Confessions of a Mormon Boy's Big Reveal

Posted: 2/6/06 at 12:08am

So without giving the big reveal of the show away...I notice that no review or preview of the show thus far has given away the most shocking moment of the show.

I guess along the lines of Crying Game or Sixth Sense, for theatre, is there a different standard that would allow likewise to keep audiences from knowing what the actor reveals about himself, since those that don't see the show will know what happens?

This is the last show I would think would have a big reveal. What is it? Is he not a mormon?

haha he's mormon. Go see the show. I couldn't imagine seeing it if I already knew what was going to happen. I saw it back in Salt Lake and got to meet him. A really poignant piece of theatre with a really warm and nice person performing it.

I thought the reveal was the best part of the show. It blew my mind, and I absolutely loved the fact that I didn't even know a shock was coming at all because I would have been waiting for it the whole time if I knew something was going to happen. I suppose that means that I shouldn't really even be replying to this thread in keeping with the whole let-the-existence-of-the-surprise-be-a-surprise thing, but I just really felt the need to talk about that moment. The change spoke volumes, and really altered the way I saw the character. In short, he made the play so much better in just one second, and that impressed and moved me.

I saw him at the Bailiwick in Chicago. If you are talking about what I think you are, I' not quite sure how that is a shock. PM me and let me know what it is.

Me too. I'm not going to be able to get around to seeing it because I won't be in the area. Can someone please PM me and let me know what the surprising shock is. It's going to drive me insane if I don't find out. Thanks.

I knew there is some sort of shocking moment and I can't wait to see what it is Sunday (2/12). I've heard great things about this show so I can't wait to see it. I got my tickets for $40 each with a code from Playbill.com

Like everyone else here, I want to know the secret. I don't expect ever to see this show, so whoever has the secret, please PM me. It's driving me crazy trying to figure it out!
Thanks so much!

This was only a "shocker" if you are a 22 year old twink.

Oh thank GOD! I was reading each of these posts, trying to recall, having seen the show in the fringe last year, what the hell the big reveal was.

What's so shocking about it? It's actually a good wig...a very good wig...apparently good enough to be shocking to some people. I'll admit that I was surprised but if all you took away from the performance was the fact that he was bald, you really should go back and watch the rest of the show. It's quite good when you're not concentrating on his hair.
