Funny ad-libs — Page 2

Patti LuPone dropped her plate onto a woman during A Little Priest once and the woman handed it back and Patti thanked her. Then Micheal turns to her and says "See? It IS too greasy!"

I lol'd.

Laura Benanti in TWS (after she lost her shoe and Stephen picked it up):

"If you were really my friend, you'd put it back on..."

When I saw The Apple Tree, Marc Kudisch choked while singing and playing the guitar to one of his songs. I think it was the first song in the second story. He finished coughing and said, "I get a little choked up when I play this one." Then the conductor, from the left box seats, yelled down to him and said, "Why don't you just take it back from [whatever word it was]. And Marc said, "Okay, we're just going to start the whole song over again!" And so he did.

Gotta love that man.

Right before DANCING THROUGH LIFE in WICKED, Christopher Fitzgerald as Boq was following Kristin Chenoweth down the stairs near the side of the stage. The stairs are very narrow. During the performance. He said "Miss Galinda!" and tripped on a stair and tumbled to the ground. Kristin turned in horror and said "Oh Biq, you're so clumsy sometimes." and through out the scene Christopher refered to falling telling Norbert "Don't fall. See those stairs, their narrow. Don't fall down them."

When I saw Hairspray in Boston with Bruce Vilanch, these were his adlibs:

He's been doing this to me longer than the Big Dig. One if by land, two if by sea.

I always melt when you speak Hebrew.

"Omg, Kelly, is that who Tim Howar was talking about during the year end wrap up interview?"

Yep! Very very amusing performance. After the show, she was like "You weren't supposed to be laughing! I was dying! Dead, almost! And you laughed!"

i saw wicked in 03 the day after thanksgiving. kristin was dancing around during the popular scene right before the song....the microphones made a little bit of a noise. She clutched her stomach and said, "Sorry. Guess I had too much turkey yesterday!"

my friend who saw Wicked the day after the tony awards said that kristin said to idina in the popular scene "you look like a tony award!"

when i saw annie get your gun with andrea mcardle in december, there's the scene at the beginning of act 2 where annie, charlie, buffalo bill, and kids are on the boat and annie sees a bird that she's gonna shoot for food. She shot it and nothing came down. So she said to 2 of the kids, "Go get the bird over there." Then the scene continued....about 2 minutes later, the bird suddenly fell down from above and Charlie said, "There's that bird. I knew it had to come down eventually!"

A Friend of mine saw wicked...and for some reason Galinda's bubble wasn't working so she had to walk on stage or something...and then during the catfight scene

Elphaba says "We I guess we can't all come and go by bubble....and apparantly neither can you!"

^ Awww. :)

Spelling Bee, all the time!

Another good Hairspray Boston one -- I saw it the day after the Red Sox lost a pivotal game to the Yankees and during a break in "Timeless" Bruce Vilanch stops and says "Why don't we sing something from Damn Yankees"... stopped the show for a good five minutes,

Also, I saw the regional premiere at North Shore Mussic Theatre, and Paul Vogt and Dick DeCareau just threw zingers at each other for a good few minutes... nothing that I can remember offhand--but it was just funny!
