Hilarious Comments Overheard By Tourists and Audience Members — Page 81

It's especially interesting when Nikki Renee Daniels understudied for Fantine! And I liked the performance of Sweeney Todd that had Brian Stokes Mitchell as Sweeney and Celia Keenan-Bolger as Johanna. So an African-American guy (African-English, since it's London?)fathered a blonde, Caucasian daughter? I think Lucy's been messing around with the Judge. ^_^

I guess that's the beautiful thing about theatre, it transcends race. Norm Lewis can be Sherie Renee Scott's brother and Sierra Boggess's father! As long as Cheyenne Jackson doesn't, like, play Seaweed in Hairspray.

But yeah, Les Mis can definitely be hard to keep straight. I just thought it was cute that when Javert said, "M'sieur Le Mayor," my friend thought that was his name. She knows all the characters and she can keep the story straight, but she just never realized that that wasn't Valjean's pseudonym.

At Sunday in the Park With George, when Dot come out, she has' a huge bussel, and some one goes, "Jeez, I could sit on her ass" it was really funny

Talking about Les Mis. When I saw the show the Asian-looking girl was young Cosette and Leah Horowitz was older Cosette. But Judy Kuhn was Fantine so it all looked right at the end...LOL.

Oh my paws and whiskers, I have one! (Also, why is this thread on page 7?)

I went to see a play in London last night. The people in the seats in front of me came in a mere few minutes before curtain and revealed to their friends, sitting next to me, that they'd gone to the wrong theatre. They'd gone to another theatre, handed over their tickets, been waved in, had their bags checked, been seated, and I believe it was only when the people who actually had their seats came in that they realised they were in completely the wrong theatre.

... and I sat there the whole time thinking "I totally have to put this on BWW". The fools left at interval, which was good for me, because I couldn't see when the fella took it upon himself to lean forward in his seat (srsly, guys? YOU'RE BLOCKING THE PEOPLE BEHIND YOU WHEN YOU DO THAT!), but was sad for them, because the second act was full of hilarity and hilarity. I don't feel very sympathetically disposed towards them though. ^_^

I was standing in line to get tickets to Xanadu when these people walk by saying

Girl: What's Xanadu
Other Girl: maybe some kind of arcade
Girl: Why would they have that on broadway?

DRSisLove ~ THAT made me laugh out loud. Thanks. And you know...it's probably not far from the truth. LOL.

Overheard by: Leonidas

Guy #1 flipping through showbill: So, what else has Mary Poppins done?
Girl #1: Greg*.
Guy #1: What?
Guy #2: Oh, yeah -- you know Greg from work? Apparently he did the chick playing Mary Poppins back when they were both living in LA. He lost his virginity to her, in fact.
Girl #2: Wait, wait -- you know a dude who cashed in his V card with Mary Poppins? Oh my god, that is just all sorts of awesome!

Yesterday at the Wicked stage door everyone was asking Julie Reiber who she played in the show. She was in for Kerry as Elphaba. Julie looked at me like "WOW they have no clue do they"...LOL.

I was on BWW, and my grandma came up behind me to see what I was doing. On the screen, there was an ad for "Tale of Two Cities."

Grandma: Oh, look! They're doing Les Miserables in English!

I overheard a really good one the other day at the Shubert.

TOURIST 1: I'm so excited to see a Broadway show!
TOURIST 2: (angrily) We've seen Broadway shows before!
TOURIST 1: No, we've only seen tours.
TOURIST 2: Yeah, well, those are Broadway shows! Broadway tours, Broadway shows!
TOURIST 1: Are you sure?
TOURIST 2: Yeah! Cats is coming in here next, you know!
TOURIST 1: Really?
TOURIST 2: Yup!

Maybe he thought "revival" meant bringing something dead (the movie of Xanadu) back to life.
