Yes, I am a drag queen.

Great to read that the show is in great shape. Folks, this is a first class production. See it if you can. I wept tears of musical comedy joy when I saw it.

I love this show, and sorry that this particular production hasn't played near DC (the original tour came through a few years ago).

We only have 15 more performances. How odd. Here is ticket info for those interested: http://www.civiclightopera.com/megahit.htm

Nate, you may as well come out of the drag-closet now that the tour is ending. You're just as beautiful as a man- dont worry about it! Happy Closing!

Is this the non-equity tour? I hated the non-equity tour. But I think I went in expecting a different show. I'm just not a big fan of dance musicals. I expected good songs and a good story.

RentBoy...we're quite aware of your feelings about the non-equity tour. Do you really have to voice them every single time someone posts something about 42nd Street? Pretty soon we close, so you'll be out of your self-imposed misery.

Is the *Melodie* Davi mentioned in the review the same Mara Davi who'll be in A Chorus Line?

No...it's actually her younger sister Melody. She took over the role during our second year out.

Oh. Was Mara in 42nd Street at all?

[Natalie 2]

Posted: 4/26/06 at 2:52pm

Yes, Mara was our Peggy the first year out.

Thanks. Sorry about that. All the best with the remainder of your run, Natalie.

I've got too, especially for 42nd Street. I made my professional debut in that show ages ago.
