Posted: 3/23/06 at 6:35pmIt's hard enough, thank you. I read it wrong. I got 7/20, which was 70 points.

I got a nine...I've only seen it once a few months ago. So now that I am a failure @ school I also fail at Broadway

I knew it was the yellow M&M's, and I KNEW it was peanuts. And yet...I write M&M's. D'oh!
I also missed a few questions cause the last 3 times I saw the show was the adults only. I almost wrote "Leaf Coneybear has...Crabs" (I did get that one right, though)
Still...for shame.

Just got back from the Bee tonight (Sf of course). They're doing the BCEFA right now, so my friend and I bought signed and decorted boards that Marcy broke during "I Speak 6 Languages". They're really cute and it's a good cause so I'm happy.
We also got to see Evan D'Angeles go on as Mitch tonight. He was really good and made for some new jokes so I enjoyed that (though I hope James is okay!).

Posted: 3/24/06 at 2:16pmMy teenage son saw the SF show last night with his HS choir on their tour. They won't be back until late Saturday night, so I'll post his comments later. I'm jealous.

Liotte, they were just selling the boards for $40 and signed playbills for $20.
Jud, your son was with that crowd?? Haha! They were so loud (in a good way). The cast really enjoyed them because they were so into the show. You'll have to let me know what your son thought of Evan's Mitch.
#613re: Spelling Bee love!
Posted: 3/24/06 at 5:53pmI wonder why they aren't selling anything really creative this year- not just Bee, but all the shows. Oh well.

Posted: 3/24/06 at 6:10pmliotte, I know you've seen every u/s go on for every part. What does todd look like when he goes on for Leaf? Do they change his hair or put a wig on, or do they just keep it the same? I've always wondered what someone other than Jesse would look like as Leaf.
#615re: Spelling Bee love!
Posted: 3/24/06 at 6:13pmTodd wears a blue and white beanie hat, and he takes it off for I'm Not That Smart (the part about his hair), and when he plays Logainne's dad.

Meredith,
My son was with his high school choir. There were probably about 40 of them. They are a fun loving bunch, so I'm sure they probably were very into the show. Most of them do theater at their high school, and this year's show - Anything Goes - definitely lived up to its name. There were a whole lot of adlibs in their show, so they probably really appreciated the flavor of the Bee. I'll let everyone know what he thought when he gets back home.

That's a picture of the board Liotte.
Jud,
That's cool. I know that the cast got a kick out of the group.
#619re: Spelling Bee love!
Posted: 3/25/06 at 12:50amThanks for the pic! The NY board is a little different, they have the whole spelling bee logo on it.

They had a board with that on it too, but I opted for the Bee version.
What else do they sell at the NY show?
#621re: Spelling Bee love!

Oy, Tarzan has kept me busy for a few hours and I just saw your question!
They sell the kickboards, posters, playbills, and the BCEFA notepads, mousepads, and hats. Nothing too fun.
Last time in the fall, they had mini dictionaries (maybe from opening night?) that the cast signed.

Posted: 3/26/06 at 12:42amHas the lotto been crowded this weekend? I am going tomorrow night.
#623re: Spelling Bee love!
Posted: 3/26/06 at 3:18amLotto wasn't crowded really here in Sf. They had a really awesome auction though (that I won!). It's Olive's number card which had broke on one side during a show. They all signed it and put a backstage photograph of the entire cast on the back.

Here's a picture of Jenni Barber (in her Olive costume) & me with the card.
