Heh, I still laugh at that story.
K couple more notes on last night...
John and Norbert had lotsa giggles, particularly during Ruprecht, Shiffhausen, and Dirty Rotten Number. Lotsa times they looked at each other and tried to hold it in. At one point during Ruprecht, Norbie started hugging John's leg, I'm like I've never seen him do that...then I realize he did that b/c he was laughing hysterically. It was great!
Oh, sad moment when you know I've seen the show too many times. At one point, Norbie says to John: I'm better looking than you, I'm smarter than you, I'm more charminger than you...he skipped I'm smarter than you last night...my friend thought it was really sad that I noticed that...
But perhaps sadder...during Give Them What They Want, Greg...well one of his lines where he responds parlay vu(can't spell French) or something like that...he kinda had a brain freeze and sang parlay....vu. I talked to him about that, and uhh, he had no clue what I was talking about...it probably is REALLY sad when I realize mistakes the actors make when they themselves don't even realize it!
Umm, any other points of interest...ooh FANTASTIC audience. One of the top 2 I've ever watched the show w/. Full cast, no understudies.
Ooh, one more point. Well if there's any doubt that Kevin knew me...he first asked me where I got the shirt(which wasn't even available at the merchandise stand hehe) I told him the flea market, Norbie commented that he loved it I was happy(ooh he even took pics but my stupid camera wasn't working so I'm still stuck w/ the pic I have w/ him where I have a double chin...gah!), but then Greg took forever as usual taking a huge group of guests around so we were waiting and Kevin came out and tells us he's been watching us on the camera. For the first time ever I notice a teeny camera looking at us at the stage door. And then I turned bright red...thinking of lotsa stuff I've done over the months wasting time at the stage door...oy. But we were waving at the camera and making faces, and he'd come out and wave back, and then my friend said she'd flash him and he was very excited, but she said it was too cold...but yeah, he def knows me now. Hmm, little thing to keep in the back of my head if I wanna go backstage w/o asking anyone though...so yeah Kevin's def not scary anymore.
Umm, think that's it.
