Funny story to bring some holiday laughter..
walking through midtown just after Noon, I spotted several Wedding Singer fans (I did not recognize tham as the usual suspects) coming from the student rush... four girls.. ranging from pre-teen to late teen.. and they were all dressed in COMPLETE Wedding Singer costume... one even had on a (BAD) wig!
1.) (who looked to be maybe 15) was dressed as Linda in the rock wedding gown... complete with stileto thigh highs, wig, veil, train.. the WHOLE nine yards
2.) (the youngest of the bunch.. thankfully) was dressed as 'Waitress Julia'.
3.) Saturday Night Holly
4.) Shopping Trip Holly
dear GOD it was a priceless sight!

Oh.. I forgot the best part.. they all trucked it into Starbucks at 47th and 8th and spent 3 bucks on cups of coffee!
ok I totally saw them at that Starbucks earlier today- I was walking past and saw three (I only noticed three) girls sitting at the table in the window, one with a veil and two others.
I just figured it was plain old NYC craziness- didn't make the connection that they were supposed to be dressed up like TWS folk.

there were four.. i walked behind them for a full block until they went in.. laughing hysterically.
HAHAHA! That's amazing. Thanks, I really needed that. Wow. Wish I could have seen. Must have been excellent! Thanks for sharing!
broadwayguy2: How did you know they spent 3 bucks on coffee?
The cheapest Starbucks drink is $3?
As if it's not hard enough to be musical theater fans in this society - we really have to turn on each other the way the rest of the world treats us?
I'm with Rath.
Sorry, but no one's ever gonna pay 3 bucks for a cup of coffe, broadwayguy.

Hahaha... Of course they won't. Did ya hear? Coke's changing its formula! They're gonna call it: "New Coke!"
Wow... That's awesome. I wish I was them... That would be SO much fun.
God, I hope you're joking.
I've heard of those girls before. Apparently, the whole cast is scared of them.
Well if I was a member of the cast and people were dressing up as my character, I'd be scared too. haha.
obviously, they have no life.

That's a bit harsh. They're showing their passion for something they love in a really cool way. If I was in the show I'd never stop talking to them. They're obviously REALLY big fans, so it would be really good to talk to them.
Well, actually maybe that's my other fandom talking. I happen to be an HP freak too... Dressing up is no big event in that fandom... Lol.
I saw them walk into Starbucks. They were a sight. I didn't make the WEDDING SINGER connection, though.

No...it's freaky. And it scares cast members.

I can understand why some people would find it creepy, but I wouldn't. They like a show enough to make a public statement about it. I think that's cool.
Then again, I'm one of those weird kids...

yes, it's creepy.. very creepy.
it was creepier because the one dressed in the linda costume was SOOO underage it was sleezy.
foster, i didn't see you there!!!!
I think using the word "scare" is a bit of a hyperbole. What's scary are threatening letters, etc. This isn't scary.
And, it's no creepier than people who spend their lives at the stage door, frankly.

Rath.. I didn't mean scary as in "they are going to do something drastic".. I meant it as in "oh my god... they look trashy and those costumes are awful and they are in PUBLIC that way!"
That is...quite amusing. In a sad sort of way.
