The 'Du Crew/fANADu's (XANADU Fans Unite!) — Page 14

<< 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!!!! >>

So, does that mean that you won't be correcting anyone else, Ed? Just wondering. After all, everyone rushes and makes mistakes on the boards from time to time.

As far as Kerry--- she was out July 5th and 6th, and she might miss Sundays July and August.

Btw, does anyone know when Mary is due back? - I believe she was going to be out the end of July. (TIA !!)

On another note--- Think Whoopi is going to be amazing !!!

<< As long as Whoopi makes her own dent in the show and doesn't fall into Jackie's, I see a hilarious Calliope in her future! I can only imagine how well Mary and Whoopi will play off of each other!
>>

Totally agree !!

<< Oh, testing, I'm so ashamed of myself. I just wanted to make sure that no one thought I was meaning any disrespect. >>

We know you already, Ed-- not like you to disrespect :))

Ok, so got tix for 8/5 and 8/8 (so far !!!)

So I'm guessing they're thinking that Xanadu won't last until 2010?

Nice of them to tell us...

Don't jump to any conclusions, Robbie. It allows for Xanadu to stay there through all of 2009. Assuming the show still has some box office power by the end of 2009, I would guess that someone would want to move it. Of course, as far as I'm concerned, it could run until the year 3000 and I'd be happy (if not alive). Xanadu has come close to shuttering before, but keeps on going, thank God.

Whoopi

Jim - Whoops... excuse my Whoopi typo

Kate - We're thinking August 9th matinee. And I think we may be able to find a tiara with a faucet on it... "Only in NY kids, only in NY."

Almost any day works for me but papa Ed doesn't come in to the city on weekdays but we'll 'taaalk about it.'

I laughed when I thought 'Whoopi's going from THE VIEW to THE DU.'
I can't wait!

---

Well, since the 9th is sold out... I'll be there on the 6th!

I agree, Kate. Where's the enthusiasm for what is still the most entertaining show on Broadway? I'm so excited about the 9th -- HUZZAH!!!!!!

---

See you there on the thirteenth, Jeffrey! I'm sure it's going to be a blast, as always.

Ok so I do think today's show completely won! Of course Curtis and Patti are absolutely adorable as Sonny and Kira! I'm so happy I got to see them a couple of times together.

Also it was Ryan's last show apparently? I had no idea! That's sad

The real show stopper of today was of course Jackie, who for her adlib she said to 2 men sitting on stage "are you enjoying my performance today?" and then suddenly broke into "And I'm Telling You I'm Not Going" like did like a whole verse of it. Then went back to her spot and everyone was still laughing about it, so then she went on and did the entire end of the song! It was AMAZING! Everyone in the entire place completely lost it... I couldn't stop laughing forever after.
Patti tried so hard not to break but she ended up hysterical too... and Curtis did a little spin around to kind of get back into the scene. It was just the funniest thing.

Then after curtain call Jackie literally was trying crawl back on stage yelling "I'm not going... NO!!" Andre was pulling her away.. soo freakin' funny. Another great day at the 'Du!


Oh I also heard that Andre is going on as Melpomene on Tuesday and Wednesday-- just case anyone wanted to know. That will be so much fun, I'm sure!
