BARE cast — Page 68

If we're going to shamelessly promote books, anything by David Sedaris is a must read.

Back to Michael. I remember him mentioning somewhere (damned if I can remember where) that he did a reading for The Hudsucker Proxy earlier this year. Am I crazy or does anyone else remember this? The only reason I remember it, is because I remember trying to figure out if he needed the platinum blond hair for the show and then realizing that would be silly given the movie. It seems like he's kept himself quite occupied over the last four months. Good for him.

Oh I second Trisky's post! David Sedaris is a genius... i was working on a piece from Santa land Diaries for my thr 101 class last year. I really had so much fun. and I just got Dress your family in corduroy and denim for my birthday and I love it!

I'm definitely going to pick up a David Sedaris book. I need to get back to reading for pleasure. Any recommendations?

(To make this post BARE-related, did anyone else find it really cool-but-weird that the seats and the ATA could pull back like a Lazy-Boy?)

Get "Me Talk Pretty One Day" by David Sedaris to start, followed by "Naked". When I tell you I was on the bus nearly crying tears of laughter and getting very odd looks, I'm not even exaggerating.

Read another 50 pages during my lunch hour. I'm going to need tissues for this book, won't I? I can feel it already. *sigh*

The only thing I noticed about the seats at the ATA was the guy kicking my chair behind me during the show. I'm still amazed that we walked in 10 minutes before it started and the front row was wide open. It was pure coincedence that we sat there. By the time Act I finished, the gushing commenced! Of course MoG was almost rendered speechless by John in his 2Xist, which if you know anything about her is quite shocking since she's rarely, if ever, at a loss for words and words and more words.

Can I jump into this thread?

Great Expectations...a good book, but when you have to read it for an assignment it loses points. Plus it's Dickens, so he'll take 5 pages to describe a rock. Fun...fun...fun :-/

i am REALLY anxious to hear some of teh new songs..


yes, being FORCED to read great Expectations sucks... it is a good book, but doing it for assignemts sucked.. I still remember all the crap I had to do on that book in high school.

yeah........... the ATA run this past spring was just developmental run to see what worked and what didn't. the show is still a work in progress....

Welcome BwayTheatre11, always nice to see new folks around these parts.

HAHAHAHAHAHA Trisky That was cute! Poor MOG--you endeared yourself to me with your "wordiness" You guys crack me up! I could see us being a Three's Company for the 2000's...only I am gay so Jack would have to act straight...don't know if I am that good of an actor

Oh, we could so pull it off! I suppose this means I'd have to be the Janet of the bunch and MoG the Chrissy. (She still doesn't understand why I tell her she's the Glinda to my Elphaba - alike, we are not). Now all we need are a Mr. and Mrs. Roper, or Mr. Furley if you prefer, to keep us in line.

Bare, Oct. 13 at Dodgers Stages, go see it. There, I'm on topic. And also looking forward to seeing the changes, I'm sure all for the better.

---

Are you volunteering for Mr. Furley or Larry, broadwayguy? Hee!

Okay here's a question to keep us on topic, what moment/song in the show, if any, do you hope they don't change a second of? For me, any lyric in Role of a Lifetime.

---

I love every word of "Bare", "See Me" and "Warning" so I hope all of those stay intact.

---

a GOD?

no, hun. For something like that to be created, it requires teh combined efforts of NUMEROUS Gods.

Yes, "Role of a Lifetime" is perfect; but maybe they can push it back just a bit, I wasn't ready for it so soon in the show.

If there was one track I hope they don't change an iota of, it's "See Me"; I think the build-up is absolutely perfect (as is the tiny, tiny moment of comic relief when Peter sings "There's a reason for that, Mother").

And hullo BwayTheatre11! Welcome to the thread.

I wonder what the new songs are going to be. Maybe they've read the thread and are following our advice by giving Peter & John a fullout love song.....in their underwear! (Peter: boxers, briefs, or boxer briefs? Matching 2xists?)
