"At the opening night party, they had clowns on stilts, jugglers, a chocolate fountain, popcorn, hot dogs. [My son] looked at me like I had been holding back. Like, 'This is what you do?' I had to tell him, 'No, no, darling. Opening nights don't usually look like this.' It's usually a dark bar with a bottle of vodka." ?Chitty Chitty Bang Bang's Jan Maxwell

Although Im more than slightly biased to this production, I adored it.
Can't wait to be able to see it again.... not to mention, whenever I want!

I LOVED this show! So much.
His Liza was truely amazing, bacon eyebrows and all. Mario Cantone can do NO wrong in my book. I saw the clip they had on the Showtime website and nearly peeped laughing when he did his impersonations of Liza and Judy("He stole my sets you know!).

Posted: 5/30/05 at 1:07pmI saw it on Showtime last night and he had me cracking up! Especially during his Liza set near the end. Oh, and I loved his little homage to Elaine Stritch at the very end: "Everybody LAAAAAAAAAUGH... LAAAAAAAAAAAAUGH.... LAAAAAAAAAUGH!" I was dying.

Posted: 5/30/05 at 1:32pmI thought it was hysterical. I loved his Judy and the song he sang with the "straight guy"...

Too much of a good thing. He's much better in small doses.
