I saw Wedding Singer today at two and Tina was in for Laura (obviously) and Kevin was in for Steven.

I am going to write a review on the thread I started yesterday.

Just wondering- was it REALLY grandma that was actually doing those cartwheels..etc?

It didn't look like her and if it was- G/d knows how she does it! How old is she?

LOL! Oh no. Magic of theatre, yes, but the people who do that dance break are two ensemble members in look-alike costumes. I don't know exactly who, but still.. LOL

SweetQ, didn't you notice the strobe lights went on at that point, and a little disappearance and reappearance?

Lynch can't dance like that.

I do believe that Cara does the Rosie stunts (the two times I've seen it that Cara was on as Holly, the grandma could NOT do the worm, that's what made me think it was Cara.)

Matt Allen does the George stunts.

Ooooh, well! Now I know who does that. Thank you. LOL

In an interview with Cara, she said she played the dancing grandma.

I would have guessed Felicia. Private joke.

Whoa. Thank you.

It didn't look like Grandma. Plus, she went behind the curtain literally 1 second before "she" came out to do her thing.
At least I'm not dreaming.
That was a good set-up though Magic of theater is right....

How old is Grandma anyway?

Oh- and at the end of the first act when she pulls the string and the water pours down of her, the person sitting in front of me loudly said "No way! Holy Sh*t!"

I think Rita is in her 70's, at least. She was the original "Girl" in The Fantasticks off-Broadway, and that opened... oh God, I can't even remember when.

"And here is a weird question, did anyone see TWS matinee yesterday and notice the shirt Richard Blake was wearing at stage door?!"

I was at the stagedoor. Please tell me that you're Heather, because I would like to personally tell you that you are my hero for making a shirt that says "Richard Blake is > Chuck Noris."

I am....glad you enjoyed that shirt. It amused many, apparently.

LOL! Hi Heather, nice to meet you.

I got an amazing headshot and the sweetest note from Tina. She's a real sweetheart and you can just tell that she appreciates the letters and responds whole heartidly.

[Phantom2]

Posted: 8/14/06 at 7:56pm

BroadwayNYCGirl- Great icon!

[SweetQintheLights]

Posted: 8/14/06 at 7:58pm

BroadwayNYCGirl- how long did it take to get it from Tina?

Anyone send anything/ask for headshot from Amy Spanger or Richard Blake?

[BroadwayNYCGirl]

Posted: 8/14/06 at 10:19pm

Phantom2- Thanks! I adore Tina!

SweetQin the Lights- Tina's pretty quick. I want to say a week or less, but since she's going on as Julia now and her schedule is going to be a little busier than normal, it might longer. But I bet she'll still send it to you pretty quick. :) Best of luck
