Somehow...it makes people excited to see stage door photos and make them see the show too- that's why I will stage door and post the photos...If that would help the show...I'd gladly do it!
plus I really really wanna see the show again!

Okay, WOW. I wish you all could have been there tonight. Amsterdam went on forever, until finally Stew just stuck the mic down his pants, LOL.
And then.... Stew sang the first two verses of "Love Like That" a cappella.
That's amazing that he can experiment with new things like that every performance, and have it be totally awesome.
It was really great. And the house was full (including the balcony) and rockin'.
WALTSPI< Wow! Sorry I missed you. I'm out all this week due to illness, but will be back next wk.
Ditto for the T-Shirts..of course, they HAVE to be RED, (Stew's Color). Who's making them? Size XXL for me.
Consensus on the quote for the back? "Yeah, and it's all Riiiiiiight".
Anyone?
Get together May 17 or 18th, maybe again in June IF we get LUCKY!
(Anyone going to No No Nanette next Sat Mat?)

if a bunch of people are coming on May 18th, I will definitely come as well.
XXL for me as well.
I like that quote for the back, tiny. I'd prefer a Friday night, so that drinking could be involved, but if Sunday works better for everyone, so be it.
I'm lovin the broadwayworld show preview!!! Rebecca is FIERCE.
BWW show preview of PASSING STRANGE- The BEST SHOW this season! yay!

I sent my sister and her husband, who had never been to Broadway - they wanted to see Phantom and something else that I recommended :)
She called to say Phantom was okay but Passing Strange was one of the most incredible things they both had seen - she said she couldn't believe they could come up with "something so beautiful" and couldn't stop thanking me, yay!
Awesome, blaxx. Just awesome.
I haven't really recommended PS to people because it seems like such a hit or miss, but after all the crap that's coming out, PS just gets better and better (after already being fantastic). Sorry I doubted you PASSING STRANGE!
Tiny, I hope that you are feeling better? I'll go along with the red t-shirit, minus the PS logo. Who is going to be in charge of this. I won't be back in the city until Memorial Day We. But I will gladly do anything from this end, from Boston. joe
OK, someone has to be crazy enough here to do this:
The explosive new musical Passing Strange has been rocking Broadway audiences every night, and now, beginning, Wednesday, May 7th, Spotlight Live and Passing Strange will join forces to Rock Broadway. Each week, fans will have a chance to compete for a VIP visit to Passing Strange. Contestants will try their best to electrify Spotlight Live with a performance from the extensive rock catalogue. Each week two winners will be chosen by the audience to move on to the final competition on Wednesday, May 28 where the winner will be chosen by members of the Passing Strange cast. Do you have what it takes to Rock Broadway? Come to Spotlight Live, rock the mic, and find out!
Wednesday, May 7th at 8PM in the Spotlight Live Penthouse
Thursday, May 15th at 8PM on the Main Stage
Wednesday, May 21st 8PM in the Spotlight Live Penthouse
Finale: Wednesday, May 28th 8PM in the Spotlight Live Penthouse
Did they mention what a VIP visit is like, because it seems a lot of effort just to get it. There's also a prerequisite..you have to be a musician.
Walt, That sounds like fun. I wish I lived a little closer. I would gladly do it, hehe.
I have a fantasy about doing "Bohemian Rhapsody" by Queen at karaoke, complete with audience participation. I don't think I have the range to actually pull it off though.
Upcoming PS performance on The View!
Performances from the casts of Passing Strange and In the Heights will also be presented, respectively, May 12 and May 29.

VERC: Thanks for the news...(The View). Hope Stew sings Amsterdam.
Curious, why "Tony Danza, Mario Cantone, Sarah Jessica Parker"? mixed in with the current crop of Broadway performers? Don't they know the general public gets mixed up, when given the chance??
Customer:"Hello, Telecharge, I'd like 4 tix to Tony Danza
Telecharge: What?? What?? What show?
Customer:Ya know, THE VIEW!
Telecharge: No, that's not a Bway show.
Customer:Yes, it is...I saw it on TV"
(..only a joke, not meant to insult the myriad of brilliant ticket buyers!?)

Fellow Scaryotyes, this is just a new low.
The CBS censorship? Yeah. Although one one hand, I can imagine a few parents being concerned when their little 5 year old asks why those three guys were having sex with the ... etc.
