Posted: 3/13/06 at 4:29pmPart II: If you could dine with any Broadway star, would you definitely offer to pick up the entire check, would you tell them to order anything and everything they wanted, and would you take them to an expensive restaurant? If yes, about how much would you budget for this?

Is this a serious question? I like it!
I would take them to an expensive resturant and I think I would offer to pay for the check and see what they said as their response. I would probably go to "The View" on top of the Marriot or SArdi's because I like sardi's a lot. And I would make sure that I had 200 dollars to spend. Because I went to dinner at Sardi's with a friend of mine and it was about 120 dollars.

Wait, why do I have to pay? I might offer to pay, but I fully expect Patti LuPone to insist that she pay. She has more money than me. Besides which, I've probably put at least a billion dollars into feeding my Patti addiction over the years--she must owe me money anyway.
I'd go to the bathroom right before the check came.

Well since the one I want to take is Adam Pascal, I'd be willing to pay almost any amount of money. But if I'm paying that much, it better include dessert...

Posted: 3/14/06 at 12:02pmI think I would offer to take a certain somebody (don't want to say who) to Chez Josephine...only if he loves that place. I don't think $200 will do it, though. I think you ought to bring at least $400 with you. Chez Josephine is an adorable French restaurant on 42nd & 9th Avenue, owned by Josephine Baker's son.

Glinda2 .... Guaranteed, your certain someone is a much cheaper date, and doesn't really care for French cuisine.

Some of the people on this board who know me may understand why this thread made me laugh like crazy...
But to answer the question, it would be Patti Lupone. We'd go to a very classy restaurant, and drink lots of champagne, and have fabulous conversation. I would offer to pay, but she would INSIST she pay instead. But because she's Patti Lupone, an admirer from another table offers to pay for our dinner. So we order even MORE champagne, and get completely drunk.

I'd let Brooke Tansley max out my platinum card any day of the week. She could invite all her friends too. Unfortunately by the end of the night they'd all be in love with me, and I'd be broke.

I'm glad you're laughing. Your message made Me hysterical. I think your Lupone fantasy could even be developed into a TV sitcom. I definitely see possibilities. You have a great imagination, but let's take it one step further. What if the the people at the next table who offer to buy you and Patti dinner were, let's say, Michael Douglas & Catherine Zeta Jones? It could happen. They live in New York.

Glinda2, the thread made me laugh cause it reminded me of something that happened to me recently. Like, really specifically.
And...oooh, I love your addition to my Patti story! They offer to pay for our dinner, and then Patti (who's already half drunk) yells "Come and join us!!!" So we all sit down, and keep drinking, and talking...Patti and I secretly make fun of Catherine Zeta Jones (cause she may have won an Oscar for Chicago, but she's NO musical theater diva), and Patti drunkedly shouts that SHE would've made a better Velma anyday. I drunkedly agree. Catherine's pissed up, but Michael wants to stay on our good graces. So he pays the bill, and calls for his limo, and offers to give us a ride. So we hop in, and go over to a party at Stephen Sondheim's. EVERYONE who's anyone is there. So we all drink, and have fun, and the next thing you know, I'm the biggest hit with "Stevesie" (cause that's what I call him now).
Ok, I could SO go on making up stupid, silly things. Enough is enough. lol

Yeah, but I'm at the party too and I'm drunk AND bitter, because I know Patti's been off having dinner with other people who are NOT me; naturally, in a jealous rage, I go to throw my drink in her face, but she ducks and the drink hits someone else... Steve Sondheim. Boy, am I embarrassed. I can't show my face at a Stephen Sondheim party for another decade or so.

No, cause I put in a good word for you with "Stevesie" and he agrees to let you come to his parties.
And in gratitude, you offer to buy me dinner, and I bring Patti along. The three of us get drunk, and just have a great time. And then as a joke, we ditch Patti with the bill. :p

I would bring along Elisabeth Withers-Mendes (of THE COLOR PURPLE) along to lunch with me to eithe Sardi's or Carmine's. She could order whatever she wants, and I would pay because I think it is proper manners for a man to pay for a woman whom he asks out to lunch...
And we would be happy :)
and just to tell yall, i just got something in the mail from her yesterday, so I am completely obsessed with her now!!!! note my icon, too!

Posted: 3/15/06 at 11:32am...and then when the party ends at 5:30 a.m., and the first hint of daylight is on the horizon, you and Patti hop into her limo and ask the driver to take you to Westchester, where there is an I-Hop that you're dying to have breakfast at, and you order mounds of blueberry pancakes and coffee, and you sober up, and everyone lives happily ever after.

Posted: 3/15/06 at 11:38amI would have to say it is a tie between Joanna Gleason and Ms. Chenoweth. I would take them to Bice.

I'd love to spend an evening with Hugh Jackman. He is such a hunk and THAT ACCENT. I'll bet he also has good taste in restaurants and the best in-house chefs. In any case he's a gentlemen and he'd pick up the check.
