SCARY Wedding Singer fan sighting! — Page 4

Hello! This is The girl who dressed up as Holly in Saturday Night in the City! I have Linda with me!

Well, these are some colorful message boards! I can see we have been both positively and negatively recieved!

Allow me to say a couple of things. First, to those who were, are, and will be distracted, I am very sorry. The cheering will be taken down a notch. We won't dance in our seats. We won't chat to ourselves (although this we have never done so no need to worryabout that... :) ).

We will continue dressing up though. This is because we have been asked by cast and crew members to come back dressed up. We have been told we are fun audience members who do well to get the audience rolling. I understand that some of you say cast memebers are "scared" of us and I think that is probably the most hurtful thing I have read but there are people who do appreciate it and we do it for them.

Now clearly some things need to be clarified:
I am 18.
Linda is 18.
"Not That Kind of Thing" Holly is 15.
Julia is 14.

Myself and Linda are of age and have every right to dress how we want. I'm not being rude when I say that, it's our choice and I don't appreciate anyone referring to my friend as "trashy". I mean obviouslyyou can say what you want but it's always been a theater thing with me to be kind of wild and out there. Basically my friends and I perform even off the stage. It's just who we are.

To clarify, not one usher said anything to us. I am not sure if people complained and if they did then that is there story but no ushers said a word to us. All we got were smiles.

And honestly, if you dressed up like that and you had George's towel thrown directly to you, the bouquet, AND the garter, wouldn't you want to continue doing it? Honestly?

We're not trying to offend the fans. We're not trying to steal your thunder. We know some of you have seen it like hundreds of times and we respect that. If the screaming felt like disrespect to you then allow me to at least say it wasn't intentional and we'll hold back there.

That is all I have to say in our defense. And I agree withwhat one person said. It is hard enough being a theater fan and it's hard to have other theater groupies turning on you as well.

I guess it's just a harsh world.

See you guys at the shows! :)

sure, dress how you want... that is fine.. but hun, trashy is trashy. It was trashy.
Second of all, the fact that you said you will continue to keep doing proves that you have no repsect for the other audience members.
And lastly, even offstage, to a certain extent, cast members 'perform' in front of fans. Just because they say "wow cool" to your face, doesn't mean they don't laugh behind your back.

HollyImposter, the fact remains that there is no excuse for acting that way in a theatre. People were screaming and dancing and singing along when I saw RENT, and I wanted to strangle them all.

Dress up if you want (though I cannot guarantee that people will receive that well,) but when the lights go down, you need to sit down and shut up.

Thank you drunky.

And yes, Imposter, I AM a performer. And I have seen it happen QUITE often.

You people need to get with it. You can't hold a candle to fans of shows in Japan. THEY know how to stalk.

And judging from stagedoor for TWS, the cast would love it!

Again, the point made above: stage door does not always equal real life. I'm not saying that everyone hates their fans (I'm sure they don't), but you really can't use that as a convincing argument.

i think we should kill them in horribly painful ways. now pardon me while i molest drunky.

I didn't want to get involved, but I'm sucked in now.

I met two of the girls this morning on the rush line. They were very nice and friendly, enthusiastic about the show, and excited to be there and a part of it. However, I will have to see how they are later tonight when they are dressed up in costume and I am next to them in the audience.

I have seen plenty of crazy fans at Wedding Singer, and while some of them are way too overboard, being enthusiastic about a show and supporting it by dressing up is fine. Not something I would ever do, but hey, if more people were that excited about the show, it may not be closing in a couple weeks!

#1) Cute icon

#2) I don't claim to know the cast members' personalities. I don't think that they go and bad mouth us, but I could be totally wrong. But I don't care. They really do act like they love it and that's enough and until I hear about it from a cast member directly, I don't plan to stop. I really think that if the screaming subsides, there's no reason as to why we would be distractions. The show is good enough to hold the audience's attention. Not four girls sitting in chairs.

Thanks to those who thinks it rocks and thanks to the chick who defended us! We promise not to spoil your night!

I don't believe it is at the expense of the cast or the audience. There is absolutely no reason as to why it should be such an issue. When I say we put on a show, I don't mean in the show, I mean just in life. On the streets. When the lights go down, we focus on the show, as should the rest of the world.

What if some crazy person came to see the show decked out in a crazy outfit. Everyone would stare at that person. When the show started though, they would completely forget about them as should most people forget about us. I asked the people behind me if my hair or Linda's veil distracted them or if they couldn't see and they were like "Not at all! You girls are so adorable!" Once again they could have lied but they were a couple of middle aged women who would have probably let us know if their view was blocked in their $111 seats.

And to BroadwayBoy2, if you are a performer who makes fun of your audience members, then that says something about you. I'm not going to make an assumption about this wonderful cast that would fall in line with who you are.

Holly- ignore papa.
