'tos' rice krispie treats would be the best ever.

I'm glad you gave the show a second chance, Yankee!

Great picture of the gang, yankee!

And am I the only one super attracted to Hunter?

Taylor, you are definitely not alone on that one... =D

Okay, glad I'm not alone. :)

In all respects to him, I kind of got the same vibe broadwayjim42. Now I know a lot of people on here have seen the show multiple times and gotten closer with the cast, but I'm just saying with my one time meeting him he was not as "warm" for lack of a better word at the stage door. Not that I'm expecting him to be ecstatic and hugging every fan who saw the show, just an observation.

I definitely felt more comfortable around the other three than I did around Jeff. It's not that he's not a nice guy (because he is), but he just didn't seem as "warm," as Jim said,.

---

I saw the show for the third time yesterday and had to stage door again 'cause I introduced a third friend to it and she wanted to meet them. (Six more people!) I get the feeling that Jeff feels a little awkward talking to people he hasn't ever met. I think he's just a little shy. The other three seem to be incredibly comfortable just getting on a friend-basis with a lot of the fans. Some people find that easy and some find it rather difficult. I think, as time goes on, Jeff'll warm up a little more to the [tos]sers.

---

It wasn't as much a criticism as an observation...and there isn't a warmth-o-meter.

It's just that the other three are so outgoing that Jeff's shyness, reticence...whatever it is, stands out.

I wish I had an opinion. The time I saw the show I wasn't able to SD, I had dinner reservations. I'm sure they are all amazing in their own ways! I so wanna go back to watch the show and meet them!!

So jealous of everyone who has pictures with the cast as their avatars! LOL! jk :P

And can I rant for just a second and say how irritated I am with people hating on [tos] without ever seeing it? For example, here is what a friend of mine told me - "To be honest I am iffy about seeing title of show because (and this isn't because i read it on BWW though I do agree with it) of the whole "look at us aren't we clever." - and he has never seen the show! If I can get him to see the show - I'll convert him to a being a tosser!

-- opinions about things they have never seen before? It happens.... hahaha

---------------------------------------------------

biggest CHENO fan- there are plenty of people who haven't being following [tos] and became converted to [tossers] when they saw the show, so I wouldn't worry about it too much. I don't think people's like or dislike of the show is based on that.

----------------------------------------------------

lastly, if you're going to 'make' me "Warmth-o-meter" these guys, I've got to give my kudos to Susan and Heidi for remembering me and being super friendly with me (I saw the show for the 3rd time last night and I chatted with both of them for a bit and they were super smiley, thanking me for working on bringing my 9 people, as I had another friend with me) where as for the guys it's more vague recognition- though they are still super nice. Also, when the cast saw my best friend and fellow tosser at Borders without me (I had work-boo) Susan apparently asked- Where's Nathalie? which cracked me up and put a smile on my face. But no matter, I have such a great amount of love, admiration, and respect for the whole crew! I'm just afraid I'm going to go into [tos] withdrawl when I go back to school in 2 weeks :o

I've seldom read a review for ANY show that so bubbles over with such warmth, erudition and enthusiasm as Michael Feingold's [tos] write-up in the VOICE:

The appeal of [title of show], the tiny Off-Off phenomenon that has now moved up, via Off-Broadway, to become an enthusiastically received new Broadway show, lies in its simple sweetness....[title of show] not only gives you four new people to meet, but cannily exploits their contrasting personalities to show you that each is gifted—and appealing—in his or her own way. Sharp-featured Susan Blackwell's sardonic line readings suggest a stereotypically barbed personality until Hunter Bell's book lets her reveal the compassion and wisdom behind the barbs, as well as the frustration that aims them. Heidi Blickenstaff's cheery, buxom-barmaid persona (Frans Hals would be happy) is enhanced by the big, round vocal tones that Jeff Bowen's music allows her to unpack, conveying a passion well beyond simple ingenue cheeriness....
They're young, they're funny, and they're telling you they're not going
