this thread is SO [title of show] cuz it [you know what] ROCKS!!!

Last night was seriously fun at the Chatterbox,guys! One favorite thing that I learned during the interview was that, during the show, the script that they put into the manila envelope is actually the original version of the script that they submitted to the festival, and that Jeff thumbs through it each night and often sees pieces that have subsequently been cut/changed/updated. I LOVED that bit of trivia and the incredibly sweet expression that he had on his face when he told it. There were lots of nice moments like that, and it was amazing for me to sit at a table--and indeed in a room full of people--who [potentially cheesy yet heartfelt use of language coming up] cherish these people and this work as much as I do.

Susan's interview is just totally awesome. I can just hear her saying every word and she seems exactly like the warm, articulate, caring person who greets you at the stage door (as did Hunter and Jeff when they told their stories last night). At our table before the show, we were discussing reasons why [tos] resonates with so many people (particularly teens and twenty-somethings), and I think the fact that these guys all seem so genuine is definitely another one of those reasons.

And Mo Rocca Roccs.

The last vampire is the mother of all vampires and that is the vampire of despair. It'll wake you up at 4am to say things like: Who do you think you are kidding? You look like a fool! No matter how hard you try, you'll never be good enough! Why is it that if some dude walked up to me on the subway platform and said these things, I'd think he was a mentally ill as-h-le, but if the vampire inside my head says it,It's the voice of reason! DIE VAMPIRE, DIE--[SUSAN in tos]

PalJoey, we never said a word about the hot dog cart -- just a nod in her direction to let her know she'd been spotted. But that stuff always happens at the York. The first time we saw a show there, we spied Alan Menken two rows in front of us and Kurt Vonnegut Jr. on the other side of the aisle.

2L Pepsi, funny you should ask. The sparse mufti-like staging made it feel like the [tos] gang were doing a musical of The Devil Wears Prada starring Patti. Two chairs, a bench and a phone.

Sally Wilfert was wonderful as the evil gossip columnist's assistant. At one point mid-song, she lost her bookmark in the script so she, her dog (JD Webster) and the pianist (Mark Hartman) did a hysterical ad-lib while she madly flipped through the pages.

And now back to our [title of show].

Hey [tos]sers!

So I finally recovered from being ill and made a Happy Opening video for [title of show]...it's late now, but it all gets explained in the video!

Well done to everyone for helping them raise the ranks on the NY Times!

So who's given the peeps at [title of show] a present? Even though I'm far from the US but I made them all little [tos] dolls of themselves. Jeff, Hunter, Heidi and Susan all got full sized ones (as in larger ones) while I made Larry, Ben and Courtney smaller ones. They loved them! So what other things have people created/given?

Susan mentions the action figures in the Diva Talk article- so I'm glad I didn't make action figures like I planned on doing.

I made them each a round white fan on a wooden stick (along the lines of the Mermaid and Hairspray ones)that say [tos] [fan]. They seemed to really like them--Susan had me sign and date hers--and they have them in their dressing rooms!

I saw the show on Friday night...and I'm in love. I've followed it since it's Off-Broadway run and I loved it even more than I thought I would. Susan told me I look like I could be Kerry Butler's little sister...so she called me Lil Kerry. (That's how she spells little, not me) :)
You're that little girl with her wings unfurled, flying again. Back in your backyard dancing...I found a way back to then. - [title of show]
