Last night the entire cast came out to sign-- even the Grandma!
Laura tried to leave without being seen, but she signed when approached.

Ok- Im ordering in 5 minutes once my friend confirms with her parents.

I just wasn't sure because it was so close to the side and I didn't know if I would have a blocked view!

Thank you

No, those seats are great. A lot better than row 19 and they are almost center. So your on the side, but almost center.

I love this show, probably a little too much. : )

I paid full price for the first time I saw it, thinking it would be sold out since it was a couple of days before opening night and I wanted to see it badly. I'm a big fan of the movie (one of my favorites that I can watch over and over) and Stephen Lynch. I read some Seattle reviews and was expecting the worst. But right when the curtain went up on all that energy, I was hooked. All the songs are fantastic.

When Amy Spanger rolled out on that platform with the water pipe, I said to myself, "No way are they doing this." And then she pulled the cord and it was like time stopped. My jaw hit the floor. I could not believe they did that. It sent my heart racing.

Being a complete sucker for great ballads, "If I Told You" really surprised me. And that scene just stuck in my head; Julia sitting on her window sill and Robbie "underneath," under a perfect shade of blue with stars above singing this fantastic song. It really gave me goosebumps. This scene is *the* scene that I eagerly awaited each time I viewed the show. I've only seen it 3 times. Damn me living in Los Angeles.

I was a little lost in the Vegas impersonation sequence because I didn't get all the references, but it was still a hoot. And the ending is such a high point. I'm glad they ended it with an upbeat party rather than the original romantic wedding.

I met all of the main cast at the stage door, missing only Mr. Saldivar and Mrs. Gardner. By the third viewing, I made it my mission to catch them before they left. I caught them quickly. They were very nice. The entire cast is so great and friendly.

Anyway, I listen to the OBC at least once daily because I love to sing along with it. I can't wait to see the show again.

Jim, you're not the only one who paid full price the first time they saw the show! Haha. It's 'cause I bought my ticket the first day they went on sale and then proceeded to kick myself when the discount on broadwaybox.com came out a few days later .... oh well. I thought the show was completely worth the $120 I ended up paying. :p

I've seen and been smiled at by both Laura and Rita, but never been able to say hi or anything. And I even caught (or.. dived for..? uh) Rita's towel when I saw the show! Ugh. Haha, oh well.

Stephen is the king of Broadway, no other leading man works as hard as he does 8/week.

Don't get me wrong, I adore Stephen and I think he is AMAZING at what he does in this show, but... well.. I'm a really, really big John Lloyd Young fan and would have to disagree with your statement. HAHA! BUT ANYWAY, this is a Wedding Singer thread (duh), so no Jersey Boys talk out of me...

Here's one more interview, and it's for Muscle23ftl and everyone else who's a big fan of Stephen Lynch, which I'll assume is a lot of folks on this 'Wedding Singer' appreciation thread.
Playbill.com: 'The Leading Men' - Stephen Lynch

That's the sixth time you've tricked me into reading that interview. Wicked Wong!

And the flashdance scene with the shower and Amy makes the show 100% worth eveyr penny (of student rush) I paid.

Definitely enjoyed this show and Stephen Lynch is perfect. Better than Adam Sandler. Updated On: 7/8/06 at 01:42 AM

BSoBW2, thanks for reading. :)

The way the Internet is, you never know who's seen what. With any luck, some folks who haven't read it, will see it now ...

Also recommended: Lynch's 'Live at the El Rey' DVD. A riot!

Actually I agree, both Stephen and John are the kings of Broadway. I wish Stephen had won, but the fact that John ended up taking the Award was absolutely deserved. He is very talented. I think Stephen shows off more of his acting skills in his role though.

I love the CD!!! There are some really wonderful songs, and the ending is gloriously romantic. It makes this Charlayne's tears start a flowin!

Wayman, any plans to do more interviews with other cast members of the show over time? :)

Wonderful interview, Wyman.

Also randomly, I loved the Jacob Young one as well.

Annnnd... random picture! Maybe I'll do a "random picture of the day" thing, haha.

Get a better pic! Come on!

To Thespian Geek: Only time will tell if I get to interview a couple of the other terrifically talented guys in 'The Wedding Singer,' but if there's any news, I'll post it on this thread.

To Broadwaybaby221: Thanks for the compliment. And if you hadn't heard, Jacob has extended his stay at 'B&B' through Aug. 20.

I went to see it because of Tina, but really loved the show. The music, costumes, dancings....everything.

Tina took me backstage earlier in the day and gave me a tour and told me all the good stuff-I almost wish she didn't because Amy getting wet could have been even more shocking!

The cast is very nice. I really wanted to meet Stephen, but didn't want to be a crazy fan. So many people come in to compliment the cast. But Stephen was very nice when I met him.

And I caught to bouquet!!!

I absoluely am dying to see Tina. When I visited NYC, it was the week after she was on 3 times! What aweful luck.

Tina is so worth waiting for.

Saw the show tonight (saw it last night too) and it was fantastic! Everyone was in and it looked like the show was sold-out!

I LOVE FELICIA FINLEY
