He's an extremely nice guy, Mr. Strickland is. I was walking away from the DRS stage door, and he was walking away from the Tarzan door in the same direction. As we sort of walked together (as many in Manhattan walking the same way do), some girls ran alongside him and took pictures and just ran off. So I continued walking and he did as well, and he turns to me and laughs, "You know, they could have just asked me." We talked for a little down 46th until a little past 9th. Very nice guy, and you can tell from this video!

How does the video end for everybody? For some reason it won't let me get past the part where Jenn signs in? Do they ever show Shuler or anyone else? I sort of want to see this show now.

It ends with Jenn and Josh walking up stairs to their dressing rooms and then Jenn says this is the first show that she can come in at half hour and then they say they have to get ready for the show. Then some press clips play.

As much as I hate the show and pretty much the ENTIRE cast, as I listen to the cast recording, Josh is pretty amazing. He isn't exactly the most masculine guy in the world, a weird chocie for the Tarzan... but well he butch's it up somehow on stage. His songs are the only ones I like on the cd. Shame he doesn't have much to work with book/scene wise. Chester Gregory is fantastic,, it's just really hard to get passed his Prince costume and the terrible vocals he has to sing. What a mess. I still can't believe Josh got beat out by Clay... that is beyond me.

I wonder/hope they do a Behind the Scenes video of The Wedding Singer.

Such a cool guy. I saw Jenn yesterday walking and wanted to go up to her but she was with someone.

Josh is a sweetie, he was walking to the theater as we were heading to TKTS and we shouted "WE LOVE YOU!", and he waved us a kiss!

i saw the video thought it was so cool because i actually know someone on the production staff who took my class on a little tour. Also i just bought the ocr today and i love it forgot how good the songs are.

Most of the songs are pretty catchy, and the lyrics aren't horrible, though nothing groud breaking. The only line I hate is, "I need assistance, to go the distance" - it just sticks out so bad.

I really hope they continue with these. I love watching them. I wish they wouldn't edit it and just let it play for however long.

The video was great! This show is my favorite on Broadway right now, and that's mostly because of the cast. They're such nice, fun, talented people. And after seeing the show so many times, it was great to see the behind the scenes stuff. I met the understudy for Kerchak/Porter on the subway and he said that they don't allow anyone backstage to tour because of the blowup set, so it was nice to see what he was talking about!

Don't worry morosco. I can take the heat. But I do want to know. I thought those moments when he is in wardrobe and he laughs are a big hint. But my gaydar is a bit off these days. And I don't care what he is.. I just want to know .
