"Oh my God Jennifer Hudson was amazing but I thought she was a little too big for the part."

Heard getting rush tickets: I loved Ani Konni Rose in that black woman musical honey? remember the title?
Wife: No.
I had a conversation with this friend of mine shortly after RENT (the movie) came out. I don't even know how we started talking about it, but somehow we ended up talking about how Mimi has AIDS and she said, "Wait, Mimi had AIDS?" I'm like "yeah" then she said "Oh my God I didn't even realize that!"

REALLY disturbing conversation I heard the other night at The Fantasticks off-broadway:
Elderly couple, maybe around 60-65 years old
Wife: *yawn* Honey, maybe we should just leave at the 'half time' so I can catch up on sleep. Because if we leave early, I can go to sleep earlier.
Husband: We'll see how the show is. Maybe we'll like it and stay
Wife: I don't know. We'll probably leave. Hm...maybe we could have sex when we get home later...
Husband: Hmm sounds good.
But they stayed until the end of the show. Atleast they're happily married.

I heard this on the street after a matinee performence of Wicked.
Man 1: *sings some of "Thank Goodness" from Wicked
Man 2: Ew. Don't remind me of that bitch.
Man 1: You mean Galinda.
Man 2: Is that what her name is?
I walk past them laughing. I then see the same couple a few minutes later screaming at each other.
Man 1: You BITCH! Galinda is the nicest girl I've ever met!
Man 2: So THAT's where you go every Saturday night! You're a dumb f*ck to be cheating on this piece of art.
Man 1: You flatter yourself you man-stealing suck-up!
Man 2: UGH! Don't use those innuendos in PUBLIC!
*they suddenly start making out*
That is possibly the strangest conversation I have EVER seen/heard.
(1) How did Man 1 "meet" Galinda?
(2) Why did they suddenly start making out??

In the middle of Rent, my aunt asked me what AZT was and if they were sick.
And at Spring Awakening the other night, there was an old woman who kept trying to talk to the stage door guy and he was just like, lady, go away. And then she has her playbill opened to the page of head shots and then said to every single cast member, "Show me you, show me you!" She also interrupted all of my conversations. Needless to say I was quite annoyed.
"I can picture that mexican guy from the Legally Blonde movie that stands up during the trial scene and yells 'You Bitch!'"
"No, Chucks a guy who's friend-"
"You Bitch!"
"Show me you, show me you!"
haha.

My brother asking me about rush tickets today...
Brother: So everyone who lines up gets cheap tickets, right?
Me: Well, they have a certain number of seats, but if you're in the line before the cut off, you get a seat.
Brother: Well, thats mean. You wait a few hours and get screwed over.
Me: That's what happens...happened to me once.
Brother: Did you just go to TKTS and tickets?
Me: Well, I didn't have enough money for TKTS
Brother: TKTS is so cheap, 55 bucks for a show, man, what a value.
Me: Rush seats are like 25...
Brother: Really?
this really isnt too funny but i got a kick out of it being there
i was at les mis wednesday night and this family from England was sitting behind me and during intermission, the boy who must have been at 17 years old said "well i was born and raised on the london cast recording and this...well, is very different. I am looking forward to 'little people' though.." and when he found out that Little People was taken out he made the strangest sounding gasp i have ever heard and ended it with "oh dear no" like he was about to cry
I happen to have another good one happen to me today...
At a rehearsal for an improv group my mom is in (I run the lights, sound, etc- but theres no lighting cues, so I basically sit there, but I digress)
We were setting up chairs and the group got on the topic of good shows currently running...
A man from the group: I heard "The Dirty Chaperone" is a great show. Also "The Wedding Planner", but thats closing soon.
This was from a few months ago. I just remembered it and I can't believe I haven't posted it.
This dumb blonde in my Science class found out me and my friend were going to Wicked that night. This was her response when we told her because she saying how bad she had wanted to go and how she liked the show.
"You guys are so lucky! I love that Popular song and Defining Gravity!"
My friend and I started cracking up and didn't feel the need to correct her.

Sssshhhh! Don't say "The Wedding Planner" too loud! Someone may hear you and it'll be the next big Broadway Musical flop with an insane fan base...
