Damn, I wish I lived in NYC! This sounds like a blast. This site seems more like a family unlike Playbill.com and Broadway.com...it is great to watch it grow! Now Rob, can there be photos for this get-together??

[Craig]

Posted: 3/16/04 at 4:37pm

There will, indeed, be photo coverage for this event.

That's great! I really wish I could attend. Will BWW.com still be around in 2006+?

[JamieMcG]

Posted: 3/16/04 at 5:04pm

OOOOHhhh...that's my FAVORITE director...I can't wait!!! I hear he;s really cute too!

[Craig]

Posted: 3/16/04 at 5:09pm

I hear he is high maintenance and wears funny shirts

[JamieMcG]

Posted: 3/16/04 at 5:13pm

I hear despite his being terribly high maintenance and his fashionable attire, he's really great in bed. :)

[Craig]

Posted: 3/16/04 at 5:17pm

OK. I haven't heard that specifically - but how would his bedside manner contribute to this great benefit.

Wait. Don't answer....

[JamieMcG]

Posted: 3/16/04 at 5:22pm

I don't know but he certainly gets pretty great performers for his shows...

[Craig]

Posted: 3/16/04 at 5:25pm

Yes. Well we here at BroadwayWorld.com are very happy that he is on board to direct Standing Ovations. And we are also grateful for the surprise guest(s) that he will be bringing that are yet to be announced..

[JamieMcG]

Posted: 3/16/04 at 5:25pm

Well, since he signed onto this one late, I'm sure he will only bring his talents to the table...and maybe a few extra people....since Broadwayworld.com clearly worked so hard filling up this roster of wonderful people to work with ahead of time.

I can't wait to put myself in his hands!

Ooooh, Eddie! Love your new photo!!

[Right Said Rick]

Posted: 3/16/04 at 9:14pm

Yeehaaw! This is gonna be a real shindig! I can't wait to see that Eddie Varley get up and hoot and holler. He's like Buck Owens, Minnie Pearl and Tom Bosley wrapped up in one tiny, effeminate package. Now, that what I'd call a triple threat. I just might be persuaded to play the spoons for ya'll.

Great lineup guys! The stars are really coming out for BroadwayWorld and Broadway Cares. I can't wait!

Jamie- The big question is, what are you wearing under the skirt? Jean Paul Gaultier rocks!!!!!!!!!!!

[JamieMcG]

Posted: 3/17/04 at 11:56am

All I can say about what I was wearing under the skirt (kilt) is this...the floor of the Riverside Church (where Children of Eden occurred) is made of marble...marble ain't very warm. and...I'm Scottish.

[MasterLcZ]

Posted: 3/17/04 at 12:00pm

I love the Scots. They're among the friendliest and hottest men in Europe.

This is very exciting news. Will Eddie be judging the speedos competition?

I can't believe the cast for this event! And there are going to be more surprises? Any hints?

I think I might splurge for the VIP section just to get the book too...

Rob, Craig or Jamie - will there be an intermission?
