Yeah, Hedwig, I am. And I think I'm suffering from some sort of depression. Haha. I miss it more than I've missed anything, I think. I was planning on going back in February, but I don't think I'll be able to hold off that long..
I wanted to see The Pillowman while I was there, but didn't get a chance. Anyway, if Norbert wants to tackle Shakespeare again - and now that he's mentioned it in a very public form - perhaps we can look forward to him doing a bit of Shakespeare in the Park next summer?
SP: You really can't complain that much. You won a plenty DRS lotto. Nothing is as good as front row for $26 but to get your tix at TKTS to beat paying full price. DRS is there all the time for 50% off.
Aigoo, Was the episode with Norbs on Saturday at 9 or 10 eastern? I am so bummed...if anyone ever knows it's being re-run, please post it on this board. I don;t have TIVO yet and the 1st season is set to come out on video later this year.

Ey! Just saw Norbert on Law and Order: SVU! Nice little surprise. He played a suspect and a burglar. He looks very cute in glasses. (and 5 years ago)
Wendy probably chose center. You can't beat front row center. I've never won the DRS lotto. Only ever won the Bee lotto.
Yeah, get Veronica Mars to find some dirt on your parents. I don't know how old you are but you can try taking a train in from wherever you live and going alone or meeting friends who live in the city. That's what I do. I live anywhere from 2-3 hours away and I'll take a train into the city to see a Wed mat then come back home in time for prime time.
Actually, I chose the seats to the extreme right, (on the aisle) since that's where alot of the Freddy/Ruprecht action takes place. I thought the view of the conductor would obscure center stage seat, apparently not.
BTW-I saw Spelling Bee too, and my personal favorites were Jose and Tyler, Rhona Lisa Peretti and the vice-principal. It was quite funny, but not as funny to me as Avenue Q.
JKfan: You're welcome! Have fun on your trip!
I loved Spelling Bee! I think it was the funniest show of the season. The book was so good that I didn't pay that much attention to the music but I've been listening to the cd alot lately so it's a great show as a whole. I loved Celia so much. She is just so pretty and funny and has a lovely voice. Didn't care for Dan Folger at all. Matt was ROBBED! Jesse was so funny and I also really loved the adults, Lisa Howard and Jay Reiss. Great ensemble!
DRS took a big hit this past week when John was out. They wen't from 96.8% to 78.8%. An 18% drop without Lithgow is not good for the show. Now he MUST be replaced with a name eventhough Norbert won the Tony.
Honestly, Fogler talks like a rugrat, drags his foot across the floor, and sings with a throat full of flem and gets a Tony b/c it'd be wrong for Piazza to take home so many and make fools of everybody at Spamalot. Can you tell I'm still bitter?
i hope that this new guy replacing matt will be good too. plus, he grew up in a town not too far away from mine! only reason why i'm not seeing it on wednesday is cuz victoria's out. and the week after that, kelli's gonna be out as well. so, i'll make due w/out him, i guess.
and, sorry for sidetracking, but, is there a part in spelling bee where an audience member gets to get up on stage? cuz, my band director said that he got to do that, and he spelled stuff like "cow." i didn't get the details, cuz i had to leave.
anyways, yeah, john IS the name. although, even though i knew who he was right away, most of my friends are like, "who?" and i say, "the guy who was lord farquad in shrek?" "uh..." "the guy from 3rd rock from the sun?" "OH!"
yeah. so, not everybody recognizes the name. but, it WAS pretty cool seeing him in the flesh. i can only imagine what it'd feel like to see both him and norb! lol
