Hey all,
I'm getting excited for Broadway Bares this weekend, and so I shared some of my favorite videos from the past few years on my blog, gotta love naked Broadway folk.
What are some of your favorite numbers from years past?

For me - my favorite year was "Comic Strip." I have attended 5 years of Broadway Bares and saw an additional year on DVD. Think "Comic Strip" was the most well planned and written of those I have seen. The rest seemed to slowly go down hill and decline getting worse and worse each year. Just my personal opinion though. So unfortunately I have sworn off going anymore. I just don't enjoy the line, crowds, etc. It was fun in the beginning but not anymore. My thought is that as Jerry Mitchell started to delegate the show to others the show lost his edge. It does retain the initial spark but I preferred Jerry's direction and hands on feel of the show.
If you have never gone...I highly encourage you to attend.

hijacking the thread, sorry!
Once a month, your user photo just brought a (um, somewhat creepy) memory to mind. I used to go to the BCEFA flea market with my parents. Bernadette was doing the photo thing, and was posing with everyone like she is in your photo--giving them a nice hug. I was about 12 and had a big old lesbian crush on Bernadette, and, well, wanted a hug. I asked my parent's for the money so I could take a photo with her (of course they didn't know I really just wanted the hug!); they said yes.
As soon as it was my turn in line...Tom Wopat shows up. Crowd goes wild. I did not go wild. He jumps in the photos. No more hugging pose.
Very sad young lesbian that day.
Good God, that's creepy, please keep in mind I was young!!

Fraulein - I think that's pretty adorable, myself
As to the question at hand, the Batman & Robin presentation by Chris Sieber and his husband pretty much covered all of my bases.

Thanks, Q. I actually just found the photo last night, after I posted this. Wopat has a big smile on his face, Bernadette is Bernadette, and I'm in the middle smiling, but you can see the sadness in my young eyes
