I think I am so confused it is not even funny.
Someone sent me an invitation to the myspace group for celia. I thought it was LoreliGilmore. And I thought Loreli Gilmore was Sammie. However, looking at this thread, it looks like someone is sammie.
I just PMed LoreliGilmore thinking she is sammie.
PLEASE HELP! I am confused and now I think I confused other people by PMing them.

Back from the Bee tonight! My favorite - Jesse Tyler Ferguson - was out as was Celia Keenan Bolger. But I am thrilled to report that Todd Buonopane was outstanding as Leaf Coneybear! Completely different take on the role. Instead of doing an imitation of Jesse's Leaf he made the role his own and it worked in every way. Kate Wetherhead went on as Olive and also did an incredible job. I'm not sure how many times she has gone on but you'd think she played the part every night.
Spelling Bee has been a favorite show of mine for some time now. Completely original, touching and hilarious. It's the show I recommend to everyone.
Celebrity spotting! When Mr. Panch came down the aisle at the start of the show and hit some audience members in the face with the American flag - who did he hit? Jeremy Piven!

I didn't see Jeremy Piven, but I chatted with Todd after the show for awhile and he mentioned him being there.
I've seen Todd as Barfee, Panch, and Coneybear, seen Lisa as Rona and Marcy, and Kate as Logainne and Olive. Now I just need to see Willis go on!

Liotte - I think I was standing next to you when you talked to Todd. You've seen the show 19 times?

bump, I guess.
I'm seeing Bee next week-
Should I buy the recording and get to know the music a bit first, or will all the jokes be spoiled? I'm very tempted to get the CD, but I don't want to ruin it for myself.
Any advice would be appreciated.

ihearttheatre----Be patient. I think it will be more thrilling to experience the music for the first time at the live performance. You can buy the recording ahead of time so you can rush from theater and play it to relive your time at The Bee----
but don't you dare break that wrapping seal ahead of time. It is comparable to ripping tag off mattress---punishable by I don't know what----bee lovers help me here...
Report back--

No way. The I love you song is the best song in the show. But six languages rocks as well (as does M.U.E.)

Hi, my name is Liz and I'm a Bee addict.
"Hi Liz."
Yeah. The Bee's becoming one of my favorite shows VERY quickly - Six Languages and Woe is Me own the world.
Um. I heart the shirt I'm wearing in my avatar. Sarah and Jesse are my favorites. And that's about all.
