ha. What a lame way to reach 400 posts. I wish I'd actually contributed something of value to the thread.

How about, um... oh, you guys probably know this already, but I uploaded last year's ITH Easter Bonnet skit on YouTube (as well as a few other clips from the show). I'm not sure if I'm allowed to link, so just search for "Tradizzle".

Ah! I finally saw it on tuesday and was completely blown away. Like I said, reading the boards set my expectations very high, and the show was a hundred times better then I expected. I am still in awe of how amazing this was. The dancing was SO much fun, I could not keep still. Lin is just so adorable to watch, I could not keep my eyes off him and Krysta the entire time. Both are total sweethearts as well. Wow, I just can't wait to see this show win manymany tony's.

i would speculate depends on the weather and what's happening in town..I didn't think the Friday night lotto would have been as big as it was.

Yeah it depends on the week really I've been at lotto on Saturday mats that were really crowded, but I was at the lotto this past Saturday and it wasn't crowded at all maybe 50 people there max. Good Luck with it!

Have fun those of you going to Easter Bonnet today/tomorrow!! So jealous. One of these days I'm going to ditch work and go to the fun middle of the day events.

I just ordered Andrea Burns' A Deeper Shade of Red cd. Like, the actual cd itself, not d/l the album from iTunes, so that I'll have the cover art and such. It's been a while since I bought an actual cd, instead of an iTunes d/l...well, besides the Heights pre-order, of course.

It is amazing! I bought (well, from iTunes) it a while ago and I love it.

I had a feeling that was you, after seeing your avatar !!!

Sure our paths will cross again !! :))

Yay! Yeah, I decided that since I've pretty much played out the three songs avail on her mySpace that it was time to actually buy the cd itself... and plus, I'm kinda in love with the snippets I've heard of and want to hear all of "BTW Write Back," lol.

[dancingthrulife04]

Posted: 4/28/08 at 6:09pm

"BTW Write Back" is hysterical. My favorite song on the CD is probably "Chelsea Morning," though.

Guys there are no like columns in the theater right? I haven't been there since previews and I told my mom view from 31.50 seats was fine and she was like " as long as there are no columns"

I jumped to say ohhhnoo of course not. but really can't remember.

Next show on my list to see. Sounds like it's a good one.

There are no colums up in the rear mezz and the view is excellent.

bump for Easter Bonnet love. It was a great sketch. A parody of "One Day More". Robin de Jesus does a killer Eponine. They came in third, which was pretty impressive, considering how strong all the presentations were.

I can't make out all the lyrics of the song, but I'm very fond of this line (hope I got it right)

"Not a lot of drugs, not a lot of crime. Not a lot of writers [or write-ups] in the New York Times"

Word.

Hee- just had to see that line again. :)

Does anyone know if you can buy the BC/EFA pro-shot videos at any time other than Flea Market time? I don't see any of them (Bares, etc.) for sale on the BC/EFA website.

Chica- did they say how much Heights raised? (Or do they only announce the top 5 shows' amounts?) Wondering how much more than $96,000 they raised.

[BroadwayChica]

As far as I know, the Flea Market is the only place they sell the DVDs. They didn't say how much ITH raised.

Fyi, I just learned today that you can buy the BC/EFA dvds online*!

Not thru bcefa.org, but rather thru Broadway Beat:

www.broadwaybeat.com
click on 'order forms'
click on 'order BC/EFA videos'

Of course 2008 Easter Bonnet isn't listed yet, but as soon as it's ready it will be, and you can totally buy online before Flea Market time... I think the dvds are $10 more online (can't remember if I spent $20 or $25 to pick up Bares at last year's Flea Market).

eta: 'online' as in you have to print out the form online, and then mail in a check. :)
