I was there as well - front row. What an amazing show!--the best i've ever seen. everyone was outstanding and there were so many little things that made the show so good. celia started crying even before Second started...dan was excellent and i got to meet him after the show - he is very nice.
I wonder how the show will change starting on Tuesday. It will probably be very different without Dan...

Did you win the lotto?
And Josh said that yes, it will be very different now. I wish I could go on Tues, but I have to work. Maybe Wed I can go check him out.

Posted: 1/30/06 at 12:32amI won't be able to see him until Sunday. But I'll try to go later, to see him in a non-adults only performance.
re: Spelling Bee love!#253
Posted: 1/30/06 at 2:34amYeah, ditto here, I will see him for the first time most likely on Sunday night. If anyone sees Josh this week, please fill us in!

What a class act Dan Fogler is!!! For those of us who were there you witnessed genuine love and affection and great appreciation for what William Barfee has meant to Dan. The friendships among that cast run so deep.
Particularly touching and poignant was Dan dedicating his last performance to the brilliant and beloved Wendy Wasserstein who is so ill..Without her, Crepuscule might never have become Broadway's Spelling Bee.
Dan, you are an original and I cannot wait to see you on the big screen.
Thank you for the great joy you have brought to so many of your fans....

Posted: 1/30/06 at 6:13pmLiotte, I was there on the 26th, too, with my boyfriend... where were you sitting? I was disappointed not to have a chance to see Dan (it was his last week... I was vaguely disappointed in *him* for not showing up, but maybe he was sick), but Todd was, of course, wonderful. And such a nice guy!

Posted: 1/30/06 at 8:27pmI'm so sad I never got to see Dan in Spelling Bee, it sounds like he made the show. But I'm glad he had a great last performance. Dan, congrats, and good luck in the future!

Posted: 2/5/06 at 6:14pmI just got the CD the other day and I adore it. "I'm Not That Smart" is just the cutest song. I'm curious as to how the audience participation thing works. Do the audience members sit in their seats or do they sit on stage with the actors? Do the Goodbye Songs work the same way they did it at the Tony's (ie walking the person back to their seat)? Thanks :)

Posted: 2/5/06 at 6:20pmThey sit on stage with the actors, and only the last person is actually walked back/followed to their seat.

Posted: 2/5/06 at 10:16pmHow was it tonight?
re: Spelling Bee love!#265
Posted: 2/5/06 at 10:20pmFunny. I like it more each time they do it, as it is tighter and more rehearsed. But I still prefer the regular version better.
re: Spelling Bee love!#266
Posted: 2/5/06 at 10:22pmAnything very different from the last adult show?

It was basically the same as last time, save a few differences. Like Liotte said, there was no "huge penis stuffed into a sock" joke. They replaced that with a joke about Barfee using a nasal "douche". It was funny, but not as effective. A couple of words were also new, though I can't remember right now. There was one definition about the audience being satiated with the racist jokes.
Loggainne's end monologue was also different. I can't really remember what it was, maybe someone can remind me. But it was different. Barfee's was also different. He gave a shoutout to Dan Fogler, which I thought was really nice, and funny, although reminding us of Fogler is probably not the best way to go about this performance...Josh does a commendable job, but it's SO hard to disassosiate this character from Fogler's performance.

Posted: 2/5/06 at 11:23pmThey also used the actually audience members last names, instead of making up Wood, Long, Bird, etc. And though the audience members spelled a couple words right, they were kicked off anyway because the show was going too long. The guy who got finger took a couple of minutes to get his composure back because he was laughing so hard, he had to sit down on the stage, and he turned bright red.

Ok, here's what he said, more or less:
Instead of saying that Barfee grew up to become incredibly handsome, he said Barfee grew up to become Dan Fogler. Who won a Tony, and filmed 7 movies in one year. "And I'm not jealous"

Posted: 2/6/06 at 11:46amI miss Dan, but I like Josh. After seeing him again, and now that I was more "used to" his performance, I liked him more than I did the first time.
re: Spelling Bee love!#274
Posted: 2/6/06 at 12:21pmI'm not crazy about Josh...I still really, really miss Dan. He IS William Barfee.
