BARE cast — Page 69

I think this may be the best BARE-related opinion poll ever.

I also think that Peter would be one to wear briefs (**hint hint to creative team who may be reading this**).

Does Jason shove Peter more than once? I thought it was only that one time (or at least only once that was hard enough for Peter to fall on the floor and hurt his wrist).

Yeah. He pushes twice. One right at the begining when he says, "no peter this will always be a problem" and then during the song when he says, "you're the one who went ahead and changed the rules!"

i always tear up. so sad!!

i really disliked those seats. i thought i broke it the first time i sat down. i only saw the show from the front row, so at least i didn't have to worry about kicking the person in front of me. but yeah, Dodger Stages is new, so i'm praying for good seats.

I am new here, and I have to say I just love reading this thread!! I have only saw Bare once, and was supposed to be going again in Oct., but unfortunatley plans have fallen through, so I will have to continue to check this thread for the most up-to-date info!!

First prize goes to whoever knows where my quote and icon are from? (hint-it is Bare related)

WHOA! totally random. But i was just checking up on the thread when number 12 came up on my cd of burned songs and i heard your exact quote. I dont know who says it or what it is but someone playing the guitar it is the name of their cd. hahah! i got so excited! random. completely random! but i win woooo!

There's an interesting editorial opinion by Michael Riedel in this morning's NY Post. You can find on their website at this URL: http://nypost.com/entertainment/27442.htm

It's essentially about how even if Dracula sucks, because they have the funding of this man Joop van den Ende, it will supposedly stay open because he'll make money off of it either way.

The Bare connection to this article is finding out this man owns 50% of Dodger Stage Holdings. I think we've wondered in the past how Bare could have possibly kept itself afloat on $40 tickets and I wonder now, if this wasn't part of the reason, this man's musical whims?

I don't know whether to be relieved that he seems to want to spend his money freely or frightened at what else this spending has produced.

(OT, to BlueWizard, I'm determined to keep you up to date on my progress, am now 380 pages into the book and I find myself anxious for its progress, in a good way. I have to stop myself from flipping ahead. I also fear the anticipation will come crashing down on me whenever I get to wherever I think I want to wind up, if that makes any sense. Gaaaahhh... I'm totally sucked in and have bags under my eyes to prove it, from staying up to read last night.)

I do read really, really fast. In fact I showed the book to a few people yesterday to read the back cover and I found myself getting impatient that they took so long to read it. That's bad of me, I know.

As for Peter/Jason and a love song, I disagree that the potential for Jason to say anything more in a song is maximized in You and I. Even what he's saying there is fairly non-shallow, under the surface, ditto Best Kept Secret. I'm not saying they should be singing a chorus of 'I love you's' throughout the show or anything, that wouldn't feel right and it's not what I want. I just think they need a moment alone and/or a moment that's not totally fraught with angst.

Even Shakespeare gave R&J a moment alone!

I have met MacMurrough, he's in the middle of his transformation right now. I'm missing Doyler at the moment though!

Thinking about the love song business some more, and though the music is upbeat and they're joking, it's pretty telling of the depth of Jason's feelings for Peter that he's saying things like "I'll be with you always, forever you and I". And also "I'll wipe away your doubts". There's a certain amount of reassurance in his words for Peter, even when he's trying to keep all of his bouncing identities up in the air for everyone else.

I think, if I didn't believe that Jason felt as deeply for Peter as Peter feels for him that the emotional crux of the show might fall apart.

They need a private, uninterrupted scene in their dorm room.. the dorm is their sanctuary, but it was never established before.

Being roommates with your lover would greatly affect the dynamics of the relationship and how intense it would be.

So true and at least it's acknowledged in Act II that they're not living together any longer, obviously because that would be too painful. They've spent 5 years living with one another/loving one another, surely that room has a story to tell.

There are reading group questions??

In the copy I bought.

They need a private, uninterrupted scene in their dorm room.. the dorm is their sanctuary, but it was never established before.

The only private moment seems to be before the rave. Maybe that should either be expanded or they should include another private moment.
