#1 Photo Flash: THE DROWSY CHAPERONE on tour Posted: 1/28/09 at 5:48pm The 2008/09 tour cast of THE DROWSY CHAPERONE: John West & Patti McClure John West & Elizabeth Pawlowski Patti McClure The Company John West Elizabeth Pawlowski & The Company <<-- Help save Terminator: SCC "The gay one?" -- Marissa Jaret Winokur on the Jonas Brothers.

#2 re: Photo Flash: THE DROWSY CHAPERONE on tour Posted: 1/28/09 at 6:42pm Is it just me, or does John West look too young for MIC?
#3 re: Photo Flash: THE DROWSY CHAPERONE on tour Posted: 1/28/09 at 6:44pm yeahh.. I don't really get that. Thumbs down for that casting choice
#4 re: Photo Flash: THE DROWSY CHAPERONE on tour Posted: 1/28/09 at 6:46pm Does MIC have a specific age? I haven't seen it yet. (Only 2 more weeks) <<-- Help save Terminator: SCC "The gay one?" -- Marissa Jaret Winokur on the Jonas Brothers.
#5 re: Photo Flash: THE DROWSY CHAPERONE on tour Posted: 1/28/09 at 6:47pm I was just about to say - he looks like a fresh-faced college student, not an aging, lonely gay man. Formerly SirNotAppearing - Joined 3/08
#6 re: Photo Flash: THE DROWSY CHAPERONE on tour Posted: 1/28/09 at 6:49pm TimesSquare3- it's implied in the script that the MIC is middle-aged. It really wouldn't work any other way. I really miss this show. "...everyone finally shut up, and the audience could enjoy the beginning of the Anatevka Pogram in peace."
#7 re: Photo Flash: THE DROWSY CHAPERONE on tour Posted: 1/28/09 at 6:49pm "he looks like a fresh-faced college student, not an aging, lonely gay man." I think you've accurately described the two halves that make up the whole of posters, here on the message board.
#8 re: Photo Flash: THE DROWSY CHAPERONE on tour Posted: 1/28/09 at 7:15pm It's more than implied... He's supposed to have already been married, divorced, come out of the closet and had enough time to ecru a vast VINYL RECORD collection.
#9 re: Photo Flash: THE DROWSY CHAPERONE on tour Posted: 1/28/09 at 7:18pm I never felt that the MIC "came out" publicly "All our dreams can come true -- if we have the courage to pursue them." -- Walt Disney We must have different Gods. My God said "do to others what you would have them do to you". Your God seems to have said "My Way or the Highway".
#10 re: Photo Flash: THE DROWSY CHAPERONE on tour Posted: 1/28/09 at 7:19pm Isn't it just implied he's gay? I mean, he never actually comes out of the closet. Oh, and I almost forgot to mention...I'm the good cop, he's the bad cop.
#11 re: Photo Flash: THE DROWSY CHAPERONE on tour Posted: 1/28/09 at 7:22pm SPOILER: He makes a comment that he was once married--and then some comment about how you shouldn't be so quick to judge!! Is this non-equity? "If it walks like a Parks, if it wobbles like a Parks, then it's definitely fat and nobody loves it." --MA
#12 re: Photo Flash: THE DROWSY CHAPERONE on tour Posted: 1/28/09 at 7:24pm Yes, this is Non-Eq. And, TheCharleston... quote of the week! haha
#13 re: Photo Flash: THE DROWSY CHAPERONE on tour Posted: 1/28/09 at 7:30pm Say what you want about John West's age. I think he's a hottie! "Long live God!" (GODSPELL)
#14 re: Photo Flash: THE DROWSY CHAPERONE on tour Posted: 1/28/09 at 7:40pm "Say what you want about John West's age. I think he's a hottie!" You think anyone without a vagina is hot.
#15 re: Photo Flash: THE DROWSY CHAPERONE on tour Posted: 1/28/09 at 7:42pm Absolutely not true, Albin. You don't have a vagina and you're about as hot as a newspaper on a rainy doorstep. "Long live God!" (GODSPELL) Updated On: 1/28/09 at 07:42 PM

#18 re: Photo Flash: THE DROWSY CHAPERONE on tour Posted: 1/28/09 at 8:06pm Dream. Boat. Bill Finn rocks. Woot.
#19 re: Photo Flash: THE DROWSY CHAPERONE on tour Posted: 1/28/09 at 8:26pm Is Patti McClure related to the McClure on the Avenue Q tour?
#20 re: Photo Flash: THE DROWSY CHAPERONE on tour Posted: 1/28/09 at 9:07pm >>>"Dream. Boat"<<< I can only hope that BillFinn's comment wasn't a remark about Albin. I'm being kind when I say that Albin looks like Morey Amsterdam on a bad day. "Long live God!" (GODSPELL)
#21 re: Photo Flash: THE DROWSY CHAPERONE on tour Posted: 1/28/09 at 9:10pm I think John West looks to young for the role too. But I'm with Dollypop- he's a hottie! Men don't even belt. Updated On: 1/28/09 at 09:10 PM
#22 re: Photo Flash: THE DROWSY CHAPERONE on tour Posted: 1/28/09 at 9:12pm Maybe he was cast because he kind of looks like Bob Saget. In my pants, she has burst like the music of angels, the light of the sun! --Marius Pantsmercy
#23 re: Photo Flash: THE DROWSY CHAPERONE on tour Posted: 1/28/09 at 9:13pm Don't let Albin hear you say that! Albin is very jealous and doesn't like anyone to agree with me. "Long live God!" (GODSPELL)
#24 re: Photo Flash: THE DROWSY CHAPERONE on tour Posted: 1/28/09 at 9:14pm John West was wonderful. He had that audience in the palm of his hand from his first line in the dark. He was fabulous. Patti McClure, however, was unable to land a single joke.
#25 re: Photo Flash: THE DROWSY CHAPERONE on tour Posted: 1/28/09 at 9:15pm Adam, we're pretty much down to the kernels now. Can you go back out to the lobby and get some more? I'll tell you what happens. Formerly SirNotAppearing - Joined 3/08
