Hilarious Comments Overheard By Tourists and Audience Members — Page 11

I totally thought about this thread today- I'm walking along 57th Street behind tourist dad, tourist mom, and their two tourist kids.

Tourist dad to kids: ...and then over to the Plaza Hotel. Have you guys heard of the Plaza Hotel?
Tourist mom to kids: You know, like the books. Where Madeline lives.

Madeline. Eloise. I thought it was funny- I laughed all the way to the train.

alrighty then:

walking PAST the Rodgers...



EDIT: Eug changed his post above this one! No fair! :P It used to say, "walking passed the Rodgers" muuuuhahahahahahahahaha! :P

This is something I came across online- about the Wicked tour:

I'd love to see the tour cast again myself. I've essentially already seen the Broadway cast, because they were the ones on tour last year -- would love to see it again

What does that mean? The Broadway cast was on tour last year?

Woman: What does the Q in Avenue Q stand for, I wonder?

Just kind of tickled me, and but not in an Elmo sort of way.

umm...

Wow.

ASHLEY1039: They could very well be right. On tour last year was Eden Espinosa (SF and 2 shows in LA), Derrick Williams, Jenna Leigh Green, Carol Kane, and David Garrison.

I love ABFAB!

"a little boy in the audience called out, "It's milk!" "I think you're right," Hook replied. "It's milk!" Cute moment."

That is the most adorable thing!

This was something I remember reading online a long time ago. I don't really remember the exact words. But someone had posted something along the lines of this:

"Some of the lyrics in Halloween don't make sense like when he sings "how did we get here, how the hell--Pam left.." who the heck is Pam and why did she leave?"

Since i've only been to New York once, over the past spring, i can't make much comment on things i overheard. However, i think i should share the one faux pas i'm aware of making.

My school went with a tour group, and the rest of the group had voted to see Tarzan as one of our three shows, which i was not excited about. I hadn't liked the movie and i didn't want to sit through 3 hours of Phil Collins music. Well, at intermission i turned to my friend who'd also been against seeing the show, and this happened:

Me: Wow, this is so much better than i thought it was going to be!
Friend: Yeah, the visuals are amazing!
Me: The music is actually pretty good too.
Friend: I know! I think it's because it's not Phil Collins singing.
Me: True, that helps a lot.
I'm poked by the person on my right
Other Person: Uh, guys, Phil Collins is here.
Me: Are you serious?
Other Person: Yeah, he's right there.

He happened to be sitting about 7 rows down from us. I was quite embarassed.

Just today as I was leaving after a performance of The Water's Edge, 2 elderly ladies (60s or 70s) were talking about the play, "... I don't know what happened! Suddenly there was a naked man in the bathtub!"

While this is probably more annoying than hilarious, there were 2 competing camps at the Faith Healer stage door: [Imagine screaming teens] "You were GREAT in Harry Potter!" vs "You were wonderful in Schindler's List!"
