My very first time at Radio City Music Hall.  When I arrived, there was a humongous crowd in front, near 50th St.  Everyone attending the 4:30 p.m. show had to go all around to 51st Street and get in a very, very long line.  The show  itself was o.k.  I liked the segments with the Rockettes...there was quite a bit of content geared towards the little rugrats.  I'll admit I took some pictures before the show began.  It irritated me to no end that some *itches constantly took pictures and video on their GoPro camera.  No class at all.  As soon as the show ended, I rushed toward the exit...as I didn't want to get stuck in a huge crowd on my way out.

I tried to post multiple pics in one ...but no success.  I have a few pics that I'm hoping to have signed .  I am afraid I'm channeling a little bit like Eve Harrington ...waiting outside the Ambassador.  I have one more chance later tonight.

LOL, took the same picture before the show at Radio City we saw on 12/21. Our seats were in the mezzanine (right side) 5th row.

Telly Leung is 35! I thought he was much younger

Love seeing pictures of someone truly enjoying himself in New York theater. 

Yeah Telly was in Rent years and years ago so it makes sense he's in his mid-30's now. 

The first time I saw the Christmas Spectacular, I got an email asking for feedback and I went on a long diatribe about the picture-taking and filming going on during the show, and how it was more or less encouraged by the ushers. But I got no response. It's one thing that keeps me away from the Christmas Spectacular---it's a show that brings out the absolute worst in family theater behavior.

 The cartwheel in the rag sometimes doesn't happen. Depends on if they can do it or if there's an injury.

there are about 3 non cartwheel rag endings. 

Patti LuPone FANatic said: "

with the incredible Terra C (Velma Kelly).  I had a blast at "Chicago".  Terra C and Bianca Marroquin were fantastic!   Had a bit of a conversation with Jason Patrick Sands prior to the show.  He was sporting a short blonde beard.  While performing "Hot Honey Rag", Terra and Bianca did not do the cartwheel.  I was surprised.  When I spoke with Terra C, she volunteered that she had some sort of leg injury that prevented her doing the cartwheel.  This woman is incredible.  Even with her injury, she did all of that dancing...including a split.

with Bianca Marroquin (Roxie Hart)

with Jason Danieley (Billy Flynn)

with Jason Patrick Sands (Billy Flynn u/s, Amos Hart u/s)

with the lovely Mara Davi (Dames At Sea).  She was ah-mazing!  Mara liked the newspaper/photo article of the pre-Broadway tryout of ACL in SF in 2006.  

with Lesli Margherita (Dames At Sea).  So funny and talented in the show!

This was as close as I got to "The King and I".

Yes  indeed, Jason Danieley does have a very long note in "the" gun.  I mentioned that to him on Facebook.  He did respond and said that it was 30 seconds long.  Wow!
