BARE cast — Page 227

To quote the first song sung tonight "baby, it's cold outside".

Which is why I'm currently scoffing down half a quart of Cake Batter ice cream from Coldstone Creamery to try and ease the ragged edges of my very sore throat. No one said my logic actually made any sense.

Despite the illness factor, Michael was brilliant and humble as always, Jenna was beautiful as always, Natalie was talented as always, Scott and Kristin were sweet as always but I have to give the evening to John. I kind of always feel like John is the underdog and therefore I root for him. He never lets me down because he never fails to be a) talented (and/or hot) and b) ready to be institutionalized, which personally makes him all the more appealing. If he is the one who dresses himself as opposed to the orderly on the ward then big thumbs up on his kickass outfit tonight, if not big thumbs up to whomever helps him into his clothes.

Seriously though, John needs to do his own stand up show. I think he may have missed his calling.

It was great sharing the night with so many people, can't wait to do the same on Tuesday (and I'm hoping every person reading this plans on attending or I'll have to give John a day pass from the institution so he can terrorize you...).

BTW, according to Seth Rudetsky the Chatterbox with John and Michael is available (though I don't see it on his site, hmmmm). YAY! Do buy and support BCEFA and of course Michael/John and Bare. Oh and Seth made an interesting comment along the lines of he'd heard there was some kind of hope left for Bare yet. HMMMMM....

ETA: I think that the entire Broadway community apparently knows of the fans of Bare and their uh... singular devotion. We got called out by Seth so many times I lost track. *crawls into a hole*

Sadly, I think I actually recognized you Mattio (I think I may have seen you somewhere before, but can't recall where now). Since the Bare/BWW section was probably the loudest (well, minus me who doesn't "woo-hoo" for anyone, ever) we were probably particularly hard to miss. LOL

BTW, MoG, Jenna sang "Christmas Lullabye" by Jason Robert Brown and she, Natalie and Sara Schimdt sang "At the Ballet".

You've probably seen me somewhere before. I tend to be pretty much everywhere.

OK, someone really needs to convince me that buying a ticket to Easter Rising on Tuesday is more important than having money to eat this month.... LOL

Amy, YOU MUST go to Easter Rising or I am never speaking to you again! Go or Die! Yes, you can call me G. Diddy! :)

Seriously, as Tracee said, you'll totally regret it when we come back and talk about the brilliance that is Michael Arden and you could have gone! :) Who needs food? Eating is sooooo last year! :)

You've probably seen me somewhere before. I tend to be pretty much everywhere.

I think this is the 1,000th event I've been to that you've been at Mattio and we have yet to meet. What's up with that? :P

I was going to introduce myself to all of you tonight but I was busy trying to milk Michael for a part in future productions of Easter Rising and then I had a train to catch. :-P

LOL Well, that's as good an excuse as I've heard. I hope you're going to Easter Rising on Tuesday then. :)

I wish I could but I can't. I doubt there will be a commercial recording but hopefully it will have future productions. I've heard the score is wonderful.

I've never been to Joe's Pub... how does the ticket situation work? Did they just put my name on a list or something?
