Did NO ONE like my show?
Man, I thought the naked party was going to go across really well.
I guess we'll half to close early.
My investors are going to be so disappointed.

I have another idea...

supporting actress: none
supporting actor: well, Barrett Foa will be Max's ummm... swing? or standby I guess, and he'll do his own naked review for the Tuesday matinees.
Category: naked revue
plot/story premis: Music, dance and verse fuse together in a spectacular and enchanting blend of fantasy, drama and romance as the one and only Max Von Essen delivers his extravagant brand of comedy; singing, dancing and offering hilarious and touching backstage anecdotes ... all while being completely NUDE and LIVE on stage.
music: various
lyrics: various

lighting: Natasha Katz
sound design: Scott Pask

CATS, I can't believe you just stole the premise of my NAKED PARTY!

Have you no decency?

none!
Although, mine is more of a classy naked review. It'll be just like a cabaret show except he'll be naked. Which as we've all seen from his website is something he's not uncomfortable doing, so we might actually have a shot at this! All we really need is a theatre a sound system, a little black stool and a pump (just in case...). All else it optional. We don't even need a curtain...

"the fact that he is an orphan is made pubic"
I'm a bit ashamed to say that I just laughed like a 10-year-old at that.

Posted: 6/17/04 at 12:35amhaha...it's ok we all need an immature laugh once in a while..I did too lol!
re: Make Your Own Broadway Show#35
Posted: 6/17/04 at 12:40amI red that over, like, twelve times trying to figure out what you guys were laughing at before I slowed down long enough to notice that it doesn't say public. Now, I'm laughing....
