Anyone Who Has Seen MAUREEN MOORE Perform Please Read

Hey All

If any of you have seen Maureen Moore on for Christine in GG (or any other show for that matter) and have a POSITIVE review you've posted somewhere or message you'd like to give her, I'm thinking of making her a little scrap-book of positive reviews and fan notes as a closing night gift.

I have become very close with Maureen since catching her performance from the first row on June 9th. Check out my review.

If you'd like to design your own "page" for the book (I'll probably print it out @ Kinko' in color) with a background or photo of you and she, please PM me to coordinate. I would assume that maybe making it in PowerPoint would be best so they are all the same size and easy for me to print.

Each time I see her I try to mention one of the positive things people have said or people expressing interest in seeing her performance and it really makes her day. She truly is an extraordinary woman. Go say "hi!" to her @ Broadway Barks this weekend! Shes been working it for years now :) .

Thanks!

Chris

She was one of my favorite Fraulein Schneiders in the Cabaret revival.

The first time I saw Maureen was in the American premiere of "Blood Brothers" at the Downtown Cabaret Theatre in Bridgeport, CT in 1988. She was excellent.

I also saw her as the first replacement Fantine in the Broadway company of Les Miz. Again, she was excellent.

I'm sorry I didn't get to see her as Rose in the recent revival of Gypsy or in Sunset Boulevard.

She has had quite a career.

Yup!

She did this as well:

I asked her about it afterward and she said, "Yup! I decided I was going to be very bold that day, so I said something!"

I'll definitely send you something.

I've actually only seen her in the NYCO production of A Little Night Music from PBS, but that performance alone has made me such a fan of hers that I can barely describe it. The nuance and skill of her Charlotte really put her on the map for me, and I pretty much think its ridiculous she hasn't has a major Broadway role to herself yet. I've been on a rampage for any Maureen Moore performances by way of bootlegs ever since, and I do confess a few crossed fingers for a sick Ms. Ebersole the night I saw Grey Gardens, but alas I was unlucky.

Hey all

I'd love any final submissions by tonight

thanks

Chris

Chris, I can make you GG and Gypsy ones tomorrow.

I have my copy of the Les Miz OBC Playbill lying around somewhere. I could try and scan it.

I saw her go on for Peters in Gypsy and her magnificent performance wiped me out. I was in tears at the end of the first act, and was sobbing when she did Rose's Turn. She brought all the emotion that's so much a part of Rose's existence into play and her performance moved me greatly! I wrote her a letter, thanking her for such a fine performance, and got a lovely note from her.

Alas, I've since misplaced it, but I did enjoy her and hope to see her onstage when she's not a standby!

Sorry to bump up an old thread, but-

Does anyone know where I could possibly send Maureen a letter? She gave me the best birthday present I could possibly get; standing on a Broadway stage for the first time. I really want to thank her, but now that GG is closed, I don't know where to send it. If I send it to the theatre, will it be forwarded?

(I know this is a bit off topic from the original post, sorry.)
