I think it's hysterical that the Cabaret contracts included things like having to either dye or remove all visible body hair. It's funnier than it should be.
I'm watching So You Think You Can Dance, and their NYC auditions are in the Hilton. They were just showing people on line at the stage door entrance, and then they showed them checking in in the lobby; the auditions were on the stage. There's snow and the posters are gone, so I guess it was right after Chitty had closed.
