SCARY Wedding Singer fan sighting!- Page 6

Why are you people being so mean? I will tell you what, these girls are the next generation of theatre-goers and I wish that I had the guts and glory to dress up to the Wedding Singer. Instead, I just take the coward route by telling everyone I know to go see it!

I think you people need to re-evaluate your stuffy theatre ways because this is great! And although I know that I do not know their (the cast) personalities, I would like to think that they appreciate the dedicated fans who kept this show afloat as long as it did whether they dress up like me or not. People like me who saw this show 5 times...and girls like this who are self promoting the show. I think this is great, and I will say it again: ROCK ON!!

And one more thing: just because these girls may dress up does not mean they are stealing the thunder from the cast. These girls are probably fueling the cast, because guess what? If the cast didn't like it, they wouldn;t be throwing the props their way. Maybe I should dress up??? LOL!

Renthead... rule one of the entertainment industry is "appease the fans.. they buy your product".

We're not stopping them from doing their job. We shouldn't. Their actors. They are paid to not get distracted.

Hun, they are humans.. not machines. You, especially being front row, are worse than candy wrappers, and clel phones.. or even a crying child.. because YOU should know better than an infant.

I'm reminded of a story.
I did a show last year. My costar's girlfriend was in a VERY big Broadway show at the time.
As we were all having dinner, I referenced, obliquely, the actions of someone with whom I am acquainted in regards to this show. Not by name, only by action.
She knew exactly whom I was referencing. The entire cast knew. They were not amused. In fact, they were downright scared.
What's really funny is it didn't involve dressing up and going to shows. It involved acting as if these people were your close, personal friends, seeking to impress them with knowledge of their personal lives and histories, and being far more frightening than wearing a wedding dress to a show.

Yes, this we do not do! We don't act like their best friends. I have heard of that before and I've seen people do it and that is where I personally DO draw the line

But yeah, thank you.

Holly, I honestly don't know the circumstances of your dressing up and going. What you do is your own business. If I were there and you were bothering me, trust me, I'd say something. If you weren't, though, my life would go on.

Still, it raises an interesting point. I'm not speaking to the quality of the show but it certainly wouldn't hurt the producers' pockets to capitalize on this idea and market TWS as a sort of Rocky Horror dress-up extravaganza. It's not like putting a few more tushes in seats would hurt them or hurt their chances of marketing this show that way to the amateur world.

Red track suits?

I've been keeping up with the thread, and I have to say I agree with broadwayguy. A Broadway show is nowhere near the same as Rocky Horror. Though I'm more concerned with the fact that it may be distracting to the audience. But I don't think costumes are proper attire for a Broadway show.

My point was that there are things far more disturbing to your average chorus boy than a girl showing up in costume.

I know- I was kidding.

if they marketed it as such, fun, and fine. but under the circumstances.....

[RentHead2]

Posted: 12/19/06 at 4:18pm

See but Rocky Horror was a broadway show and people did dress up to go and to be quite honest, after going to see the Wedding Singer....and judging the age of the audience nobody is expecting formal attire.

I think this is a great way to promote a show, especially this one. I mean if this was Grey Gardens, my opinion would be totally different. But this show is fun and cute, and honestly if the ACTORS OF THE SHOW DIDN'T LIKE IT...these girls would not be getting the props they throw into the audience. Congrats HOLLY! What is the problem here, I bet most of you that are commenting on this don't even like the Wedding Singer. B/c if you did, you know exactly what type of crowd goes. This type of show is NOT A FORMAL AFFAIR. Muah!

Just so youknow, RentHead, we love you and we hope you say hi one day!!!

rent, rocky horror was a broadway show.. yes. however, during its original run, it did not happen. The dressing up became a tradition at the late night showings of the film when it was rereleased as a midnight mahem flick and that tradition became ICONIC.. THEN spilled over to the stage version. BIG difference

Holly, you're clearly going about your fandom the wrong way. As per your naysayers, what you should now do is google all of the performers in the show. Memorize everything about their personal lives - where they went to high school, to college, what color they paint their toenails on every second Saturday - and be sure to let them know all of this information as if it will somehow endear you to them.

Whether or not Rocky Horror did it initially or after some success is completely irrelevent. The point is that people dress up to go to fuel the cast of the show.

These girls are showing how much they did this show, give them a break. Like I said before if the cast members are making nasty comments, they shouldn't throw their props at these girls or encourage them at stagedoor (which I know I have heard before). And for the record: if I was to dress up like a member of this cast, I would shoot for Linda.

FELICIA FINLEY, SHE'S FIERCE (hahaha Title of Show)

bway is right - the "familiar" behavior by fans is what really creeps out actors. They are nice to those fans because what choice do they have in that circumstance? It's a big dilemma.

[broadwayguy2]

Posted: 12/19/06 at 4:30pm

actually, it's COMPLETELY relevant.

They might as well give the props to someone who won't throw them in the trash can on the way out. At Apple Tree, someone tossed the rose Cheno threw at them back at the stage!

They won't be rude to the fans at the stage door.. not good business.

If more people dress uplike Felicia, maybe she'll carry a gun in her cleavage during her next show.

Im sorry I have to laugh: says the guy with a picture of Jared Polanski on his avatar. You rule dude. So does this mean, you have memorized everything about JARED. Did you dream Jared???? Grow up!

bway, ya forgot the *s*

[RentHead2]

Posted: 12/19/06 at 4:35pm

who ever said Holly would throw the props out? What??? This girl sounds like she would save them - and Im sure if you asked her, she has them saved. Might as well give them to a real fan, instead of some stuck up theatre goer. Remember - it's fans like her that kept this show going.

Thats what everyone is forgetting!

[broadwayguy2]

Posted: 12/19/06 at 4:36pm

rent head, that is what I said... they throw at the people they knew would keep them, not trash them.

Yeah, that would be Jared Padalecki.

People like me who saw this show 5 times...

I fail to see how that is relevant.

I bet most of you that are commenting on this don't even like the Wedding Singer.

WRONG! I've seen the show several times. I love it. That doesn't mean I think I need to dress up in costume and do the show in the front row.

I don't get the point of that post, bway.
