splendoris - thanks. This summer I'm taking classes at the new york circus arts academy... and have been doing various circusy things since I was 8... over the summer/at camps mostly, though now that I'm too old for camp I do it in the city and such and such... I love it, but am sad it will be inhibiting my title of showness tomorrow night...
so I'll be there [in spirit] too

I'll be there!!
I'll be the crazy blond with the [tos] patch on my shirt
A heads-up to those who don't have tickets for tonight yet:
They just released some Orchestra seats online.
I am [soo] there...also in the balcony!! I've been a little breathless all day and actually teared up when I watched that In the Heights video.
How was the show guys?! Those of us there in spirit need to live vicariously through you all
I could not be there tonight, but I want to hear all the waxy scoop too!
I'm just grooving on the Isherwood rave in the Grey Lady, baby!
woooooooo hoooooooooooo
It really was a magical night. Lots of fancy people, all dressed up, but also a bunch of superfans up in the balcony :) I'm not quite coherent enough for a full review, but the atmosphere was much like the first preview, including a Standing O after "Nine People's Favorite Thing."
The one thing that was super cute was that after curtain call Michael came up on stage and Hunter and Jeff each said a couple of words and got kind of choked up and it was just a beautiful moment.
[OMG] Not a standing O, so much more like a standing [OOO]!! I brought a friend who is not a theater person, per se, and she was crying with tears of joy, understanding, and sadness about the vampires. I did wait at the door and, lordy, these kids cleaned up well for their big night. Susan looked like a goddess in her purple and gold. I. will. never. forget. it. And Hunter kissed me--I'm selling my cheek on ebay tomorrow.
Alright, I said I'd take this over here. In celebration of opening night, around the time the cast is probably a) fantastically drunk, or b) passed out in their apartments, let's compile a list of drag queen names. Here's some of Susan's (from the blog) to start:
Tiki Hut
Carol Svoracure
Coco Van
Cass Cade with Sheeting Action (her back-up dancers)
Ginger Lee
Parma Jean Cheese
Spencer Gifts
Rusty Trombone
May I just say, Carol Svoracure slays me.
Opening Night was amazing!
So glad to see Isherwood's rave!
Oh, and who, you ask, was there tonight?
"Hot Box of Crazy" herself!
Betty Buckley!
Tulita:

Ah yes... I was mess inside and out last night... anyone else? lol
