The Offical Passing Strange Love Thread (Scaryotypes Unite) — Page 59

you are sooooo welcome, joe. when you find some time and have digested the weekend, please write a "dissertation" here, (if 'ya feel like it, that is!)

Hi VERY! I am on "hold" for Unemployment Insurance, and have been aggravated for the last 1 1/2 hours trying to complete this. Their on-line AND phone system sucks big time. I am wasting the entire afternoon, so I'll just post while I listen to that nauseating voice mail crapola. Just when it was starting to feel real (ha!).
My hangover finally left after 2 days.

Yes, 1 1/2 Martinis, 2 days (recuperating)!
I am NOT a regular drinker. My whole family is the same way!
From now on, an occasional Lite Beer, or Chivas and water/rocks.
That's it.
I finally finished that stupid UI! Yay!
Now, on to chores! Yipee, I get to clean the house with nobody's help around here.

I'm still thinking about Sunday's performance. It's great to see all the pictures and avatars from that performance -- thank you everyone for sharing them!

These are some of the parts of Sunday's performance that I'll remember the most:
Eisa Davis being brought onstage for Keys
the intensity that Rebecca Jones brought to "Right when it was starting to feel real" in "Come Down Now"
Daniel Breaker in the funeral scene -- one blink and the tears were just streaming from his eyes
Colman Domingo bringing the videocamera onstage during the curtain call (and everything else about the curtain call -- even more insane than "Keys" was during the show IMO)
Stew's "Gibbs, that's how the ****ing song goes" in "Work the Wound"
How about for you guys?

Mikem, all you said and more.
1. Kate and Lucy, and Gregj63 in the front row!
2. Colman, directly doing his scene to them!
3. The girls hugging all the actors at the stage door! I cried.
4. Almost getting knocked to the ground from Stew running up
behind me during KEYS.
5. Spike's crew almost forgeting to do their camerwork because
they were so caught up in the show!
6. Spike yelling "GET UP GET UP, on Stew's upbeat!
7. Mr. Schoenfeld, and ALL the producers, rocking out (in the
back!)
8. Frogs_ you were holding Annie's champagne??
8. All the SHY people gettin' up to boogie!
9. Marian Seldes , in the house AGAIN!!! (Ck out her IBDB -
probably the most accomplished actor in show biz)

I was certainly that person Tiny.
I'm glad I've found you guys.
Now I'm going to go search through the other boards...this is so exciting:-P

Anyone else feel melancholy today, knowing there was no show tonight?

I walked by the theater Monday night around 9:30, since I had gone to see [title of show] on the next block. Camera trucks were outside, marquee still lit, catering set up, and I knew the cast was still inside filming. But today they must have started dissembling the light wall, getting ready for the next show to come in a few weeks from now.

I'll stop here, because the other stuff I've tried to write seems self-indulgent and silly, but I will miss this show, the fans, and the group of people who put this work of art together. Never felt that about a show before.

Steve, That is so wonderfully written. You brought the whole show back to life for me. joe

Mike - he was standing next to the last row, left orch, leaning against the column, shouting GET UP, GET UP (to the universe at large!?), in counterpoint to Stew during the CRAZY part of Keys/It's All Right...then everyone else (in the aud) starting doing their own musical riffs!
We that were there will NEVER forget that day!!
It hasn't left my system yet, I'm working on my own piano (PS) thing right now.....

Ok Frogs, I finally got to read your thoughts on Sunday's show and I just wanted to say thank you for sharing your experience. It's so great to hear about the many ways this show has touched people and made an impact on their lives... I know it's been a gift to me and connected with me in so many ways.

Right now I have the recording on in the car (and I must say it is a great behind the wheel rock out score). There are so many lyrics, words, and scenes that remind me of the beauty of the piece and the genius that is Stew, Heidi, Annie Dorsen and the rest of the cast and crew!

"I let my pain **** my ego and I call the bastard art!"--Passing Strange

Lavieboheme, that is one of my favorite lines in the show. . . all of the promise and potential of youth crystallized in just a few words.
