The night after the Tony's Jackie was running around screaming "Am I the only one who gets this? Its so easy! *looks at a girl onstage* This is like a great show, right? We don't have to be, ya know, Dominican or anything?"

I was sitting on stage next to this guy who had Chinese characters on his shirt and during the "Am I the only one who gets it people?" line she went up to him and said "What is this like Chinese writing or something -pause- is it a menu?"

I wasn't there, but I've heard from several people that one night recently when Cheyenne is arriving at Xanadu and asks "Is anyone out there?" Jackie hollered "NO! That's why we're closing, duh!"

"July 26th Matinee (I was onstage):

Jackie (to a guy wearing a muse costume in one of the popcorn seats): "What is this, a cry for help or something?" (That stopped the show dead, but then she added) "Let me ask you something, when you go to Little Mermaid do you dress like a FISH? HUH??" (she stopped the show for at least a minute or two). "


AHHH, that was me! lol

Last September, at the "Am I the only one who gets it" part...

In the front row of the stage seats, there was a mother/father/daughter family, and two young men sitting together. Jackie walked up to them and said "Right, gay couple and nuclear family?" Stopped the show for at least a minute.

I saw the show last Saturday night and sat on stage. There were several preteen girls sitting in the front row (on stage). They looked extremly bored and I believe the line was soething to the effect of, "this is why wicked is going to be sold out for ten years and we're closing." It was cute and got the girls attention.

I love reading these adlibs :) Last time I went, there were two ladies sitting in the onstage seats next to an elderly couple. The elderly couple were wearing Xanadu t-shirts and Broadway hats. The two ladies had to be spoken to about not eating or taking pictures before the show and didn't really laugh much afterwards. After the "Am I the only one who gets it?" part, Jackie walked over to the elderly couple, checked out their clothing and said "Aww, aren't you two cute." Then she paused before pointing towards the two ladies while saying, "Why don't you show those two b*tches how to have a good time. They've hated everything we've tried."

The other funny one was from last Halloween at Xanaboo, when Jackie asked the man sitting on stage chewing gum and not laughing, "Hey great costume, who are you supposed to be, the boring guy who chews gum?"

Man, I wish I had known how insanely funny this show was when I first came to New York. I would have seen it a few more times.

Final show ad-libs...

Cheyenne: Hey, this place is empty, right?
Mary: Of course it's empty, that's why were closing!!!

Mary: Caliope, tell us a secret.
Jackie: I DON'T HAVE A JOB.

Jackie also did this thing where she hugged Cheyenne's leg and started singing "Somewhere" from West Side Story".



End of the show....

Mary: Waddu mean? Across the street at Les Mis they haven't even gotten over the first barricade yet, the writers and stagehands are on strike, over at Spring Awakening the teenagers haven't even gotten to first base, and next story at GYPSY, Patti LuPone hasn't alienated her first daughter, and finally across the street at Equuis, Harry Potter hasn't even whipped out his magic wand yet!

I think one of my favorite Jackie adlibs was her last before Whoopi came in and she went over to the middle, and said "are you enjoying my performance this afternoon?" and then broke into "and I am telling you, I'm not going" she sang a little more, went back to place everyone was still laughing, so she ran back, and finished like the whole end of the song, the you, you're gonna love me, love me, LOOOOVEEE MEEEEEEE...it was amazing...

Way back in previews, my friend and I were onstage and after "am I the only one who's getting it up here" she went to my friend who had long blonde hair and said, "and what happened, did Paris get out of jail already?"

Ugh. I really wish I had seen this show more. Any idea who is touring in the show - in place of Mary and Jackie? I can't imagine they'll be as funny. I mean, just when they both come out of the trapdoor in the beginning, and I was already laughing. They're just naturally funny.

There have been sooooo many. One of my favorites was when there were 2 gay guys wearing silver shirts in the back row where Mary had checked her hair & lipstick earlier.
Jackie comes up to a young girl in the front and says (pointing to the guys) "Hey little girl... look at the men in shiney shirts with no wives!" Even Cheyenne, who always keeps a straight face cracked up for that one. It took him a good 3 minutes to regain his composure
