GYSPSY:
So I got to my hotel at 6:45, and RACED over to the Center...it took me forever to find too...it's in such a RANDOM location next to all the other theaters. Or at least, the first day i was there it seemed that way. I went to the box office, and they literally had 2 tickets left...so I got one. I was sitting Mezz, last row, but DEAD center. It was an excellent seat, and for Patti I didn't give A SH*T where I was sitting.
There really isn't much I can say except that it was STUNNING! I really enjoyed the fact that it wasn't a HUGE production. It seriously relied on that talents of it's AMAZING cast, and I so much appreciated that. Especially in this day and ago of theater...that doesn't happen very often anymore.
Patti was exceptional, I'm pretty sure I creamed my pants of joy at the end of Rose's Turn. OMG! There's really not much more I can say for a review. I was enthralled, enraptured, delighted, and amazed. It was excellent!
So of COURSE I went to the stage door...and YES Patti DID come out. I got my picture with her, and I had her sign my LES MIS cd, I also cried a little bit. She looked at me, and said "YOU'RE SUCH A DOLL" and then we took the picture after I calmed down, lol. It was an AMAZING start to my trip...and I'm SO grateful I was able to see it!
XANADU:
WOW! I had a BLASTY BLAST! I was sitting in the on stage seats. In the first seat on stage left. So I had an excellent side/front view of the show! It was so exciting to be sitting there, and look up and see all those GIANT disco balls....haha, it was most excellent.
Everyone was on that night, except I had an understudy for Cheyenne. I was a little dissapointed until I saw what he looked like, and heard him sing. He was great, and I'm pretty sure I have my new man crush. (Of course my heart will always belong to C.J.)
The show was SOO funny. It was everything I could have wanted in Xanadu, and I AM PROUD to now call myself an OFFICIAL Fanadu! Yay!!! The best part about the whole show though was Mary and Jackie! GOOD LORD are they brilliant...it was so funny to because Jackie kept coming up to me and talking and making faces at me the entire show. I LOVED IT! What other show does that!? Overall, I really enjoyed it. It is, as the critics say, "heaven on wheels"
Story time: Before the show I met Jackie at the stage door while I was taking a picture of the Marquee. I told her how much I liked her, and how funny I thought she was...and she goes "Oh you're sweet. but go away, I look like a ****ing idiot standing here...UGH...I'm crazy!" HAHAHAH...gotta love her.
the entire cast was SOO sweet...especially Andre Ward! He's also got AMAZING energy on stage! WOW
GREY GARDENS:
Is the BEST/ MOST BRILLIANT/ ARTISTIC/ AND PHENOMENAL piece of theater I have ever seen in my entire life. It is a TRAVESTY AND IMMENSE loss to the theater community that this show has closed! I'm devestated, and I'm SOOO soo grateful I was able to see it. I can't imagine what it would have been like to not experience this show.
I was crying literally the entire time. of joy, of laughter, of sadness, of heartache. It was so real, and truthful, and Ebersole...what a gift her performance was. I will NEVER forget seeing her.
It was so special, when she stepped out of the house at the beginning of Act 2 the audience gaver her a standing ovation. It was stunning, I was so proud to be standing there, cheering for this AMAZING performer. She was absolutely beaming also, and then she started to cry and put her head down. then smiled again, and went on with the show. It was emotional, and I've never seen something like that before. But she truly deserved EVERY SECOND of it!
I liked the first act which was entertaining, but NOTHING can ever compare to the fantastickness of Act 2! MY GOD! MY FREAKIN GOD! The whole thing was a marvel to witness. Especially the ending...Another Winter...so amazing. I was balling, and when she walked back into the house I just wanted to reach out and just huge edie. It was devestating. So devestating.
I can't explain how much this show moved me, and touched me. I'm so grateful to have seen it. Ebersole gave IMO one of the greatest performances Broadway has/ probably ever will see
