Chitty plague.

I can see it now. "At this performance" slips for Caractacus Potts, Truly Scrumptious, Jemima Potts, and Baron Bomburst.

Let me not be the person who sees that show.

Oh, dear. I hope not!

Dear god, that would be horrible. And I think greatdct is right...there is a Chitty plague!

Yay for cutting school.

As am I, Em. Let me know when you wanna go, and I will absolutely bring the pole. It just can't be this week b/c of money issues and the fact that they wouldn't let me take the pole on the bus!

Oh I'm so bored.

Have fun getting your CDs girls!

I can't stop looking at my tickets for tomorrow. I'm a nerd.

UGGH!

Why won't people see this show?!

I wish I knew. I thought it was gonna be a big box office draw. Sadly that hasn't been the case.

Heh, I wonder if they would consider getting Molly Ringwald when Erin leaves!

It was so much more popular on the West End. I wish it were the same here.

That's got to be hard for the cast to keep their spirits up each night.

I think they've been doing a great job so far. Sometimes they come out of the stage door and say how great the audience was. And I was like "WHAT?" Are you kidding?

I love watching Raul work. It's been such a great learning experience to watch him from the first preview to get to the point he is now. He makes it look so effortless. They all do. Such a great, great cast.

Wow. Well, good for them!

I am excited to see what Raúl's next project might be after Chitty.

I think they liked it better over there simply because some of the humor is decidedly British.

Britt -- go with poles we shall! I can't this week either, but... we'll figure it out. (Your signature is fab. The pole!!)

*scrolls up more*
57?! Fifty-seven?! WTF, people?! It's September, so I guess it's expected, but come on!

[greatdct]

Posted: 9/27/05 at 12:43pm

Maybe it will go up next week.

*wishful thinking*

Once the new season is in full swing, tourism picks up.

[greatdct]

Posted: 9/27/05 at 12:46pm

Go, Chitty, go!

[luvtheEmcee]

Posted: 9/27/05 at 12:47pm

I'm going to start feeling like I should go see it every week! Not that $25 really helps them, though.

[greatdct]

Posted: 9/27/05 at 12:49pm

Well, it's $25 more than they would have otherwise.

$25 is tons better than an empty seat!

haha that's how i feel em!! i was going to hold off number 4 until later in october...but this saturday i shall go and do my part!! haha. and DEFINATELY start entrance applause...i NEED him to come out the stage door!! who's with me?? haha.

[luvtheEmcee]

Posted: 9/27/05 at 12:50pm

Don't tell me that; I'll actually start going.

Maybe my pole will coax him. Maybe it's like a magnet.

[greatdct]

Posted: 9/27/05 at 12:55pm

Ooh does entrance applause really make him come out the stage door?

Note to self: Make entrance applause tomorrow.

[luvtheEmcee]

Posted: 9/27/05 at 12:57pm

It's a theory!

Clap like crazy!

[gavrochegirl]

"I think they liked it better over there simply because some of the humor is decidedly British."

Right, mate.

But they didn't have Raul!

[greatdct]

Posted: 9/27/05 at 12:58pm

Clap I shall. And darnit, I WILL give him a standing O. Even if I am the only one and I look like a fool.
