Wedding Singer Review 8/20 (Review is now up!)

Got to the theatre around 10:30 & there was a group of 8 girls infront of me for student rush. So we got tix A 109-114 (there was 6 of us).

Before the show, which I found was REALLY rude, this girl went up to all the leads saying stuff about some cancer thing, if they could pay 5$ for the bracelet & wear it during the show. Basically, she didn't really give them a choice to say no. So everybody bought and Tina bought 4 (silly tina!). I just found it very rude.

The 8 girls that were next to me (which I know they post on here because I heard them say BroadwayWorld sometime), had to be the most rude and obnoxious people ever. I'm not one to complain but let me tell you. Throughout the entire show, they didn't stop SCREAMING and cheering excessivly loud. Girls, we weren't at an American Idol concert. We were at a Broadway show. It was rude and immature.

The show was great as usual. Stephen had a LOT of energy today it seemed. Today was one of his "better performances".

Tina was amazing! She got a haircut RIGHT before the show started and she look so pretty! Her chemistry with Stephen is better than Lauras.

I caught the grandmas towel! I just thought I'd throw that in. At the stage door, I had whoever was left sign it.

Finally, I got to see Amy again. The past 2 times I went, she was on vacation. I 100% prefer Amy than Cara (Sorry Cara fans!)

I bought the program. It's really cool...though I probably won't look at it again. There's a new white shirt that says "Love is what I do" & has a heart on it, then on the sleeve says The Wedding Singer. It's for girls.

Afterwards, Tina gave me another infamous tour. She was SO sweet and I gave her an early birthday present! Then we took pictures on the stage and Felicia Finley was there so I got to take a picture with onstage too!

AND I saw the "infamous fruit basket" backstage. I don't know why it has any value or anything but I heard people talking about it and stuff and it was exciting to see it!

Edit: And Eric as Tina Turner was SO funny! I couldn't stop laughing!!!!

So everybody bought and Tina bought 4 (silly tina!).

Haha. I guess she figured since it was for a good cause.

Tina did get her hair cut? She was debating whether or not to do it the other day.

I'm glad you liked the show! Those girls sound annoying. I had the same situation last week. A bunch of them screamed "WE LVOE YOU STEPHEN LYNCH!!" at curtain call and Stephen just kind of looked like "Oh sh*t.."

Anyway, I'm glad you had a good time! eric is hysterical as Tina Turner, isn't he? Did he say how long he's actually going to be on?

My mom actually asked. What happened was last time I went, I went with my friend and my mom was disappointed because she wanted to go and wasn't able to go the day we did go. And "selfish me" went without her. So the "guilty-ness" got to me and said ok all we could do is ask.

wow, Tina sounds so nice- I'd love to meet her!
but i'm glad you enjoyed the show, saw Amy (lucky!), got a program, and you got to go backstage with Tina AND Felicia...that basically sounds like something out of one of my dreams...
sorry about the annoying girls though, i hate when that stuff happens!
but anyway, yay WEDDING SINGER! wish i could see it again!

I'm debating rushing it one last time before the summer ends and I have to get back to....my life.

Yankeefan- Me too. how many times are you up to now?

---

Oh. I want to see the Fantasticks too. I don't know. I have to see both at some point. It will be my 7th time if I go to TWS again, but I kind of want to.

---

Another thing: My mom just plainly said to Tina "Is the show closing? ahh!" & Tina said "It's gonna be playing FOREVER! But no, we aren't. We're doing ok". Then I asked how Laura was doing and she said "Well we're all thinking about her and hoping she gets better soon. It's not the same without her."

well, at least she's optimistic about it
and dancingthrulife, 7 times? that is so awesome, i wish i was in your shoes!
and a guy as Tina Turner? that must be interesting...
:P

yeah, did the cast actually wear them?
and were they like bracelets that said like "cancer" or "livestrong" on them?
interesting...

hate to bring the news but YES they did. Stephen wore it in the opening scenes. Tina wore all 4 during Pop. Not sure if anybody else wore it.

Dancing- I didn't ask him though I heard today was his last day.

"hate to bring the news but YES they did. Stephen wore it in the opening scenes. Tina wore all 4 during Pop. Not sure if anybody else wore it.

I think I'm going to die...PULEASE.

and I agree with dancing- "I really hope for their sake that the girl was ACTUALLY doing that for charity, and not ripping them off."

---

And if the girl was ripping them off? She has gratification in outsmarting actors....too bad they're not that smart to begin with....uh-oh bad joke, though it does have some truth to it. During the heat wave, one of the Wedding Singer cast members was installing an air conditioner in his dressing room (poorly). A stage hand walked out and warned the people standing under it "Folks, I'd move. There's an ACTOR installing an air conditioner."

bwayondabrain - you don't accept PMs.
