Didn't see a thread. Thoughts?
It started roughly, but then it got better. Also, why wasn't Sasha there? (At least, I didn't see her. I saw that Saycon sang the solo at the end)

Posted: 7/14/09 at 12:24amWas it just me or did the audience seem uber-lame, and not into it at all?

Posted: 7/14/09 at 12:24amGavin's shirt looked like it shrank in the wash. Not that I'm complaining...

I thought it was a fine performance. It looked really...messy to me though. I feel like the big numbers where they go into the audience don't really translate very well on TV. Save the Tony performance. I wish the audience was a bit more into it..hah.
And why did Conan eat the daisy Alison Case handed him...? Hahaha.

Posted: 7/14/09 at 12:27amThe audience seemed like they thought they were too cool for musical theater since they are in LA.

Gavin sliding down the railing. Made. My. Night.
Also, I think he was running on fumes as per his blog he did. Because he seemed all sorts of goofy funny during the beginning! Cute1

Audience seemed very weak. You could tell they were sitting there with their arms crossed, bored.
The Tony performance was much much better. Gavin didnt sound as good. Saycon knocked it out though.

I love how small Gavin's shirt is. Love. It.
The performance made me SO happy!

Posted: 7/14/09 at 12:32amI know! I was waiting for a mad make out session between Gavin & Will.

A few people were into it but most people in the audience seemed very uncomfortable. :/ Come on guys, It's Hair! Anyway, I thought it was a good performance. And Gavin's pants- low rise! 
Your latest 7in sounds obscene unless you spin it at a 45.

Pennywise, your avatar is my worst nightmare.
But yes, every time I see them get that close in the beginning of Hair, I swear they're gonna kiss. And I would not mind

The camera didn't work in their favor. The setup of the studio didn't help, either.
Conan's band loved it, though!
"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."

Pennywise, did I tell you that I have a fear of clowns?
I remebered watching that movie and it gave me nightmares for a month.
Don't mind bryan's posts either.

The Conan Tonight show is shot at Universal Studios. It is not a LA crowd. It is all tourists. They are also all fried from being in the sun all day at City Walk and the amusement park.

Posted: 7/14/09 at 2:47amOh....considering they were a non theater loving audience, I thought they were great...they really warmed up and were audibly VERY appreciative.
If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it?

Posted: 7/14/09 at 3:27amThat was great. I'm a fan of Gavin's shorter shirt. He can wear that anytime he wants.
