Tonight, half way through the first scene, there was a scratching or tapping coming from one of the speakers that was hanging on the rail of the balcony. After about 5 minutes of this noise, Matthew Broderick breaks character and says, "Is someone typing out there?" The crowd went nuts, and for about five minutes Nathan Lane and Matthew Broderick just talked back and forth about the tapping sound (until it was fixed), and it ended like this:
Nathan: We haven't done this since Producers.
Matt: So should we start again?
Nathan: Well I would have just stayed in the play
Matt (gives his line): "I can't believe I'm getting a divorce."
Nathan: Come on you can see it again with more conviction.
Matt: Well then where do you wanna start from?
Nathan: I don't know, well alright...
Then they finished the show without a hitch. It was truly an amazing experience to see those two actors break character, and have a solid rant for 5 minutes onstage. The miracle of live theatre!

"i honestly forgot that show was still playing.... lol"
That was EXACTLY what I was thinking when I read this!

Posted: 5/5/06 at 11:45pmEh, sounds like it would have at least made the show more amusing than it was when I saw it (or at least shown a little more life from Matthew Broderick; I found him to be quite the snoozefest)!
But when did New Hampshire become--Such a backward wasteland of seatbelt hating crazies?...I mean, only 40 people actually live there. The others are just visitors who come for the tax-free liquor and three inches of novelty coastline. John Hodgeman on The Daily Show (1-30-07)

Posted: 5/6/06 at 12:41amI passed the theatre today and forgot it was still around. I guess all the hype died when it got poor reviews.
A little swash, a bit of buckle - you'll love it more than bread.

Posted: 5/6/06 at 12:47amI love it! My college offers acting classes, and anyone is allowed to attend the acting finals. One of the pairs of students did a scene from The Odd Couple and I was reminded of how much I liked Matthew and Nathan together.
