We're counting on you, jlc!

Anyone know where we can see this interview?

Suuuuch a crazy play, 'twas. I mean, I heard it was racy, but whoaaaa. I loved the storytelling technique a lot, too; that sort of chain-link of relationships.

The cast was fantastic. Star-studded to the extreme. I know this is Anthony's thread, but for me, the highlight was definitely Alan Cumming, because I've been wanting to see him live in something for a really long time. He is divinely talented.

---

I would loove to see a full-blown production of this. Most of tonight's cast would work fine

Ooh lucky you got the front JLC. What time did you get there? I was...maybe 4th, 5th row, almost all the way to the left...whatever row was behind where Anthony sat.

But yeah I really liked it. It was racy, but had some really cute(and I mean aww Full House cute not Brokeback Mountain Cute, Emcee!) and sweet moments. It was just great to see so many talented people there--Anthony, Cheyenne, Barrett, Alan, Logan...nice to know you've heard of Peter, JLC. Apparently he's big and us theatre dorks never heard of him.

Not to mention the last-minute addition of Jerry Dixon! Most of you probably know him from TTB but the first show I ever played was Once On This Island, and he played the male lead alongside La Chanze in the original production. I was so happy he was there.

I got there around 6:45 probably. I had to take my brother to the bus station at 6:30 so I just went after that, and there were only like four people in front of me.

I am a fan of Peter Sarsgaard. Two of my favorite movies are Man in the Iron Mask and Shattered Glass. He is extremely talented.

I have to wonder HOW far they would go if this play were to be staged for real; doing lights up/lights down every time something "risque" happened definitely added to the comedic side of the play. A lot of the play is sweet and heartfelt, and I think having *that* must sex actually shown (or simulated, as it were!) would need to be really carefully balanced in order to keep it... poignant without turning it into live pornography.

That said, I'd be curious to see it staged for a lot of reasons, though... if I had my say, I'd tweak the casting a tad. There are some people who just need to be in that play.

Barrett Foa was also great; I'd never seen him in anything before. I'm still like... internally drooling over having seen Alan Cumming perform, though. You know, Cabaret, etc. Logan's range of talent continues to surprise me, as well. He's great.

I had no idea what the title actually was til I saw the sign on the building. .... heh.

---

Sounds amazing guys... Thanks for all the accounts. Wish I could have been there!

---

Well, um, he has to. :-P In my pretend ultimate fantasy universe. Not for this reason only, but because it would be kind of nice to see him in some guy on guy action that wasn't so laden with tension in such a difficult play. And we can haul Adam back from LA for good measure.

It would depend on the scene. There was the one where the phone rang, and the direction was like "Jack on top of... whoever." You can't really get around that.
