I think somebody finally found a way for me to enjoy Jersey Boys.
There's not enough weed in the world for that.
Maybe he was smoking heroin...
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?

I wonder if Daniel Radcliffe will get deported over this.
I'm sorry, but does this thread remind anyone else of an after school special?
When I used to usher at Wicked there were a few of us who used to get really high b4 we went to work. Once I almost let it slip in front of the house manager. Believe me, the show is much better that way.
I learned it FROM WATCHING YOU!

I don't blame him for that. If I had to be nude in front of that many people I'd need some artificial courage as well.
When I was at the stage door of Speed The Plow, people were looking through the door that leads to the alley where the stagedoor is. And, they got all up in arms when they saw that Raul was smoking. Then there was someone else at the stagedoor who was smoking and another fan told him to put it out while Raul was signing. Raul's comment was I don't mind.
Lizzy, you totally beat me to the punch. That exact phrase went through my head
WINSTON, we are discussing ganja not tabackee.
I hear HAIR will have a "smokin' tokin'"
area under the lovely terrets of the HIRSH.
MARIJUANA, MARIJUANA
WANNA, WANNA
MARIJUANA.
This gets my vote for "Best BWW Thread Title of 2009"...even though we're only a month into it. Bravo, BroadwayEnthusiast2!
Can you blame him? You saw Jersey boys.

The August Wilson theater building houses several production offices separate from the theater space.
Access to that little balcony is not through the theater (including backstage), but rather through the office section of the building. [You can't get there from here.]
Could have been anybody.

That sounds fun, maybe next time he should invite others.

I love this thread!
I must say that the 2nd act of NINE was much better than the first after I chanced upon meeting Mr. Marley in the 2nd floor bathroom of the Eugene O'Neill Theatre. I thought it was pretty outrageous that he was smoking it in that tiny bathroom... but if I gotta smell like it I'm gonna at least join the fun... :)
And, let's always remember that the reason the set for A CHORUS LINE is a bunch of mirrors and gigantic white line has NOTHING to do with an audition for dancers...
