The 'Du Crew/fANADu's (XANADU Fans Unite!) — Page 13

We were on stage yesterday afternoon too and basically could not agree more with everythingtaboo and obsessedjb.

We took a first timer with us and she absolutley loved everything about the show. It was our first time with Curtis and our second with Patti, and their chemistry was dynamic. It was nice that they were able to play opposite each other in these roles.

everythingtaboo-the nickle bag line killed us. We were like "Wait..." then realized what it was replacing. And then laughed even harder.

Another thing that happened was before "Magic" it looked like there were some bobby pins on the stage and Patti picked them up and chucked them at Kenita, who procuded to look stunned, and then crack up. Thus causing us to crack up too.

It's always a great show to come back to again and again. Just a great time. And it was nice to see the House so full too!

i was wondering what patti was picking up (since she was still singing when she bent down on her skates, from my stage seat she was in the corner of my eye, i thought she was falling for a second!) and she flung it so fast ryan and kenita were like, what just happened?! it was too funny.

i'm going back today, jezi, I'll see you there!

I was thinking about starting a 'At Xanadu Tonight' thread, since fun things seem to happen there every night..but in the meantime, I'll just post here.

I decided to see Xanadu tonight (2nd time). It was a very last minute decision. Curtain was at 7, and I got to the box office at 6:48. I got a great seat using a discount code. It was close. When I was stood up, I was practically on stage..but not too close.

Tonight, there were a group of teenage girls on stage. This one girl was wearing a tiara. I think it was her birthday. Anyway, Jackie Hoffman goes, "Why are you wearing a tiara? What are you, royalty?" I could not stop laughing.

I had such a fun time. Everyone was fantastic. I love Xanadu!

I am thinking of seeing Xanadu when I go to New York in October. The trouble is that it may be hard to convince the people I'm going with to see it. My question is: Who from the current cast will still be there in October/who will have left, etc. Also - when do you think tickets will go up for October? (only till September is up now)

Is there anything I should know about on-stage seating too? Like is there participation or something. I just need to ensure details to pass on and try and convince the others.

Thanks in advance!

I just saw this show two night ago. ( I just returned home) It was fantastic! I loved it soo so so so much.

The cast members that are signed on til January '09 are Kerry, Cheyenne, Mary, Jackie, and Tony. :)

And the "dancing" is just basically standing up in your onstage seat and waving your glowstick and cast will make faces and smile and wave at you haha. Pretty soon the other audiences members in the house will be on their feet and joining you, its a lot of fun! You won't regret it!

Caught XANADU again on Wednesday. Packed house (not quite sold out but very close!) and great response.

What I loved the most that night was seeing a group of older women sitting on stage having a BALL! This show crosses so many demographics. Love that!

Curtis as Sonny is love. He's so adorable.

It doesn't matter how good or bad a dancer you are. You're basically standing up, swinging your glowstick and if the mood hits you, shaking your butt a little....no pressure whatsover.

Thanks for the comments! I am excited to see the show I am just nervous about the view from on-stage seats.

Took a 1st timer this weekend and Jackie's adlib Saturday night was priceless.

She walked over to a guy and said (paraphrasing) "I've had my eye on you all night and thought you were so cute until about 10 minutes ago when I looked over and you were holding his hand"

...Beane :)

See, I got so excited that I mispelled both Beane and Whoopi. And I am beside myself with excitement, so don't look at anything I write for the next month or so with a magnifying glass!!!!
