Oh.

Very interesting.

I'm seeing Drowsy in August so I don't know what this bed is.
I hope nobody got hurt.

I hope Troy wasn't standing on it when it broke.

Well, from what I remember, it's also used for I Am Aldolpho, so it might have something to do with that number.

What the puck?!

from what I understood it was during "I Am Aldolpho"... or maybe right before or after?

Ah yeah, while I'm sure everything will be fine (hardly the ship in "Titanic"), I hope no one is hurt. Every member of that cast does such a wonderful job, I'd hate for one of them to be out when I see it next week. Interesting situation though, I do wonder why it was so bad that the show needed to be stopped for a while.

It's a Murphy bed that pulls down from the "wall". They could probably do the show without the bed, but who knows...maybe it won't go up and is blocking part of the stage. That WOULD be a problem.

So, that was the Drowsy Chaperone. Oh, I love it so much. I know it's not a perfect show...but it does what a musical is supposed to do. It takes you to another world, and it gives you a little tune to carry with you in your head for when you're feeling blue. Ya know?

*deep breath* I thought this was a post about the show closing! That was the scariest 1 second of my online life!

Kat-
I don't think if Drowsy was closing the title would be "Drowsy Stopped"
But then again, who knows.

With my warped mind...anything is possible..mwahaha. I thought we might have another "Ragtime"-ish situation onhand.

didn't mean to cause any anxiety... if this is all they have to worry about, I think they're fine- well, that and being mediocre show

I remember the bed was causing issues during previews when I saw the show. It didn't stop the show, but it did bring about some very cute Bob Martin improv.

Katurian2, what is the "Ragtime"ish stiuation you are talking about? Sorry to thread jack but I'm very curious!

I was there and it was when 'man in the chair' was lifting the murphy bed with Aldolfo and Drowsy on it and it kinda cluncked and plopped - 'non-scheduled intermission' lasted about 15 min.

According to a poster on ATC Bob Martin got off several good ad libs... "It's a rent controlled apartment... you get what you pay for..." And when the Stage Crew came on he said... "Oh, look, it's the neighbors..." Anyway, he got laughs and the bed was fixed and the show went on. And everyone had a good time.

Faced with these Loreleis, what man can moralize!

I was wondering how Bob would handle this, being the "improver" that he is. Sounds hilarious! Wish I could have been there. I'll bet it was a hoot.
