FUUUUUUUUCK! I forgot to buy it! Dammit!
I did catch the Pillowman's final show. I got up at 6:30, threw my stuff together, got out of the door at 10 to 7, had more bad subway luck, got to the theatre around 7:30...all the rush seats were accounted for already (people got there at 1am) and I ended up getting the 2nd to last SRO spot, due to some shady dealings. This guy 3 people in front of me was there by himself almost the whole time, then at like 10:30 (the BO opened at noon, because it's Sunday) these two chicks and another guy showed up at his little yoga mat, and we kind of hemmed and hawed (is that right? hemmed and hawed?) over what to say about it, if anything. Finally, at about quarter of 12, we got together and were like, "What the hell do you think you're doing? We've been here since 6/6:30/7/9am etc, and you can't just cut us" but they did anyway. And I ended up getting the 2nd to last ticket. The guy behind me had to go w/o his friend (felt really bad for her) and felt even worse for the girl behind him how was in tears because she really should have been in...actually, she ended up buying a full price ticket from someone on the street 5 minutes after it started. I was so pissed of at those bitches that cut the line. First of all, it was bogus to be a cutter, 2nd, they were trying to "justify" it by saying they'd been turned away all week trying for tix and asked everyone in line how many times they'd already seen it, since they hadn't yet (excuse me, but if it was that important for you to get in, you should have toddled your little asses up there w/ your friend at 5am, not slept in and showed up at 10:30...I don't care if I've seen it a couple of times before, it was important to me to see the last show and I got there early, on 5 hours sleep, to wait in line for another 4 1/2 hours, to stand for another 3...and it was worth every penny!) Oh, then they had the nerve (because I was standing next to them) to be complaining about not having seats, and saying "this better be a damn good show after all this"...after all what? After the whole hour and a half you had to wait when some people were there for 11 hours?!?!?
Anyway, the show was very good. Billy gave Michael Stuhlbarg a sweet little kiss on the forehead at the end of Act I...so touching! The audience was very into it, and Goldblum was at the top of his game! I staged-doored it afterwards (kicking my self for not buying a script to bring, because) Martin McDonagh was there signing...got my Playbill signed though! Big Apple, here I come! (For sure!)" width="14" height="14" src=https://cloudimages.broadwayworld.com/board/icon_smile_big.gif> Goldblum was hillarious (chatting on the phone w/ some guys mother and patiently listening to some chick that was bawling her eyes out...wish I knew what the deal was!) Billy was a doll, patiently returning (multiple times) to pose as I struggled to take a picture w/ the girl next to me...oh and I reminded him of his little Ui antics w/ Sterling Brown and he had a little chuckle over that *pats self on back*...Michael Stuhlbarg was a sweetheart, meticulously signing everyone's Playbills, and graciously listening to everyone's kind words. He's so cute! I just love him! (His "itchy ass" bit was a gem!) Oh, and the first nut from the line, that got there at 1am, got the pillow he slept on signed by Crudup, Goldblum, and Stuhlbarg...kinda cool.
Guess that's about it...HOOOORAAAAY for Felicity Huffman winning Best Actress in a Comedy at the Emmys!!! YAY!!!!
But when did New Hampshire become--Such a backward wasteland of seatbelt hating crazies?...I mean, only 40 people actually live there. The others are just visitors who come for the tax-free liquor and three inches of novelty coastline. John Hodgeman on The Daily Show (1-30-07)
