Posted: 9/23/05 at 1:29amI was there tonight. It was my first time seeing the show. I was fairly disappointed with the production but loved the performances. I think that for someone who doesn't know anything about John Lennon (like me), there are a lot of loose ends. A lot of the things in this show are things that they assume the audience already knows so they get right to the point. Like when Terrence plays those television hosts, I had no idea who the people he were playing were, so that was a dull moment. The best part of the show I thought was Marcy. Her big song in act two was marvelous. I saw someone in a box seat give her a standing ovation after it which I thought was sweet. There were no speeches at the end of the show. Everyone came out the stage door, and Julia was limping because she tore something in her leg I believe (I later saw Julie Danao-Salkin walking her down the street and helped her get into a cab which I thought was really sweet.)

Yay julia! I was got nervous when she didn't come out for the cheerleading bit, and got even MORE nervous when she didn't show up at the Party - Marcy stepped up and became the girl who went to get her coat. I was almost expecting Nicole to come out but then Julia came limping onstage.

Posted: 9/23/05 at 11:35amMandy's so funny. She was really giggly during "India, India" the first time I saw it -- like, more giggly than she should be. I couldn't figure out why, but it was so cute.

Posted: 9/23/05 at 11:39amThere's one bit in the song when they get back together (mental block!) where Will is down on his knees, holding Julie around her hips, and I swear it's the same blocking as Elaborate Lives was. So that, plus the fact that it's Will (Julie did Aida, too, actually), I was all warm and fuzzy at that point.
