Since it looks that I am coming to NYC in October and I'd love to see gorgeous Josh up close, has there been any news of a possible extension of his contract till then ? Thank you in advance !

I shook his hand on Sunday following the 1pm matinee. A beautiful man.

According to his fansite (www.joshstricklandonline.com) he resigned until December.

I would rather have shaken something else, but there were kids around.

Well, given that I was fortunate enough to see my other two big Bway crushes live (Adam P. & Matt M.)I am really happy that I'll be able to catch my latest one as well !!!

And naughty pianoman, kids or not, I think he wouldn't object LOL

I felt the same way being a fellow AP & JS mega fan!

I got to see Tarzan last month and he was amazing in it. The show has its flaws, but the cast was so good it made the whole thing ok!!! I hope you enjoy!

Be careful of when you go in October. Josh's birthday is then and he might be taking some time off around it, he did this past year.

Just check his fan site www.joshstricklandonline.com! If anything should happen where he might be out on vacation or for doing something else it will be posted there.
Otherwise he will still be at Tarzan til mid December! Updated On: 3/27/07 at 10:21 PM

I checked his fansite and its great !!! But it doesn't say exactly when is his Birthday ! Since I want to book my tickets early, so that i can have a chance at sitting up close, does anyone know his Birthday date, so I can avoid booking tix around that week ??

I hope he does BROADWAY BARES again.
he was great last year.

I agree, however considering that he is practically naked throughout Tarzan, he should be required to show the full monty. There should be some percentage of skin you show at Broadway Bares that directly relates to the percentage of skin you show in your regular performance.

Posted: 3/28/07 at 12:22pm

As of now there is no set date of his last show in December but there is plenty of time to find out! He had mentioned that he might do Broadway Bares again if he was asked this year.

My sweet Mistress, I am definetely gonna do lots of things with one of my fav New Yorkers when I'm there ! However, rush relies on luck and I don't wanna leave anything to chance as far as seing Josh up close is concerned

Well, if you do rush Tarzan, there's a pretty good chance that you'll get front row seats, in which case you will not only see Josh up close, but will walk away wearing some of his body-paint umbued sweat which flies so profusely. If you're front row house right, you may even manage some spittle at the end of Act I. That's about as close as you can get aside from shaking his hand at the stage door, which he's always willing to do.

I'm not complaining, mind you, it's a fun and unique perspective to watch this show from, the sound design is good, and there are no problems hearing over the orchestra. If I can get out of work in time, I'm going to try to see Rob Evans second performance (his debut is running in 40 minutes at the matinee).

Yes, but I suppose that Tarzan's rush is packed, so there are not many chances to win ! But just to be sure, isn't rush the same as lottery ? I tried many times the Avenue Q lottery last time I was there, but luck wasn't on my side, so I ended up missing it ! No way I am taking that risk with Tarzan !!

Well rush is all about getting on line first. Lotto everyone can enter but only a few will win. By doing rush, as long as you are the first *whatever number* in line, you're golden, you just may be waiting 2 - 3 hours.

Posted: 3/28/07 at 8:55pm

Hmmmm, that's interesting, I don't mind waiting ! And in rush you are guaranteed good seats ? And the price is less ? Sorry for my ignorance, it's just that I always booked my tix months in advance and always paid full price !!

[MotorTink]

Posted: 3/28/07 at 8:57pm

It's ok, I'm still new at all of this too. It has been front row and between $25-$30 (don't know actual price).

But isn't rush only for students ?
MotorTink sorry for all the questions, you've been so helpful and wonderful !

Hmm, that I am unsure of (if it is student or general). Hopefully someone else reading this thread knows that answer.

Never be sorry about questions. Every person has asked the same questions(maybe not Tarzan, but you get my drift) when they started out too. I checked playbill.com but they still have it listed as lotto, and I am 99% sure they do only rush.
