Have fun!

Oh, and they finally got the opening night pix up on Broadway.com. Pity Joan Rivers had to get her botoxed face in there and taint a perfectly lovely shot of Jamie Parker. Tsk, tsk.

Ewwwww... yeah, just saw that. What's with Constantine going to like every show opening these past couple weeks? Does he want to do a show?

NOTHING can taint Jamie Parker... NOOOOOTTTHHHIIINGGG!

and yes- we SHOULD def. do a History Boys party with dinner or something afterwards!

unfort. i don't think i'll be in NY when it's playing

Well, Drone Rivers certainly puts our Jamie to the test!

What a pisser that you won't be able to make it to NY to see the show, C-Q. I missed your story, though I'm assuming you caught the show in London (though I suppose it could have been elsewhere on the tour). I think I've got tentative plans to catch it again with someone in the next month or so. Though, I really do need to get my act together and figure out just what the hell I'm doing this summer. Yikes!

Nope *sigh*. Didn't see it in London OR on tour... i'm here in lowly Texas.

when i was in NY last november i stood and watched them put up the marquee before Sweeney mat.

i went to the Drama and bought the play and fell in lurv with it. It blew me away.

Than i began shilling

i bought tickets when i THOUGHT i was going this summer for a weekend but ended up having to give them away *sob*

ugh.

Awww, I'm sorry. You're so enthusiastic, I figured you must've seen the show some point. Well, that's just sad.

I've heard the radio broadcast.


does that count?

[Caroline-Q-or-TBoo]

Posted: 4/26/06 at 7:55pm

pssst Mabel- is that Dakin in your avatar?

[mabel]

Posted: 4/26/06 at 8:21pm

Sure is! From the an opening night picture (I edited out the smoochers on either side of him).

Oh, and of course the radio broadcast counts for something! Actually, I wish I hadn't found it until after the semester's over. I keep getting tempted to go listen to it, but I have a slew of other crap that I need to be doing. Ugh!

hehe.

here's the GEEK I am.

I edited it so i have my favorite songs and scenes in little tracks. THan i put it on my iPod.

so i can listen to: Bye Bye Blackbird or the "Posner and his Problem" scene whenever.

WHO ARE THOSE SMOOCHERS?
*loser alert!*

Popping in between pages of my Virginia Woolf paper (zzzz). Only a couple more to go! Hooray!

The smoochers are Bob Crowley (sets) and Stephen Daldry (the director of Billy Elliot).

And you're not a geek. I wish more shows had some semblance of an audio/video/whatever to enjoy over and over again. I wish they had something similar with The Pillowman or Long Day's Journey from a few seasons ago.

If they had one of The Pillowman that would be cool.


Anyways, yay, History Boys! And I was checking forever for broadway.com to put up those pictures. It took them forever.

Bump...whoo! Going to see the show again tomorrow. A last minute, splurge on released house seats sort-of deal. I'm soooo bad! Maybe I can justify it as an early graduation present to myself (or a much needed reprieve from an exhausting last week of classes).

Whatever, they're a pair of fabulous seats.

[bythesword84]

Posted: 4/29/06 at 3:57pm

If they're fabulous seats thats all the justification you need.

[mabel]

Posted: 4/29/06 at 4:40pm

Indeed, great seats can't be underestimated!

After this though, any more visits will have to be strictly SRO!

[bythesword84]

Posted: 4/29/06 at 5:29pm

still...that will just help you enjoy it more while you have the awesome seats

[Yankeefan007]

Posted: 4/29/06 at 6:04pm

Saw it today from the front row....great seat. Posted a thread asking why the ensemble was totally different from the opening night cast. Anyone know?

[Caroline-Q-or-TBoo]

Posted: 4/29/06 at 6:52pm

AH MABEL! I am TRES TRES jealous!

have lotsa fun

[mabel]

Posted: 4/29/06 at 7:10pm

I'm sure I will...I'm really excited to see it again after listening to the BBC broadcast and picking up on some lines, etc that I'd missed the first time around. Plus, I'm looking forward to seeing the show sans-obstruction. Should be fun. I think I may splurge and get a window card. Hmmm...best throw a Sharpie in my bag, just in case!

[Caroline-Q-or-TBoo]

Posted: 4/29/06 at 7:20pm

A WINDOW CARD!

how awesome. they best i have is the clipped out review on my wall. LOL. buy TWO windowcards and TWO charpies and ghet one signed for me!



you should also buy the play, you pick up a WHOLE LOT. visit the drama book shop. it's a great store!

[mabel]

Posted: 4/29/06 at 7:25pm

I'm sure I'll end up picking the play up at some point. Baby steps, CQ, baby steps!

I'm too poor to go buying extra window cards, but I could probably pick you up an extra Playbill. I'd probably have to make a repeat visit sometime to try getting it signed though (I always feel obnoxious enough getting one thing signed).

[Caroline-Q-or-TBoo]

Posted: 4/29/06 at 7:32pm

i never stage door. lol. i always feel really awkward.

sorry, i don't think baby steps APPLY to the History Boys. BUY BUY BUY

don't worry about the playbill. lol. i'll high jack a plane to get to NYC and see it.

[mabel]

Posted: 4/29/06 at 7:40pm

Yeah, I haven't done the stage door thing much lately. It has to be a show (and a cast) that I really love. I do cherish my Pillowman playbill signed by the cast and McDonagh though!

I always feel like such a shmuck, so I prefer it when they've got the baricades up and they just kind of go down the line (even if it is totally impersonal). It looked like History Boys was just an open free-for-all. Should be interesting.
