Umm, in the time I've taken off from BWW, I've grown a lot as a person.
and the Rhode Island board is new, so I thought BwayBri2 might want to post it there.
and thank you for complimenting my photo. The lovely Emma Zaks.

Bwaybri2: I think TheatreFan4 was addressing that to MTF3.
"There's a Rhode Island board for a reason."
"Umm, in the time I've taken off from BWW, I've grown a lot as a person."
Those regional boards hardly get any response. Even if she posted there, this is a Broadway national tour, so the Broadway boards are an appropriate place to post as well.
No one here gives a rat's ass how much you have grown as a person, how many countries you have visited or about the 100th sit-down production of Wicked in Turkey. No one wants to hear your meaningless banter about how one mustn't care about personal growth unless he or she is constantly circling the globe visiting hundreds of countries.
If someone put a pin in your ego, it would take hundreds of years to deflate. You are just one big narcissistic prick!

Just got back from the show. The show is nothing more than one continuous penis joke, but I thought the cast was great! Roger Bart blew a line! He actually had to call off stage for the line!

Omigosh! Could you do a full review please? I can't believe he had to call for a line!

whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat that's crazy! I totally want to know what line it was!

Um...hasn't he performed this show like over 500 times?! I have a sneaking suspicion it was one of Stro's "tweaks" to the show that threw him. Can anyone confirm?
...And so, there I was at the stage door for "Equus". The enthused avalanche of "Harry Potter" fans was literally pushing me into the barricades. As I was thrust face-first into Daniel Radcliffe's hat, I suddenly felt the thumb of a lanky gentleman behind me pressing firmly into my back. It was then that I realized that both of his hands had Playbills, and that both arms were outstretched in front of me...

Yeah, and because of that, he is subject to never make mistakes.
So what he performed the show many times? He isn't a robot.

Millie, that wasn't an attack on you or Roger; stay calm. I was just genuinely curious because, as I said, he did the same material several times over. I merely suggested that one of Stroman's improvments might've been the culprit for the missed line. No reason to go to pieces and get all vaginal about it. Now, can we get the review, BroadwayMelody?

The line he forgot was right before Puttin' on the Ritz when he is introducing the monster. It had a lot of pseudo-scientific words in it and you could tell that he was struggling for the line for a bit and kept saying "No thats not it..." and finally he called off stage "What is it?". You could hear the stage manager calling back to him and I guess she gave him the wrong line cause he said "No that's too far ahead." It was actually pretty funny at one point he said "Don't expect the monster to tell me."
As for a review I really don't know what else to say other then it was good. I'm not a fan of Mel Brooks' shows or Susan Stroman's directing/choreography. (It's just my opinion!) The cast was great, most of the priciples had done this show(or The Producers) on Broadway. They all looked comfortable in their roles. You would never have guessed that it was the first show of the tour.
If you have any specific questions, let me know and I'll try an answer them!

They stopped the show for technical problems during Act 1 tonight. My parents are there and my mom sent me a text about 45 minutes in saying that the lab table was stuck. After about 15 minutes Roger and Cory English came out to entertain the audience. Not sure what time they started back up, though.

Sorry, it's hard to tell online when someone starts their sentence with "Um..."

The sets with the exception of the lab and the blind mans house were very simple. Usually just a painted on back drop. I never saw the Broadway show so I don't know what to compare them to.
I'm not surprised to hear that the lab table got stuck. Watching it last night I actually thought to myself "How long till the technical problems start?" There seem to be a lot of "moving" parts in that lab scene and I could see something going wrong at some point.
