I believe they are $50 at the theater too, but I haven't been in person and can't say for sure. If someone can verify that, I would be happy to paypal, mail, or wire the money for the record and shipping to you immediately.

He must alternate the line about the birthday card because I remember him describing the bunny which said "HOppy Birthday".

I saw Drowsy twice over Christmas and didn't sense that Sutton was bored.

The vinyls at the theatre are $55. If your friend had asked the ticket scanners if she could just walk in and buy it they would have allowed her, that's what I did.

Yeah, I did that for Mary Poppins once...my sister wanted one of those parrot umbrellas so I just explained to the house manager who was stading at the entrance that I just needed to make a purchase and he let me in...of course he watched me to make sure I didn't try to jump into the theatre ans steal a seat. But anyway, I was able to get the umbrealla without a ticket.

One of my friends wanted the Elphaba messenger bag that recently went on sale at WICKED. Its only available in the upstairs gift shop, so the manager walked us up to get it.

You SHOULD be aloud to walk in with permission to buy merchandise.

You guys have been wonderful. Thank you all so much, and especially Testing1232.

Does anybody know if they will still have any around March 31st? If not is anyone willing to purchase one for me and mail it (I will cover all shipping costs) or let me pick it up when I get to NYC?

At the 11 Mar matinee the friendly and helpful (and swamped) merchandise guy said that there were LESS than 100 records available. The Marquis Theatre is the ONLY PLACE that you can obtain the last available records. Cost is $55.00...I picked up 2 copies!!!!!

Can anyone pick one up for me? I land in NYC on March 30th and leave April 4th. I can pick it up any time between those dates. Anyone?

Do you guys actually have record players?
I know they will be collector items, but just asking?

"yes. records!"
one of my favorite lines and delivery. Updated On: 3/12/07 at 11:52 PM

"Do you guys actually have record players?"
*raises hand*
I have one! Actually I bought it after I got the Drowsy record. But I had been wanting one for some time because I had a couple albums on vinyl that I had been wanting to play. Since I purchased the turntable I bought 25 more records on ebay! (I bought in bulk ) They were cheap! About a dollar a record!
Right now I'm listening to my Pearl Bailey Cab Calloway Hello Dolly record.
I'm becoming more like man-in-chair everyday!

The show was wonderful. I was in the 3rd row and totally DISAGREE with anyone who says that Sutton and Beth were "going through the motions." In fact, I found them both extraordinarily "on" today. Beth cried and barely got through her reprise of "Stumble Along" when she took Bob's hand at the end of the show.

Casey Nicholaw was in the audience, I noticed.

BTW, Patrick Wetzel is taking over for Lenny Wolpe in May.

correction...I believe Patrick Wetzel will be taking over for Eddie Korbich in May, not Lenny Wolpe. Patrick in much too young to play Feldzieg (sp?) although I know he's an EXCELLENT tap dancer!

[ShowtuneRick]

Posted: 3/12/07 at 2:21am

Also, completely disagree about Sutton and Beth's performance. I thought they, and the whole cast seemed very "present" for Mr. Martin's last performance. Definitely think Wetzel was too young for Wolpe's part but I thought he was funny.

Patrick Wetzel told me himself he is taking over for Lenny when he leaves in May.

That's all I know.

Patrick Wetzel told me a week ago that he was taking over for Eddie Korbich in May (as Eddie will be going to The Little Mermaid.)

[GYPSY1527]

Posted: 3/12/07 at 9:00am

Interesting! I knew that Eddie was leaving but didn't know who would take over for him. I think it will be a better fit for him.

Also, it was so touching when Beth started to cry during the reprise. She is such a doll!

[miss pennywise]

Posted: 3/12/07 at 6:22pm

Patrick may have said "Eddie" instead of "Lenny." It may be my mistake. (It wouldn't be the first!)

I am sad that Eddie is leaving though because he is a wonderful performer and one of the sweetest guys around. I wish him all the best...I know he will bring so much to whatever he endeavors.

What is the big to do over Martin?

Yes he was good & the show was cute but come on now.

[BDavis0092]

Posted: 3/12/07 at 6:44pm

Well without Martin...the show doesn't really exist.

[Mr Roxy]

Posted: 3/12/07 at 6:51pm

It exists but he is not in it now

Glover may surprise everyone

Did anyone get to meet Janet Van De Graaff? She was there yesterday...and is just as sweet and affable as Bob.

I pointed her out to my ten-year-old daughter who ran over to her, shook her hand and said, "Hi!" Mrs. Martin replied, "Do you know who I am?" And my daughter said, "Yeah! You're the REAL Janet Van De Graaff. You're Bob's wife!" She was very surprised and impressed!
