I saw the show tonight (9/24) for the second time (my first time was last May) and I have to say that what I thought was a really great show the first time around has improved almost 50%. The cast was so unbelievably on tonight and I don't know if they are going all out since it is the (TRAGIC) end, or if the show has really gotten this together, but it seems criminal to me to close a show that has really hit its peak! I wish that there was something we could do to keep it running!
Great show tonight!!! The cast is totally at the playing around stage, and it was so much fun.
Good impromptu's included Mayor Matilda's speech about gyrating hips... and added orgies at the end, making the cast laugh and clap for her when she got backstage. Also, in "It's all right" when Dean does his funny dance and ends up in front of Sylvia, his hands ended up (on purpose) her breasts. She started laughing and could hardly sing, the cast was all laughing, I had tears running down my face from cracking up. Good times!
That must have been to get her back for what she did to him at the matinee - she covered his face with the rag she was holding at that same moment. When Dean says "See ya" and runs out, you could tell Curtis was laughing. :)
Yeah, Sharon said that was what he came up with, and the whole cast was watching from the wings or from the stage because everyone knew something was going to happen and didn't know what. Sharon said she'll get him back tomorrow, I'm looking forward to all the little changes and nuances and playing around then.
All the vocal variations have been interesting this week, too... solos going higher or lower, and riffs more creative than the last. Talented, talented, talented. If all they don't gigs already lined up after this, I sure hope they do soon! I'll be at TARZAN, that's for sure.
Yeah WholeLotta, I noticed that too all week, lots of different variations, I like them though. Makes going to live theater a great experience, it changes every time! Where are you sitting tomorrow?
just posting because the thread has 666 replies and I hate that number.
Idina: Somehow I got myself to the stage, came out at the end of the show, and I had some kind of closure.
Some guy: You looked great!
Idina: Thanks...I WAS SO HIGH!

I noticed at Bway on Bway the huge Cheyenne had already been taken down, and now they've split that space to feature SWEET CHARITY and the Chita show... BEFORE ASU even had a chance to close! I didn't think that was very cool.
A dancer might dream to see her name in lights and mean it,
but all she really dreams is to make someone
else feel the way she did when she first saw a dancer.
And that is so beautiful-Anonymous
