Maybe I'm having a moment but I was just watching the video preview and cannot remember for the life of me when Aaron and Alice dance in a white suit and white dress. Can anyone help lol?

One more question: Does Aaron wear the same pair of boxers each night or is it just the ones he is already wearing?

Wouldn't know if they are the same pair each night...but I assume they are officially "costume" pieces.





(And it's nice to think of him possibly going commando.)

Yes the boxers are a costume piece, they're the same blue ones every time.

i'd like to make it noted that i rushed n2n sunday. saw the evening show, front row and it was absolutly nuts. a different experience from there, its just crazy. but what wanted to say, is that alice ripley cried on me. she swung her head around somewhere in the first act and a tear fell in my lap. i didn't realize how much she actually cries in the show. they were in tippy top shape at the show as well everyone was great when they needed to be and a wreck when they needed.

Haha I LOL-ed at "Alice Ripley cried on me". I'm SO looking forward to scoring those rush seats at the end of May!!

lol yea it was weird! whenever i take my brother to see a show front row he always makes the joke about getting spit on by the actors when they're singing. we got something a little different this time. i was sure if i should be creeped out or happy haha.

I'm going again on June 30. Orch row BB seat 109.

Great seat! Is that a premium ticket?

[Elphaba3]

Posted: 4/28/09 at 1:50am

Nope, just regular price. I'm glad I got such a close seat, but I hope I'll be able to see the upper levels.

Nice! I was looking at tickets the other day, and there was a row B center seat that was premium price. You're lucky!! Even if you do miss some of the action up top, it's so worth it to be that close!

[yay_gerb]

Posted: 4/28/09 at 10:03am

yea that seat is fine. i sat AA109, you miss maybe 2 things(nothing huge) in the second floor and when anyone is on the 3rd floor they're usually on the edge so you can see them. but yes its better to be close to see alice ripley go completly insane.

I made a Next to Normal wallpaper and I keep getting creeped out by Aaron Tv8 and amused that Bobby Spencer is going to nom off his own head.
See? Funny.

Aaron Tveit can look so strange sometimes.

[adamgreer]

Strange, but annoying goings-on at tonight's show...

The "Cat Woman" was back in the audience this evening. You will recall, the last time she saw the show, she was seated on the aisle, and was very put out about having to move to let people in to their seat. She also left at intermission

She was seated behind us tonight, in the middle of row B (which is actually the fourth row). During act 1 she was very loud, chatty, and fidgety. Several times people turned around to shush her.

She stayed for act 2 tonight, but, about 15 minutes in, began to announce (in a loud whisper) "I don't feel well! I don't feel well!" So, she got up, and tried to make an exit, from the middle of the row, in the middle of a scene. She didn't even wait for a break (admittedly, there are very few pauses in act 2). She was very put out that as she tried to shimmy across the row, the other patrons were not very accommodating, since they wouldn't stand up to let her pass. Loud sighs, complaining, the whole bit. You know the type. As she walked across the row, she continued announcing, in her loud whisper that she didn't feel well. After the show, my friend told me she was very close to turning around and sarcastically telling her, "Feel better!" so she'd shut up.

She finally did leave, but it was irritating, obnoxious behavior. I wonder if she'll come back. Maybe her third time is the charm and she'll make it to the end of the show?!?!?!

Just got home--- show was amazing !! Theatre looked to be at least 80% full, and the crowd was so into it. Finally, met Alice after the show, and I have to say that she is one of the sweetest people that I have ever met--- on or off the stage !!!
