Funny Girl - I can pretty much be there any time, unless there's some emergency. If you need someone to stage door with just let me know! Chances are, I can make it!

Is this going to be the first time that you're seeing Sweeney?

Yes, Sept. 9th will be my first time to see this production (I've actually seen Sweeney, but not on Broadway - or with Patti and Michael).

I'm going with my mom on the 9th.....and I'd like to go see it again on the 10th, but I was planning on going alone. It would be so much more fun with someone who was as into it as I was. My mom is just kind of along for the ride.

You game?? Front row, maybe??

PM me.

I have a Patti question for you all. I remember reading somewhere that she had to undergo sugery on her vocal chords? Does anyone know if it's true; and, if it is, when did she have it done and what was wrong?

Any attempt to enlighten me, would be greatly appreciated.

I have a great interview for you to read, and she talks about the surgery she had on her vocal cords... Go here - http://www.lct.org/calendar/platform_detail.cfm?id_event=23918230 It's from a few years ago, but it's fabulous. Enjoy!

BTW, Kel, it's Heather from the Myspace group. :) Hi!

WHEW! Thanks for letting me know, I didn't want to piss Patti off, you know? Because she was just fantastic Tuesday night. She was clearly having fun that night, and I must say, it was pretty damn cool to have her make eye contact with me the whole night.

Heather, thank you so much for the info! I feel far better educated in the details of vocal injuries just from reading her experience. Very thorough!

how bummed was i when i got to the theatre today and saw the signs all over the doors that she was OUT?!

SO bummed. especially because i had gotten the tickets for a friend for his birthday and the main reason he wanted to see it was just to hear her live. but i guess she was out yesterday, too. her understudy just did NOT do mrs. lovett justice.

That sucks. I wonder if she's sick or just needs a break. I can't imagine doing Sweeney AND rehearsing for Gypsy! I'm crossing my fingers that she's in on the 22nd!

Speaking of Driving Miss Daisy, the last time I saw the movie, I was probably 13 so I've forgotten a lot over the years. How big a role does she have? I know it's not huge by any means, but I mean does she pop up once or periodically? I have it, but haven't had time to revisit it.

i overheard someone saying that she's sick, and was also out yesterday.

Evita, Anything Goes, Master Class, SITPWG-Ravinia, Sweeney = I adore her!

[SeptemberKel]

Posted: 7/18/06 at 9:49pm

See, you learn something new every day. I had no idea she did SITPWDG at Ravinia! I would have loved to see that!

[Glebb]

Posted: 7/18/06 at 9:56pm

Well she did not play DOT but she was in it and I got to go backstage and meet her. She was real nice.
Love your avatar. I used to stay up until 3am to watch the long version EVITA commercial.

it's almost Saturday, guysssss! i'm nervous! as usual, i have nothing together, including what to wear! anyone know where to pick up some roses for Patti?? i don't want to fight with them on the plane(s), and eventhough, i'm seeing both shows that day...i'll only get to see her after the pm show, of course. so yeah, i'll just have to pay big bucks and buy some NY roses. ha. <333333 Patti!!!

[wonderwaiter]

Posted: 7/19/06 at 9:51pm

chrrymn, stake out the theater beforehand. I don't remember where I read it, but it seems like I remember reading a post in the past couple of days where someone bought roses after the show and gave them to her at the stage door, so I'm assuming there's somewhere to procure them in the immediate vicinity of the Eugene O'Neill.

[chrrymn]

Posted: 7/19/06 at 10:30pm

I've staked out the other 5 times I've been there. surely there's a store in times square that sells them. i hope i find out in time!

[JungleRed2]

Posted: 7/20/06 at 12:07pm

Glebb, can I ask how you were able to go back stage and where you went to see her??? I'm going to see her at Ravinia in 'Gypsy' and would love to get the opportunity to meet her if possible!

[chrrymn]

I just wanted to see if any of you were attending the final show on Sept. 3 at 7:00 PM? I'm so sad Sweeney is closing, but I'm excited to see the final performance. I'll be in row C.

[Katecab99]

Posted: 8/1/06 at 9:19am

i'll be there in row E

[blueroses]

Posted: 8/1/06 at 9:20am

I'm thinking of going again, Kel. Not sure yet!

[SeptemberKel]

Posted: 8/1/06 at 10:06am

BlueRoses - If you decide to go, and we end up in the same row again, let me know and I'll say hello!
