Just got this google news alert about Patrick. He'll be on stage--but in LA. Quite a powerful cast has been assembled for this reading benefit. Wow! Kudos to Patrick!

If they add a playful "de-pantsing" scene I'll be on the red-eye! He's a perfect choice for Joe Gillis! This entire event sounds wonderful!

Hey, let's remember that TSMrW kept all his clothes on in TENDERLOIN.

Dollypop, again, you gave me a giggle I sorely needed today. Thanks! :o)

I need to find a way to get out to LA... now.
Patrick, come back to Broadway!!

Luvtheemcee:

Don't forget that he's closer to home June 14-July 4. He's going to be in DC at the Kennedy Center in "Cat On A Hot Tin Roof" playing "Brick" opposite Mary Stuart Masterson as "Maggie."

I think Dollypop is planning to go. He may have more details... Perhaps everyone can rent a bus and take a whole contingent down. Patrick would probably get a kick out of that! LOL!!!!

beacon, I bet Patrick would get a kick out of that! I have to buy tickets and make some arrangements, but hopefully I will be able to get down to DC to see him. I need my Patrick fix.

LuvtheEmcee,

OOOOH! I'm gonna be sooo jealous! My budget won't permit a field trip right now. Two requests:

1. If you go, we want details, details, details!

2. Drag him back with you--or get his sworn promise he'll
return soon to Broadway. LOL!!!

I'll sure try!! My friend has some family down there, so if we go we're probably going to be able to stay with them, which thankfully will cut costs some. It's a bit of a trip, but I have a feeling it'll be worth it.

I saw another article about this reading in L.A.

Isn't there a Betty that Joe falls in love with? I don't see that her part has been cast yet for this benefit performance. (By coincidence, I just happen to be free that day...!)

There's a good interview with TSMrW in the current edition of SHOW PEOPLE MAGAZINE. The rest of the magazine is crap, but the interview is nicely done and the accompanying photographs have left me weak.

Can I see these pictures anywhere online? In upstate NY, there's no place to find that magazine, and if I were to subscribe even right now I probably would miss that one.

You might be able to order a back issue.

[luvtheEmcee]

Posted: 3/9/04 at 8:41pm

I'll try... or maybe I can find a copy when I'm in the city this weekend. That's probably the easiest way.

Posted: 3/9/04 at 9:17pm

Won't you even share a tidbit or two from the interview? What on earth is he doing after "Cat On A Hot Tin Roof"????

And, any pictures of him as "Raoul"????

(Sighs, and checks that measure tape again for the 100-ft mark.)

i'm there!

LuvtheEmcee: Don't forget to tell the rest of us about the inteview and how those pictures look. I've have a co-worker in NYC and I e-mailed her to see if she would get a copy for me.
No response back yet. (She probably thinks I'm crazy!)

RobbO,

You're going to the Benefit Reading in L.A....I'm so jealous.
Please let us know how it is! I'm sure it'll be a great event and that Patrick will be fabulous! :o)

Just green with envy!

ugh L.A.!! I am glad that he's back in theatre but that's waaayyy too far away! Luvtheemcee and I are def gonna try to catch him in DC though!

[luvtheEmcee]

Posted: 3/11/04 at 3:19pm

beacon, I sure will! I'm going to try to pick up a copy this weekend.

Wicked_Elphie, we need to talk about that!! Getting some tickets might be a good start, lol.

Had a friend check out the article in Show People. It sounds like a good interview but a month or so old (right after Phantom wrapped--late Jan?) No word about post-Cat On A Hot Tin Roof plans. :o(

Another Film? More Stage? TV-Reality Show?--heaven forbid!!!

She said the picture of him on the first page of the article is quite marvelous. Amazing eyes! :o)

Those of you in NYC-area where "Show People" is sold...Enjoy! (The rest of us will have to appreciate it "vicariously" LOL!)

And those of you who will be seeing him in L.A. and/or in D.C.--count your lucky stars!

If your co-worker can't (or won't) get you a copy of SHOW PEOPLE, let me know. I'm in the city every Wednesday for a course I'm taking and will try to find you a copy. After all, "the milk of human kindness" pulses through my veins.

What a gracious and kind offer, Dollypop. I truly appreciate your kindness. If she doesn't come through for me, I will let you know.

She's supposed to let me know this week if she can/will be able to do it. And, I'm practicing patience and not e-mailing her 'round the clock! (After all, your uncle, the Right Honorable Justice Carmine, had that nice chat with me about my "over-exhuberance", LOL LOL!)

I picked up a copy last night. Those pictures are gorgeous!!!!
I liked the article, but it had a certain air about it that is telling me that our Patrick is becoming a little bit too "Hollywood." Just the way they described some things about him (if you've read it you'll know what I mean) like the sunglasses, for example. I don't know, I just got that feeling from it.
Dolly was right, the rest of the magazine wasn't too exciting, except for a cute little thing about Jai Rodriguez. Though he did make some comments on the style (or lack thereof, apparently) of Norbert Leo Butz and my dear Adam Pascal, it was still a fun little thing.

I'm so very happy top learn that my Uncle Carmine had a psoitive inluence on you. You will soon be know as "The Beacon of Light".
