This made my day! This rocks!
1.
If this is true, that's hilarious!
2.
I wonder who the cast members are!
I'm going to email them to find out.
3.
During "For Good" no less! Geez!
4 EDIT
If you don't find the humor in this,
save your breath and don't comment.
*good times*

Posted: 9/22/05 at 12:57amI might find this funny if it were a high school production. On an Equity tour, however, I can't quite wrap my head around it.

Great way to kill the amusement of it, DGrant.
I think it's darling... considering it was Eden's last show and how closely the cast bonded during the SF run... and laughter is necessary to keep from going insane with such a repetetive career.
So I give it a BIG BIG HA HA HA HA!

I just said I couldn't wrap my head around it, that's all.
Yuck it up!

I agree. ::fun sucked out of the post:: I think it's hysterical to see that these people we consider "big shots" are just as crazy and fun as we are. And no matter how you look at it, a good mooning is ALWAYS funny.

They were in the wings. The audience didn't see anything.
It's funny.

Posted: 9/22/05 at 1:23amYes, but these are PROFESSIONAL actors....Its a freaking profession....I know plenty of people who have gotten in A LOT of trouble with stage managers and producers for doing crap like this...even much less significant things, even as simple as telling jokes imperceptibly on stage....i agree with DGRANT...it isnt high school theatre.....i wouldnt be surprised if those actors were written up.

They've gotten in trouble for doing things like this backstage where the audience can't see them? I don't get why. If the actors onstage are the only ones who can see them and they're not distracted, I don't see why it's a problem.

Posted: 9/22/05 at 1:28amEden may not have been distracted this time, but the intention was obviously to catch her off guard. That's just not a very professional thing to do to your fellow performers.

1 more vote for helarious.
Idina: Somehow I got myself to the stage, came out at the end of the show, and I had some kind of closure.
Some guy: You looked great!
Idina: Thanks...I WAS SO HIGH! 8/21/05

Posted: 9/22/05 at 1:35amMost people 'at work' haven't had other people pay upwards of 100 dollars each to watch them do it.

One more vote here for conduct unbecoming of professionals. I can ALMOST understand the "closing night on Broadway after 8 years....so lets screw around with lines" behavior, but this?
...and I was just talking about how fine SF theater is, too.

Well, if you curse in Trump's office - I bet you're gone...
...even if the clients don't hear you.
It's a matter of worth ethics.
If I were the stage manager, I would definitely have a word or two with them...

Posted: 9/22/05 at 2:37amI love eden. that's all i have to say.

Wow. I'm just glad I don't know half of you in person. Because a sense of humor is something I demand for my friends. And y'all clearly lack it.
Do you derive joy from sucking the joy out of everything else?
Lighten up! All of you!
Because this is, may I remind you, an online forum!!!! Easy to make yourself sound big and self-righteous behind words.
Me? I think it's fun. If you new any of the cast members like I do, you'd know they're fun, loving people who enjoy a good laugh here and there.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
HA

Posted: 9/22/05 at 3:25amThat's awful and unprofessional. I shouldn't have to have met these people at the stage door numerous times to justify middle-school antics.

where'd you get that pic from the paper from
does anyone even know if this is actually true?
"...But Kungurtseva reels off multiple fouettes and the tape is stopped so she can take a bow. The Jester, an abomination introduced to Swan Lake in Soviet times, extorts applause from the audience. The cuts don't help the storytelling, the production is bare bones and they go for the '50s-style happy ending.
The audience cheers like mad at the end. It's the Russian ballet, after all..."

He probably just scanned it.
I get the Chron and can vouch that it was actually printed.

HAHAHAHHAHAHA
Oh my god that's so funny! HAHAHAHAH
My mother always said kill them with kindness.
My father always said to keep them laughing.
I go through life finding humor in everything...
SO!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
At this point, I don't think it matters who or what I'm laughing at.
Just plain HA!
#22re: Wicked Mooning!
Posted: 9/22/05 at 4:06amSo I really don't get how everyone laughs at Shoshana falling off the stage and that's OK but laughing at this isn't.
#23re: Wicked Mooning!
Posted: 9/22/05 at 4:09amWell, one incident was, let's just say, a little more pre-planned than the other. You can't really compare the two. One was an accident and the other certainly was not.
