JACKIE HOFFMAN KISSED A SOLDIER-IN-TRAINING ONSTAGE TONIGHT

JACKIE HOFFMAN KISSED A WESTPOINT CADET TONIGHT DURING THE SCENE IN XANADU WHERE SHE FAMOUSLY IMPROVISES (IF YOU HAPPEN TO BE THERE ON A LUCKY NIGHT), THEN SAID, WITH HER LEGS IN THE AIR, "SO, HOW DOES IT FEEL TO KISS A 1,000 YEAR OLD WOMAN?"

THE CADET WAS THERE WITH A GROUP OF TEN OTHER CADETS.

THE HOUSE WAS IN HYSTERICS FOR 5 MINUTES.

NOW, THAT'S BROADWAY.

That sounds awesome.

She could host The Price Is Right

She's hysterical! Love it!

I'm assuming if he was from West Point he was at least 18. not that I...think there's a law against underage kissing, as sesboa pointed out.

Kissing like a Cougar would kiss a young guy or kissing like my Aunt Carmella used to kiss me hello and goodbye?

She really needs her own BROADWAY one woman show ASAP!!!

Don't pick on Jackie!

she's awesome ++ adorable

Why is the movie pertinent to the show? I didn't see it and I love the show

Could Jackie have her own VEGAS show like Bette Midler? I haven't seen Bette yet so I odn't know if she's any good. Has Jackie ever been a stand-up comic?

Yeah, half the Military is gay. Go to any gay chat site online. I think every screename with Military, Navy, or Army is taken. While "don't ask don't tell" is enforced, guys get around it (by going to Xanadu for example).

I was born the year after the film came out and its one of my favorite films. Some of us aren't the product of our generation. If we were we'd be on Beyonce sites all day.

I was at that performance (Fri. Apr. 25), and perhaps there was a slight exaggeration. She did indeed kiss the cadet (after cooing Marilyn Monroe-ishly "Thank you so much for serving our country"). It may have been a 5-10 second kiss, and there was some cheering and applause, but I wouldn't say it stopped the show for any number of minutes.

Mary Testa also made reference after the show when she and Jackie were making an announcement about donations for Broadway Cares. She said that Cheyenne Jackson would pose for photos (for $20) and/or one could get a cast-autographed poster (for $60). She then said what if one of these cadets' commanding officer's noticed said photo/poster? "Is that a gay poster on your wall?!" "Sir, no sir!"

That hurt my eyes.
