When I saw Bee on Memorial Day weekend in Norfolk this year, Dana (who was playing Logainne) started her rant with, "This bee is about as exciting as David Cook winning American Idol."
One of the volunteer spellers was wearing a white sequined top and a yellow skirt, so Mrs. Peretti's comment was, "Ms. _____'s school colors are mustard and sequins."
The last volunteer speller took his blazer off and tossed it down where he was sitting when he was called back up to spell his "impossible word". I think that was the first show I have ever seen someone break character. Dana picked it up and handed it to someone else to put on the gentleman when the kids crossed to the stairs.
Were I living near NYC, LA, Boston, or Chicago, Bee and I would have gotten to know each other very well. Maybe this new non-union tour and I will become acquainted with each other, since I'm not six hours from those stops (there's four popular theatres for non-equity tours that are less than three hours away)...
Every living soul has got a voice - you've got to give it room and let it sing.
