It's just a lot of fun.
I've seen it 3 times, and will go back when that dreaded closing night comes.
I went because it was on TKTS. I go now because its a great way to spend two and a half hours. I miss seeing Tina though (saw her twice, Laura once)

ill definitly let you guys know how christina does when i get home tonight.
and to answer someones question from before, yes most of the time theyll come to the stage door after a matinee, most of them leave and come back, since there is a bit of time between shows. some do stay at the theatre.
Sometimes the guys just stay in for their poker game, but usually they'll come out first, then go back in.

lol, I didn't realize. Hope she does great as Julia.
One more week for me. I don't care who plays Julia. I am just so happy to be going to NYC and seeing this show.
"and is laura sick? jw since its unplanned. and someone said tinas busy tonight?"
Tina's absence was scheduled (a wedding!), not sure about Laura's.

Here you go guys! I'm exhausted so it's maybe not as detailed as it would be so if I remember anything else drastically important that I forgot to put in I'll add it later!
So Christina was AMAZING!!! She was cute as a button. She wore Tina's costumes. Her voice was so cute and sweet and beautiful. Her acting was phenomenal. You never would have known it was the girl's first (and sadly probably last) time going on as Julia!!! We totally shocked the people next to us by telling them that! Her performance was completely flawless and even fellow cast members were amazed at how wonderful she took to the role!
She cannot even be compared to Tina and Laura because she really made the part her own, I loved it.
In 'Not That Kind of Thing', to quote Eric "You know Christina it's all great that you're getting into the part and everything but seriously girl, do you need to upstage us?!?!" in reference to the purses and the "I said hold it!"
The audience was soooooooo receptive to her, it was truly wonderful. Her drunk acting during 'Saturday Night in the City' with Amy was hilarious!!! Her "I am not tipsy...I'm hammered!" I cannot even begin to describe, it was so amazing.
Her voice really blew me away, especially during 'If I Told You', really amazing. And in the scene before that with the whole "Hi! It's nice to meet you I'm Mrs. Glen Guiglia!", she did it in a totally different way than Laura and Tina have both done it, it was so adorable.
Her chemistry with Stephen was definitely there, but it wasn't as strong as with Tina or even Laura. But it didn't affect anything at all really.
It really was an amazing performance and I feel really lucky I got to see it. Christina is truly amazing and talented and she was like shocked that so many people went to see her, her friend had atleast like 7 or 8 bouquets of flowers she was holding for her, it was cute.
She was too cute for words at the stagedoor too. Haha and I definitely turned fangirl at the stagedoor and got pics with Christina (OF COURSE!!!), Ashley, Matt, Matthew, Eric, Tracee, Amy, and Joanne. Haha it was great cuz now I definitely have pics with everyone I want, except I need a new one with Nicolette and she snuck out tonight BOO!
That's about it!!!
