Like thespiangeek said, there is always an attachment to the original, but I really liked Constantine. I wish I could combine aspects of Constantine, David and Matthew and I could create my ideal Sammy.
How was the house tonight? Anyone know? I looked at the grosses for the week and 8 shows did worse than WS. Last week sales had gone up. I'm not sure what to make of it, yet. All I know is the place was full when I saw it.
The grosses scare me a ltitl ebit.
I need to go back to the show. It's been almost a month.
Let's not forget Adam Zotovich on for T. Oliver and Eric on as Mr. T. Like an understudy party over there at Wedding Singer.
On the grosses again...
I wonder, are the grosses always down on the week of Broadway on Broadway? Perhaps people wait around for the "free sample" and then select a show to see the next week? Anyone know the history enough to answer this?? Just musing...

I don't think it has anything to do with Broadway on Broadway. It was a tough time for the city. Summer is over and everyone isn't on vacation anymore. Plus the 5th anniversary of 9/11 was on Monday and that tends to slow things down right before which was this past weekend because people get nervous. It's not a good time for Broadway in general and a even worse time for shows like The Wedding Singer that weren't doing too well before that. Time will tell.

So is Lynch still on vacation, or was he just randomly out? Anyone know which one's doing it tomorrow?
I thought Lynch was supposed to be back last night, as his vacation went through 9/10. ...Hey! Yeah, um, no person. What's up with Lynch being out tonight? LOL

hmm, well thats interesting. lol
Constantine is performing at the Viper Room in Los Angeles on September 19. The show was booked prior to his getting in WS and he is honoring a prior commitment. He also has a performance in Dallas September 30 and October 1 from what I was able to gather too.

And no, as far as I know laura isnt back yet that would be like.. the greatest surprise in ALL the world to go on sunday and that ending up being when laura comes back. hehe. Seriously, I would spazz SO.MUCH. I know, I know, it ain't gonna happen, but I can dream, right? :P

I wish Laura was back, I want to see her so badly!
I want the girl with the golden hair to stay forever.
Laura IS coming back relatively soon. She is getting better. I'm not sure if I'm allowed to say the exact date (and better to be safe than sorry), but it won't be that much longer.
That's great! Glad to hear she's getting better.

seriously? soon? ok... that um... kind of makes my whole night quite a bit better... because, its kind of a long story, but i was going to be going to see it this weekend... and now that trip is in major jeapordy over something completely out of my control. But... if laura's coming back soon,I'm thiinking it might just be better to wait anyway :) however, the major problem is, I really dont know that I'll have anyone to go WITH if I dont go over the weekend. So I'll be REALLY really upset it my friends go this weekend and I cant go and then I cant go at ALL.
sorry, had to vent. Im done now, I promise!

AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YOU JUST MADE MY LIFE!!!!!
So shes gonna eb back by october 14th right??? cause thats when im going and i REALLY wanted to see her for my birthday! that would make it the BEST bithday EVER!!!!!
Drunky:thank you so much for letting us know! im not kidding, you just made my life!
Aw, I missed Laura! I have a question.
As we all know, the ensemble for the show is...spectacular. They are all so freaking talented, why the hell can't they get leads?! Especially Cara Cooper. What's with her keep getting cast as an understudy?
Someone's obviously not hearing/seeing Cara properly when she auditions for stuff. That's the only logical explanation I can think of.
