I totally hate myself for adding gossip to this thread, but according to a good friend of mine who works the lunch shift at Junior's, a certain . . . well, shall we say young, sexy "non-muggle" . . . has been seen on the back fire escape of the Broadhurst every day since Equus opened, smoking very, very thin white "cigarettes." Apparently on a good day, if the wind is blowing in the right direction, you can even smell the fact that it isn't tobacco.
As for me, I made a fast turn around the corner of the Barrymore one Saturday afternoon last November and bumped right into Raul Esparza. He was smoking a cigarette, which almost landed on my chest. It was clearly tobacco, as evidenced by the ashes all over my sweater, but I was still taken aback. I mean, who knew a guy with such a great voice smokes before shows?
