A LITTLE NIGHT MUSIC'S reopening tonight...(review updates here)

I'll be there, seated to ljay's left.

Anyone know if Stritch recorded a new pre-show announcement?

"If I hear a God Damn cell phone ring, I'm getting out of this chair and finding you. And if you're eating candy, just stop. You can't go two hours without eating something? Pigs. Enjoy."

^ Absolute perfection.

"Watch out for my Jazzy, F*ckers!"

I'll be outside the theatre in 3 hours for rush. Probably too early, but I want those damn tickets.

I might stop by...I really wanna see the show, don't really care about the new stars, but I wanna see the show for some reason.

Muscle, how exactly does one stop by a show? It's not a barbecue or a dinner party. You either attend, or you don't.

I want to hear the score live and see Erin Davie, Ramona and Leigh Ann mostly.
Maybe Bernardette will impress me, who knows?
I saw BP's live concert and it didn't do much for me.
I don't like her voice too much. But she looks like a very sweet woman and I like her anyways.
I will stop by to see if they have tix available...I meant.

You're obsessed with me, and I'm flattered! =)

And I say what I think, I am just not biased by the opinion of some idiots. I was rooting for Memphis to win best musical for example...and it won! So I don't just go against the opinions...I just don't hold back...and it's great!!!

Dear Bernadette and Elaine,

Wishing you both the best tonight. In the past, each of you has given performances in Sondheim shows that are among the very highest peak theatrical experiences of my theatergoing life.

Bernadette, I will never forget the first time I saw Sunday in the Park. Yes, the show and the production were dazzling, and, yes, the entire cast was superb. But your incandescent performance--dazzling and vulnerable and intelligent and warm--brought a heart and soul and depth to the show that, I have always maintained, was part of the reason the show was awarded a Pulitzer prize.

And, Elaine, I was fourteen years old when another 14-year-old friend of mine, already far wiser to the world than I, brought me to the just-opened Company. That Sondheim show and that production were also dazzling, and that cast was also superb. But you gave a sizzling, electrifying, jaw-droppingly bold performance the likes of which I have never seen since and may never see again. I am still fourteen every time I see you, and you still electrify me.

May the muses shine down tonight on your collective efforts. Break legs and show 'em how it's done.

yr pal,
joey

I posted this in the rush thread, but I'll put it here too just in case:

2 tickets per student ID. $27 cash only. You get to choose standing room or slightly obstructed side orchestra. The man told me I should get orchestra. I can attest to the fact that the Kerr's sightlines are excellent.

I got orchestra row C, seats 11 & 13.
