Not a musical, but its Broadway nonetheless. Can't wait till Emcee hears this!

Wonder if we can get them to add a little song for him to sing...or require him to come out and open every performance with a song...

Yes...I want to eat my cake and have it too!

Wait a minute! Paul Bratter keeps all his clothes on in that show. I know-- I directed a production of it.

Well then, they'll just have to make a little change, now won't they?

*starts to hand the soap to Emcee...then tosses it out the window*

Yes...I think a little creativity might be in order...surely the wardrobe department can take a little liberty. How does one apply to be a Dresser????

You KNOW I don't need that soap.

[beacon1]

Posted: 11/29/04 at 8:20pm

You're right Emcee...It's me that does. LOL!

I just can't wait to see him at the Stage Door to see how "huggable" he truly is!

[luvtheEmcee]

Posted: 11/29/04 at 8:21pm

I'll be the judge of that.

[beacon1]

Posted: 11/29/04 at 8:23pm

The line forms behind me, Emcee--you've already had a couple of close encounters with TSMrW!

*sigh* I am opening a savings account tomorrow!

And I am now also fully authorized to judge hugs.

Hmmm....didn't I always say the role of the Phone Installer had my my name written all over it?

I'm thrilled that Patrick is coming back to Broadway, but I have to say, that's a gawd-awful picture of him.

Yay! At least I was already planning a trip to NY for sometime next year, now I just need to wait and hear confirmation that he is doing this production and when it opens and ta-da. I'm set.

[beacon1]

Posted: 11/30/04 at 8:12am

Now...think, think, think...who will they want to cast as his leading lady? A well-known performer...or perhaps...someone new...unknown...someone who has little theatre experience...someone who is a frequent poster on BWW who would volunteer to sweep the theatre after everyshow, too...

hmmm....

And, again, where do you sign up to be a Dresser???? :o)

[Dollypop]

Posted: 11/30/04 at 9:41am

The female lead was announced a while ago. Can't remember who she was. Meg Tilly? Dunno.

[beacon1]

Posted: 11/30/04 at 9:43am

Meg Tilly???

CAN'T POSSIBLY BE ANY HAPPIER RIGHT NOW!!

I think Amanda Peet was mentioned to play opposite him.

[SueleenGay]

Posted: 11/30/04 at 3:38pm

Okay, so you are all excited about Patrick's return to Broadway, but why this old war horse? Isn't there something a little more challenging than an old and clunky Neil Simon play? I am sure there are people that would pay to watch him take a dump on stage, but at Broadway prices, why? WHY? WHYYYY!!??

[beacon1]

Posted: 11/30/04 at 3:54pm

Amanda Peete---another one who has no problem removing her clothes as part of a performance, LOL!

Hmmm. Possible creative options for this production. hee hee
