BSo-I agree with you-Williams was as good a Scott as Brandon was. I wouldn't be able to select a favorite. And Jenna Coker is a gem-she's one of a kind. Her stand in wasn't very good-I'm glad you saw Jenna.

Glad I got to see this while it was still open and with the entire cast. Closed too soon, it'll probably be revived at Circle in the Square in 20 years and will be the darling of the message boards with crys of "why did this FLOp the first time!!??" Well this was anything but a flop, just sad it couldn't stick it out til the next tourist rush. Jenna was definitly the stand out in the cast. And not to sound like a creepy stalker but I fell instantly in love with her from the fifth row...ok so it does sound creepy, but still. March 24th can't come soon enough.

Question for anyone who saw it after January 27th.....was the S-Mart cut from the final number because it didn't come down the performance I saw. Anyone know why it was cut?

Are you talking about the night that the black scrim didn't go up to reveal the S mart store? They performed the scene in front of the scrim anyway. It was a technical malfunction that had happened more than once.

Yep that must have been the night. Being the only time I had seen the show I figured it was just always done in front of the scrim but then I hopped on the myspace page and saw the really cool S-Mart drop, so I guess that answers my question. I just couldn't figure out why they would cut it, but obviously it wasn't cut.

Well, at least you got to see the shemp!

[Carl Magnum]

I did, the scene was hilarious, rediculous and looked as fake as the shemps did in the movies just turned up 10 notches. Can I admit getting sprayed with the blood from the hoo-haa from the 5th row really made my night?

Bso you seem a little angry that you didnt see the fake shemp.

>>>"Glad I got to see this while it was still open..."<<<

Would it have been possible to see the show once it closed?

[BSoBW2]

Posted: 2/19/07 at 4:26pm

Well, I like my shemps.

No, I just really loved the show.

I glad you loved it, because its love worthy!

Don't let it die. The thread I mean.

Stupid bitch!

"Don't let it die. The thread I mean"

Glad to oblige, BSo!

Now- I thought Shemp was one of the three stooges or another of those guys. What is a shemp on stage?

[BSoBW2]

Posted: 2/19/07 at 10:11pm

I assume a shemp is the same thing as it is in the movies...

Thought the name does come from the Stooge.

[Jane2]

Posted: 2/19/07 at 10:12pm

I don't know what a shemp is.

Can anyone tell me? thanks in advance! I guess I can google it.

[BSoBW2]

It's a stand in that was filmed from the back or a foot or whatever.

Raimi coined it (as a Stooges fan) when the principles left and they still had to film. Some of the people who stayed back - like Campbell stood in as the other characters.

lol-like that dentist going in for Bela Lugosi in Plan 9 From Outer Space?

Got it!

I loved when they ran over the bunny. That was hilarious.

And the gofer (?) that sings.

that's right, BB, thanks for bringing back the thread!

I was watching the webcast video with all the actors...and Brandom did his stupid bitch line.

I think I liked Ryan's reading better. It's been stuck in my head all day. And I've used it a few times.

Musical Theatre is the devil! It's a stupid bitch!
