That creepy guy sat in front of me and it was funny because every time one of the cast sat next to him he would tell them good job. It was funny my mom who was with me thought he was in the show, I had to tell her a hundred times that he wasn't. He was pretty funny.

Eek! That was not me!! I'm a bodybuilder, but I don't wear shirts unbuttoned like that! I might wear a nice t-shirt to show off, but I like to think it's tasteful.

I hate those people. There was one who always came to the theatre, where I work. Except he's in his 60's. I always wanted to ask him why he wears an open shirt...
Thank goodness for St. Krysta.
It could be a pic of not only coke, but heroin (though heroin is mostly brownish), meth, or an assortment of crushed pills.

They really do need more understudides...I have a friend who is *very* close to the show who said that if 3 guys or girls were out, the one who was least sick *has* to come in. Luckily, that hasn't happened yet....
I asked him about the big creepy guy and he definitely knew who I was talking about! He says that he is indeed very weird and is there a lot. And that this guys sometimes wears short-shorts (!?!?!).
Yikes.. help please..
I have gone to a broadway show for the last 5 years for my son's birthday. This year its Spring Awakening. He is 20 and a junior in college. Do you think I will be embarassed by anything and will he think it's too high schoolish?
I don't think things will be too awkward between you guys. And I don't think the show is "too high schoolish" at all.
Phew... thank you. He asked to see something new and I thought this was the most "musical" as we've seen and he has liked Rent, Jersey Boys, Movin out, Wicked, etc.
I think he'll like the show just fine. :)
I don't find this show "high-schoolish" whatsoever.

This is a young cast and many don't know or haven't been taught HOW to use or take care of their voices. They were "stars" im HS. made it throught some MT or BFA program and still don't see "the voice" as their instrument. You would be amazed at how many never had proper voice lessons from a GOOD teacher outside of their schools, much less have a terrifc EBT MD who specializes in singers available to them. It needs proper tending and care just as a good violin does (my D weras a scarf aroudn her neck from October through April and is never seen withut a water bottle tucked in somewhere!). Once a bug gets started in the tight quarters backstage in a theatre withe the dust of heaven knows what lurking around it just has to run it's course. It certainly does not sound like they're taking time off to hit the slopes somewhere!

So, lets play pretend--
1 girl is having an appendectomy
1 girl is on vacation in another part of the country
Another girls mother and father got in a terrible car accident and just died.
Is that likely? No. But stranger things have happened...
So, who exactly are you going to have go on?

Exactly.
Or...
1 boy is abducted by aliens
1 boy is repeatedly stabbed by a crazed fangirl
1 boy spontaneously combusts
So, who will they have go on?
Chuck Norris
Spinal Tap
Ann Landers. That's who.

oh no that's awful...it's probably that darn norovirus or whatever. that thing is soooo contagious it's not funny. it's been passed around my dorm building like wildfire and everytime someone in my family gets it, everyone else does within hours or at the most a day--that's just it's nature so that may be going around the cast unfortunately, probably from one of the cast members in high school.
Rosie O'Donnell will go on.
I bet she knows the show well enough by now.
