I think I must be out now for the night. "See you" tomorrow, and see you for real (hopefully) on the 29! *little squeal of delight*

Or we can brave the phones!

Bye, Alix.

Phones! What a novel idea!

We are so innovative!

[greatdct]

We truly are!

I hope he's in a silly mood at that performance. If he isn't - we'll have to put him in one!

Hopefully we can sit really close. Then he'll HAVE to smile.

I've only ever done rush once and they put me in the second to the last row of the orch. And I was by myself. It was odd.

Anyway, hopefully we do better than that! How could he resist a bunch of smiling and swooning girls?

Totally depends on the day, sort of. If you ask, they'll give you better seats.

[greatdct]

Posted: 10/11/05 at 6:45pm

Really? I should have asked. Grr. Oh well, I moved up anyway.

[luvtheEmcee]

Posted: 10/11/05 at 6:47pm

Yeah. Just be like "if you have anything really close, can I get those?" or something. One time, the guy pulled out the seating chart and let me pick.

It was a really busy day for rush. A bunch of people were trying to get tickets and the guy working was pretty rude. So I think he was just shoving us all in the same row and not caring.

Wow. That was nice of him!

I love sitting close up because I like to see facial expressions and things.

If I sit too close, Raul will see my staring at him.

[greatdct]

Posted: 10/11/05 at 6:54pm

Uh oh. Is that a bad thing?

[luvtheEmcee]

Posted: 10/11/05 at 6:58pm

Maybe not.

[greatdct]

Posted: 10/11/05 at 6:59pm

Let's hope not. Seeing as I'm guilty of it. Whoops.

That is the one thing I hate about sitting close. They can see you and your reaction. Which kind of makes me self conscious.

I have a front row ticket for Sweeney Todd, though. Now THAT is gonna be creepy. I CAN NOT wait.

I love sitting front row, but you are right about that. It definitely makes me feel uncomfortable when I see a bunch of eyes on me watching my reactions. But at the same time, I think that's also a lot of fun. Because I think it's important for the actors to see how much you are enjoying (or not enjoying) the work they are doing. I think it gives them something to play off of.

That's one of the things I LOVED about Cabaret. When they were "warming up", you could interact with the actors. They would ask you questions and you could be smart with them. And flirty. The girls too! And they would make faces at you! Making them back was always a lot of fun. Oh how I miss that show....

I sat front row for Lennon, and I had a blast. The actors were really responsive, and it was really fun to play around with them a bit. Will shook my mom's hand. I'd like to do it again sometime, because it is a really special feeling to be able to... sort of be part of the show that way.

Hey Em, what did your mom think of Will? Was she smitten?

[greatdct]

Posted: 10/11/05 at 7:51pm

It really is amazing. Front row at Chitty is a lot of fun, except you can see exactly how the car works. And when it flies over my head I panic a little bit.

[luvtheEmcee]

Posted: 10/11/05 at 7:55pm

Completely smitten.

[Chrysanthemum62001]

Posted: 10/11/05 at 7:56pm

I figured! As well she should be! He's just so....precious.

Atrias just told me that Raul was on Jeopardy! It's kids' week, and they used a picture of him in Chitty as a clue!

Oh my gosh, how cute is that!
