New York Magazine had a little blurb about the Fringe Festival opening this week, including a little breakdown of shows about gay marriage, mentioning both Fleet Week and my own little musical.

Also, HX Magazine this week, of course, mentions all the gay musicals but our promo photo is the big one at the start of the article. Woo woo!

Send out the PR machines!

Woo! I will stop by the nearest gay bar and pick up a copy of HX!

[bwaysinger]

Posted: 8/10/05 at 10:26am

hehe. I can pick one up for you if you want. I know how you hate the homos. I mean, we all hate them, really, and that's what's magical about this musical. It's totally anti-gay!

Mister Singer, after all of this will you still be your humble self or will you and the pug get an entourage and go clubbing with Paris?

[bwaysinger]

Posted: 8/10/05 at 1:33pm

We already go clubbing with Paris, Beacs. Who do you think taught her everything she knows? Not much, admittedly...

It was the pooch, by the way, not I.

Pug

Now I got distracted with what I wanted to say.

Something about the festival.

Unfortunately, the pooch won't be accompanying me to performances as he might be distracting...and, as this is my show, I will not be upstaged by more people asking for his autograph.

OMG! OMG! OMG! It's the Elphapug!

[bwaysinger]

Posted: 8/10/05 at 1:45pm

Exactly. It's bad enough that Robbiej's going to be at all of our performers razzing me from the audience and promoting his own show, but I can't deal with the E-pug showing me up, too.

Maybe I should arrange to get your autograph beforehand... you are just so Pop-U-LAR!

Please, Mr. Bwaysinger, may I have your autograph?
My name is Addy.
A-D-D-Y.
Thank you.
I am SUCH a big fan.

Very nice.

Just found out that, while we're not selling out, the little HX write-up apparently gave us a teensy boost. So that's good. Perhaps the walk-in clientele will fill the rest of the seats!

LOL "walk-in clientele" has such a massage parlor ring to it, LOL!

Does E-pug give out autographs?

Lovingly done for me by someone else, I now paste it here:

A Bluffer's Guide to the Fringe
Your cheat sheet to the hottest genres at this year’s festival, August 12–28.

By Boris Kachka
The Gay-Marriage Spectacular
Why it's Hot
Topical agitprop is a Fringe Fest mainstay. But a few productions this year turn same-sex nuptials into a plot twist that might make Jerry Bruckheimer proud.


Typical Example
Fleet Week: The Musical, in which a quickie gay marriage somehow saves New York from a terror plot hatched out of Martinique. That’s right, Martinique.


You Know You’re Watching One When . . .
The play involves jaunty gay slang, a titular exclamation point, or, ideally, both (The Day the World Went QUEER!).

Counting down to Opening Night...

I can feel the excitement building!

[kissmycookie]

Posted: 8/11/05 at 10:52am

and counting down to when I see this!

Yay!

[bwaysinger]

Posted: 8/11/05 at 10:06pm

Just had a super scary run-through with everything. It's frightening how quickly things come together.

[harris007]

Posted: 8/11/05 at 10:18pm

it can be scarey but good, when i did evita when i was 17 i thought the show was in major touble , we ran the whole show a week before opening night for the 1st time , and wow we were in much better shape then i thought in fact we were more then ready. so sometimes a scarey run though can be good

[bwaysinger]

Posted: 8/11/05 at 10:26pm

oh, given how this show has to just sort of go up in a theatre you never get to work in (And, consequently, turned out to be shaped rather differently than we first thought), it's going extremely well!

[bdwaygirl]

Posted: 8/12/05 at 9:30am

I can't wait to see this next week!

[kissmycookie]

Posted: 8/12/05 at 10:17am

Break a leg at the opening tomorrow, bway!

[bwaysinger]

Posted: 8/12/05 at 10:22am

Thanks, guys! It's going to go really well, I believe it!

[kissmycookie]

Posted: 8/12/05 at 10:24am

I believe it too!
