejandra, I'm not even going to respond to your "What more do you need to say?" question. Oh look, I just landed myself in Insomniak's gutter...

Okay. I'm done bumping the thread. Yay Norbert.









...and yay Raul! Couldn't resist.

The pictures of Idina and Taye are now on Broadway.com....adorable!
