HAHA the stage door guy... I was watching that interaction... I think he's related to our favorite person there in the morning for rush... Must be!!

He was such a rude individual. I saw you over there laughing the entire time. I swear he must be related to Ursula from the rush line.

This 'rude guy' wasn't being rude to the cast, I hope?

No, he was rude to people standing there, who were doing absolutely nothing but standing and waiting. According to him, "it's not my job to be nice."

Mind you, no one was doing anything but standing around. Next to Normal is not exactly a "wild" stage door. There were no obnoxious fan girls around. It was almost entirely grown adults waiting to say a few words of congratulations to the cast.

And jordangirl, Ursula hasn't been there in a while! It's been the very friendly, pleasant, short, blonde-haired lady recently. Updated On: 5/6/09 at 12:41 AM

Oh that's good. She was there on Saturday, but I smiled and was very nice to her, so she didn't yell at me. :)

I saw Lin-Manuel walk by the theatre at around 5:30--- He is such a great guy !!! Didnt see him at the show, but he seems to be a fan. Believe he has seen it a few times already.

As far as Best Score--- think I will cry if "N2N" doesnt win !

Now, now. That umbrella was one millimeter over the edge of the barricade. :P

You know I was only laughing at how extreme he was being and not at you.

Ooh...wait... Ursula hasn't been seen at rush for a while, and I don't remember seeing this guy before... Hmmmm... I wonder... Haha!

And don't forget... his foot was 1 millimeter beyond, not the barricade, but a random demarcation in the barricade that nasty stage door guy decided to create.

I'm not sure what is with the staff at the Booth. They are among the most, if not THE most, unpleasant I have encountered at any theater. Of course, there are a few exceptions, but too many of the people I've seen/interacted with there are just down-right rude with no justification!

Despite that, it was an incredibly awesome show last night with so much energy from the cast and the audience.

Oh is that what the rest of the fuss was about? I guess he figured the planter hindered me from damaging anyone since I was kind of wedged in there. LOL. At least I was dry.

Yeah, I havent seen Ursula either lately (love that name! ) :))

A good thing--- the other woman is a sweetheart !

His lines were seemingly so random! He randomly decided to pick this little wedge in the barricade, and then had a hissy fit when my foot was beyond the line. Then he told me I was causing "a lot of problems."

Between he, Ursula, and that one man at the box office, and Lori the manager, there are an awful lot of rude people there. Thank goodness for Margaret, who is like a ray of sunshine over there.

And jordangirl, don't worry, I know you were laughing at the idiocy of the situation. I was cracking up too, as was the random stranger next to me.

OK. :)

This was my first experience with this guy... The other one I've encountered there is nice. He did come over and fuss at the people behind me and to the side who were against the wall...but I guess I was behind his arbitrary line of the stand of the barricade. He was definitely crazy. And on a power trip!

Haha, I was at the stage door and didn't notice that situation! Do you think Aaron didn't come out because he didn't want to deal with everyone being like, "oh, you were robbed", etc.? I felt like he was really pushing hard in that performance and giving it his all- I hope he's not too disappointed- he's amazing.

[jordangirl]

Posted: 5/6/09 at 4:57pm

He did come out not too long after Alice had left. There were 3 of us there. He seemed ok overall, but we didn't talk long.

[Harpz2006]

Posted: 5/6/09 at 5:06pm

Ooh, really? Wish I'd stayed like five more minutes!

[jordangirl]

Posted: 5/6/09 at 5:12pm

Yeah...it wasn't that long really.

They look awesome! I love the purple coloring too.

Posted: 5/6/09 at 10:26pm

Ugh, the purples are clashing to me. Might just be the picture, but the marquee art and the quotes have that unfortunate "too close to contrast, too far away to match" clashing. But I was always unhappy with the art, so that's not too surprising. Okay, nitpicking done!

There was an article in the local paper about Alice Ripley and Allison Janney's Tony nominations. They're both local pride in these parts. I'm rooting for Alice regardless, but the local interest aspect can always make it a bit funner. I still remember, the Dayton City Paper did confirm her casting at Second Stage months before anyone else. Too bad Susan Blackwell didn't get nominated too, it would have been a local girl hat trick.

The few dates remaining on TDF have been removed!

Good for the show, bad for my college-sized wallet.
