Holy Buckets there are a lot of posts on this thread! WOW! :)
Ok, I saw the show for the first time tonight. I'd never seen the movie... I know, I live under a rock, I guess. I grabbed me a Student Rush ticket and sat front and center and WOW, I'm so glad I did!!! What an amazing show!!!! I'm not going to lie though, there were some jokes that didn't go over so well, but overall, I loved every minute. The music is contagious and EVERYONE in that cast each have their own moments to shine and they do it BEAUTIFULLY!! The drunk at the bar - HILARIOUS! Cindy Lauper... PEED MY PANTS!! Linda... HYSTERICAL! When I listened to that on the recording, I didn't get it, but now that I've seen it, it ALL makes sense.
Gosh and the whole time a part of me was so sad that this wonderful show is closing. The audience was a little sleepy tonight, it's true and the balcony was nearly empty which broke my heart even further. This show is so well constructed and deserves to run longer than half a year.
Can someone clarify, it's probably been mentioned, but I don't have time to weed thru all 5 million posts,... Is there going to be a tour? A few months back I heard it was going to start in Minneapolis but then I read that the producers were still in "talks" about the tour. I hope like heck this one goes out on tour. I think people who can't get to Broadway will eat this one up!!
I was pretty upset when I read that Nicollette was going on for Amy Spanger. I love Amy S. (I'm an old school Renthead who saw her at her start of her Maureen days.) So I was not happy before the show. But then Nicollette came on and made me forget Amy. She had a few glitches with props and costumes tonight (has she performed the role much? just curious. Probably just fluke things) But she was killer!
Golly, I wish I could see this one again, but I leave town soon for 2 months.
SAVE THE WEDDING SINGER!!! :)
