In all fairness, we've all had pictures taken we'd love to rip up so no one can see them. LOL
I think Michael looks GREAT as Edna! He brings back memories of Divine!

That is SO true Jim! LOL. I walked into the neil Simon expecting myself to go "well Harvey did that this way" or "Harvey did that better" at every turn.. being perfectly honest, only two times in the entire show did that thought enter my mind.. and they were where jokes did not hit because he didn't have Harvey's gravel voice. Micheal makes Edna all his own and is perfectly wonderful in the role.
BG2 - You are in the majority according to everyone I've spoken to. I read your e-mail again and just sat there and laughed. The visual of your mother kills me.

i am so glad that it is Micheal that took over.. I really am.
It is HILARIOUS how long of an applause/laughter he gets with the "jewish" joke in "Timeless To me". even at the Wednesday matinee.... I SWEAR the audience was SO dead that day.. but when he hit that joke.. the laughter was in full force and only topped by Jackie Hoffman's entrance during "You Can't Stop the Beat" where she ad-libed "The biggest hit show on Broadway and we have empty seats in the front row.. what's wrong with people Lon? Are they afraid of a little rain? Bunch of pussies" and then when she hit the "sweet jesus" line a few beats after.
To enhance the visual of my mother, she looks like Sarah Jessica Parker with less money, a bad haircut, an an abundance of sun damage to her skin. I kid you not.
And yes, in retrospect, what happened was hilarious.. but at teh time, I wanted to crawl intoa hole and DIE. LOL.

broadwayguy2- I cannot believe you talk about your mother like that. Honestly, I am shocked and appalled. My mommy is the most beautiful woman in the entire world.
Phantom - You cannot compare lives or mothers. Take that back or I'll kick your......on behalf of my friend BG2.
First off, I don't think it's nice to describe your mother that way. Secondly, I'm sure it's not easy living with broadwayguy2 either!
AND AGAIN, THIS WAS NOT IT.
JESUS CHRIST, DID THIS GUY GIVE EVERYONE HERE HEAD?
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
I am just saying that his tone in this thread illustrates how sweet he is. He didn't blast you here, so why would he do it later? Oh, and as for your last comment, no, not everyone. Just those of us who made a donation to his favorite charity! But boy, was it good.
Here is the Charity if you care to make a donation
He's talking about Matt_G, phannie doll. :)
But I for one have missed our frequent dose of "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh"-titude. Love you all.
Thanks for clarifying, peaches 'n cream!
I am the belle of the ball! HAHA
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
