I love the last photo from the SPLASH photos. They look like they are having tons of fun.

And [title of show] added me as a top friend on myspace, it made me happy.

I love that, in this photo from the Border's signing, directly behind Susan's thumbs-up can clearly be seen a copy of Konstantin Stanislavsky's "My Life in Art":

I was randomly on Aaron Lazar's Blog and this is what he had to say about [tos]

"THURSDAY, JULY 17, 2008
Title of Show Opening

Dreams do come true.

For everyone of you who's ever checked in to read this blog: Stop reading this right now, buy a ticket or 3 to see Title of Show at the Lyceum Theater on Broadway, and you'll know why I started this blog almost 3 years ago.

Michael Berresse, Hunter Bell, Jeff Bowen, Susan Blackwell, and Heidi Blickenstaff (Let's go Duke!)--you are an inspiration. Thanks for leaving a piece of your souls on that stage last night. I am in awe.

There's nothing else to say really. (BLACKOUT)"

I was excited reading that!

I was told these just came in this past week.

Oh yes! I got mine the 22nd and I got so many comments.

Mandy Gonzalez at In The Heights said "I love your shirt!" and we had a lovely conversation about how much we love them and that they're total sweethearts :)

Also, an usher at Phantom said he loved it too, but apparently they had just got them in recently because he didn't see them before.

The point is that I love how much theatre people love this show. Not that that's a surprise.

Any idea when the merch will be available online? I really want the 'tosser' shirt.

Actually-im wearing it in my avatar. Go figure. Updated On: 8/3/08 at 10:11 AM

Yeah, I got my DVD shirt last Sunday and had Susan sign it for me. She was like, "Wow! We..have these!? Awesome. This is the first one I've seen!"

Anyone have the scans of Jeff in the fashion spread in the new Out magazine? If you think he's hot onstage, wait till you see him as a fashion model.

Looks like I'll have to actually pick up a copy of that "homo magazine"!

(no Hunter, PJ??)

Gah, a fancy photo shoot for a homo magazine?!

And I second wanting to know when the merch will be available online.

Ok, so I have tickets to the show in August and I don't know much about it except for the fact that it's a musical about a musical. My mom and I bought tickets thinking it would be cute. Will we "get" the show? I've heard people who haven't followed [title of show] don't understand it. Convince me that I'll love it!

[dancingthrulife04]

Posted: 8/3/08 at 2:01pm

That is funny... when the show first started previews someone was telling Susan how they needed a "Die Vampire, Die!" shirt, and she was saying how she wanted one, too.

[fvalle24]

Posted: 8/3/08 at 2:51pm

About, OUT magazine. Has it been released? I have been on the website trying to see if it has...

[logan0215]

Posted: 8/3/08 at 2:54pm

The photoshoot was the day of the "ticketganza" I believe...

[PalJoey]

Posted: 8/3/08 at 3:26pm

No Hunter.

It's Jeff, John Hill, Tommy Berklund and Colman Domingo.

I got a subscription copy in the mail. Should eb a few more days until it hits newsstands and the web.

Neil Patrick Harris is on the cover, looking very butch.

A friend of mine gets OUT, so I'll steal his copy and scan & post the pic.

Sorry to hear that about Hunter, PJ - but that's my problem with gay mags like OUT. They'll always feature a buff stud like Jeff in a fashion shoot (and the boy does have one of the most perfectly worked-out natural torsos I've ever seen) but they'd never consider using a hot beef doll like Hunter.

The [tos] merch is handled by Marquee Merchandise. Though their website (www.marqueemerchandise.com) is a bit out of date, shoot them an Email and they'll be able to help you with your online [tos] purchases: magnets, shirts, hats and a very cool khaki backpack. The guy who runs it is very nice to deal with - he helped me out with some MAKE ME A SONG swag weeks after that show closed (too soon).

Random Heidi Blickenstaff observation:

It is humanly impossible to take a photo of Heidi where she looks lousy. Every shot you see of her, she's a knockout - her huge smile, her head perfectly tilted.
Missy knows how to work that camera!

Also, about the t-shirts... I was at the stage door last night, and Larry was wearing an awesome black shirt with the "four diamond studded chairs" which he said were heopfully going to be for sale soon (which I would totally buy). I love how many different (and creative) shirts they have for sale.

So I just watched the opening night speech video, and cried the whole way through it.


I'm lame. Haha.

Eh. Any publicity for the show is good publicity. We can work on getting Hunter a fashion layout in A Bear's Life.

Hmmm...

Agreed. I'd love to see them work out a deal with Kellog's given how Rice Krispie Treats is part of the [tos] ethos.

Oh yeah. Daddy likey.
