Up and Hopefully Down With Will Swenson

Posted: 7/22/09 at 10:37amI was first row on the center aisle when Will gave me his pants ... is that the seat he always goes to, or does it change nightly?

Posted: 7/22/09 at 10:37amWow. Either that guy REALLY liked Will or he just had the money to spare. Did Will keep it? LOL

Posted: 7/22/09 at 3:13pmI was kind of wondering the same thing. Unless Will's passing it on to some worthy cause. Is there any official policy re: accepting substantial monetary gifts from audience members? I certainly wouldn't begrudge him (or anyone else in the cast) the money. Just wondering, not criticizing. Any thoughts out there about this?

Posted: 7/22/09 at 3:21pmI'm pretty sure I heard that any money Will gets goes to BCEFA. I know Avenue Q does that if they get any money in the hats.

I was in the spare change seat last night; I was at the stage door with a friend after and Steel told me that the money gets donated, but he didn't know where because Will's in charge. :)
I tried so hard to think of something clever, but couldn't come up with anything original. So $20 it was. :cp

I don't think this had been posted on this thread so thought I'd add it in.

Posted: 7/24/09 at 12:25pmAlso, he's been announced for a reading of The Big Time, whose cast also includes Cheyenne Jackson, Jackie Hoffman and Chris Sieber. Would love to be a fly on the wall for that one!

Posted: 7/24/09 at 12:33pmA ton of people showed up late last night, and Will kept teasing them. It was hilarious.

Will is sad that he was all the way on page 3. Gavin is trying to comfort him.

Yes, the money goes to BC/EFA. AND the seat does change, but not radically. As far as I know always the front row, house center to house right.
16 more days till another Hairtastic evening. While I will miss Gavin, I'm excited to see Jay!!!

Posted: 7/28/09 at 1:47pmIs Will out of the show for any performances during August and September? I know he's doing a reading for The Big Time (with Cheyenne, Chris Sieber, Jackie Hoffman, et al.) the first week in August -- is he planning to be out of the show during that period (or any other through September)?

Posted: 8/1/09 at 3:37pmBumping for Will love. 3rd page is too far away for my liking.

Posted: 8/1/09 at 3:54pmI love the video linked by jezi. "Brett Michaels wants to see a Broadway show, but due to his recent accident at the Tony's, he doesn't want to see a show with any falling light fixtures. What show should he see?" I laughed so hard!

I feel like the "your late" line happens at every show which makes me think that an usher or someone asks a person if they would like to be part of the show and makes them go in late. B/c everytime I've seen the show, it has happened and always around the same spot. Is it planned?

I don't think so. I've seen it when no one was late. But it is funny

Posted: 8/5/09 at 12:34amThat's probably the first time for late seating, since they can't bring people in during the opening numbers, and honestly, I can't remember the last time I was at a show where someone didn't walk in late. I don't think they need to ask people to do it. People arrive late all the time.

Ed -- Will already took vacation, and he was just sick and missed a couple of performances. Readings are usually on Monday nights when most shows are dark anyway.
Other than that I haven't heard anything PLANNED about Will being out.
