Spelling Bee love!

Do tell! It was the only adults only show I didn't go to.
By the way, liotte, I've never met you, but for some reason I dreamt about you last night. Seriously. I dreamt I was at some Joe's Pub gig, and you were there, and I was like: "Oh, you're liotte? Nice to meet you!"
eta: It wasn't actually you, by the way. It was some lady my mind made up. I think it's cause Lisa Howard was performing at that gig in my dream, and I associated her with your general Spelling Bee awesomeness.

LOL, I was probably there in real life too!
"Ms. Lopkey is the most popular girl in school, but I just think she's a slut." She then proceeded to grab her chest, and when she got out, grabbed Mitch Mahoneys butt and give a squeeze.
I don't remember the other spellers names or sentences, but I'll post them as I think of them!
And I couldn't even give you some of the words given to the audience members (besides the usual Mexican, Finger, Cenacle, Palaestra, etc.), they were ridiculous and the first 2 spellers got out immediately.

Posted: 3/5/06 at 10:33pmA lot of the funnier moments are physical humor, people's hand motions, body movements, etc. So it's hard to describe.
Oh well!!

Liotte, can you come and kidnap me and take me to Spelling Bee?
Thanks.

Posted: 3/5/06 at 11:00pmOh, I remembered something else that was funny- Jesus's final line after the usual, "And when you start having sex, use contraceptives, but don't tell them I told you to", Jose said something about, "And in case you want to know, Memoirs of a Geisha just won for scenic design." (or something like that)

I can now share in the Spelling Bee love...
Just got back from Adults Night. Hysterical.
Of course, there was the requisite Academy Awards/Brokeback Mtn/Bush joke.... but I wasn't expecting the pandas.
Man, they need to keep those 2 on leashes. :)
I loved it.
re: Spelling Bee love!#434
Posted: 3/6/06 at 1:35amThere have been Brokeback Mountain/Bush jokes going on for a couple months now... It was still very appropriate for tonight though.
re: Spelling Bee love!#436
Posted: 3/6/06 at 12:17pmThey have stuffed animal pandas at Toys R Us in Times Square that have a tshirt that says "I Love NY Pandemonium". It's so perfect!

I was there last night as well...thoroughly enjoyed myself. There were some jokes that I wish I hadn't read about on here from previous adult nights, as I feel they would've been much funnier if they were unexpected, but it was still great stuff.
Ms. Lopkey was actually sitting directly behind me. That was quite fun, getting the cast to be standing directly behind you during Prayer of the Comfort Counselor, heh. I laughed, because Jesse sat down on her lap, and Sarah started screaming "SHE IS A CHILD!!! THAT IS INAPPROPRIATE!!" at him, but her mic wasn't on, so only the people around us heard it.
I personally loved this one - "Mr. So and So's parents are always up at the school complaining. They're such assholes." Heh.
I wish more people would've realized that Lisa was an understudy though, because I laughed really hard at the "Half Chinese understudy/half panda" joke, but no one else around me got it.
I was out at dinner before the show with some friends, and a performer friend of mine mentioned that his roommate had just been cast as Marcy. I asked for which cast, thinking he maybe meant SF, and he said NY. He told us Deborah had hurt herself really badly, and had to leave the show for good, so they had to cast a replacement. :-/ I trust him and what he said, but of course, everything is just heresay until there's some kind of official press release. Anyway, I hope she's okay! I'm sad I never got the chance to see her (saw Lisa both times I saw the show). Really hope she has a speedy recovery...

I was there last night too! Can I tell you...I loved it when they broke into "Seasons of Love" ... and added "Schadenfreude" as the last spelling word.
Seasons of Love definitely took me off guard! Hilarious!

I hope that's not true about Deborah!!!
I will try to find out. When I talked to Lisa Y yesterday, she said she didn't know how long she would be going on as Marcy for, just waiting day by day to see how Deb is doing and when she'll be back.
On a different note- anyone going to any of the Bee performers stuff tonight? Celia at Broadway by the Year, Jesse and Deborah (supposedly) at Caberet Gourmet, and Lisa Howard's ArsNova show.

Posted: 3/6/06 at 2:10pmA friend of a friend(I know how that sounds) who works at the Bee says that Deborah is only out temporarily.

there's no way Deborah is leaving the show for good just because of a pulled muscle...
you're most definitely wrong

my friend told me that deborah recently e-mailed her and told her that she didn't know when she would be back in
she never siad that she was out for good
re: Spelling Bee love!#444
Posted: 3/6/06 at 9:43pmJust got home from Lisa's show at ArsNova. It was great, I love her voice and it was a nice mixture of songs. Indigo Girls, Dolly Parton, Spelling Bee, some new NYU student work, Carpenters, and some other stuff. I took lots of pics and videos. She is definitely going to be a huge star someday.

Oh, and Deborah is definitely coming back any day now. She's still healing from her injury, but will be back in Bee for sure.

liotte,
You changed the title! Change it back please - it was harder to find.
That's awesome that you saw Lisa's show. I would have loved to have seen it. Do you think she might be releasing an album?
re: Spelling Bee love!#447
Posted: 3/6/06 at 9:57pm
Sorry Jud! I was trying to give people more info, I will change it back probably tomorrow...
I hope she releases an album, that would be great!

From Deborah's website: (www.deborahscraig.com)
Hey Guys,
I'm going to be back soon. I just don't have an exact date but it won't be long. Who's starting that silly rumor anyhoo. I love the Bee. Can't wait to be back!!!!!

Poor Deborah. It least she's going back though.
I've gotta say, after hearing all this talk about the adult's only show, I really do hope they do one here in SF. The cast is absolutely amazing and I'd love to see their take on the 'adult's only' Bee.
