That's so cool Tchi!!! I am so insanely jealous of all the pics you got with people though!!! My goal was to get as many pics as I could with ensemble people because I wanted to make a cool photo album/scrapbook kind of thing to remember my awesome summer I spent at Wedding Singer, but I had gone to see the show so much it started to seem a little awkward to ask for pics as the cast got to know me more and more so I wound up with definitely not as many as I would have liked. But that's excellent you got them! Everyone is so incredibly sweet.
The show yesterday was AMAZING!!! And the rush line was absolutely insane. People that probably got to the line around 9 for the 12 opening were turned away. Because the entire center section they gave away, 101-115, were taken by people (including me) who got there between 7 and 7:45, so yeah it was freezing but definitely worth it. Except some people got so angry about it, probably about 25-30 people were turned away. I mean yeah I understand their right to be upset because they wanted to see the show but it wasn't our fault. We knew that it was going to packed that day, Cara's last being a majority of the reason the crowd was there that specific day, so we planned ahead. It's not like we said "Hey let's all come randomly today and screw people out of tickets." Every one was nuts. And I was also sitting on the right side, whereas I'm usually on the left and I actually haven't been on the right since the beginning of July, so it was a new perspective and I saw little ensemble things I haven't seen before, it was cute. Ummmmm *tries to remember little things* oh yeah! After the whole Robbie and Julia kiss thing after Robbie says goodbye and then he does the little slap thing to Glen, he just kept backing up into him, didn't stop, walked right on top of him. Amy and Laura lost it and had to turn around, because otherwise they would have been looking at us in the front row and we were cracking up too. Haha and 'Casualty of Love' was insane too! Cara's Donatella was priceless. You could hear so clearly every little thing that she was saying on the side and I guess the rest of the cast could too because you could see people on stage losing it for like the whole number. It was absolutely HILARIOUS!!! Ummmm apparently before 'Not That Kind of Thing' the guitar fell off the stand thing and somebody had to run on and get it? I didn't catch that one...oh and after the whole 'Where's the beef???' line and then the whole surprise bachelorette party it looked like Laura started cracking up because she didn't even say the line 'Don't worry I didn't hear anything!!!' but instead just threw the balloons over her head and practically ran backwards off the stage, nearly tripping on her way out! Laura also was throwing in these cute little things like after 'That lady's hilarious when she says that right?' she said, 'Oh yeah she's pretty funny...' and stuff like that. A lot of the under the breath stuff the actors usually do were picked up by the mics but even though basically only the front row were able to pick up on every little thing, it was still hilarious. But seriously a classic performance. Not as funny as I heard Saturday night was but it was definitely amazing.
After 'It's Your Wedding Day' while they were all mingling around the stage it was cute because a bunch of people were all going over to Cara and giving her hugs, it must have been so hard for her not to lose it. The only time she did lose it was at the very very end after curtain call when they all usually dance off the stage. Everyone just went over to Cara, it was so cute. Definitely a tear jerker experience. I'm going to miss her soooooooooooooo much, but I'm so happy and proud of her for the chance to do 42nd Street and I cannot wait to go see her in it!
Next to go: Matt Allen. BOO!
