When I came down the hallway towards the stage for our places call, I was shocked to hear how many people were in the house tonight for the gypsy run. Most of you peeps who made it were either involved with the show, knew someone pretty high up, or you stole them from our intern, Leah Harris. I honestly thought there would only be about 20 people there. I was wrong.
My apologies to Hunter for dropping about 6 lines in our opening scene. Hunter, are you still mad at me? I got nervous to call "line" to Leah (who was on book in the front row) because I think it would have scared her more that I called for a line than me not knowing what I was supposed to say. Not that she's not a fantastic prompter, but c'mon people that has to be nerve-racking to be in charge of calling out actor lines for a Broadway dress rehearsal. Leah just recently graduated high school, so I equate her experience with the fantasy of: if I were on-book for "City of Angels" in 1990. I would've been terrified of James Naughton and Rachel York. JNaugton is of course the equivalent to "Jeff" and Rachel York is of course, "Hunter."
Since no one has ever seen the bway version of the show before, no one has any idea what lines were dropped...so that's good.
I love being back in the arena with my tos cohorts. FIRST PREVIEW this Saturday. Holy balls, people. This is happening.
So it's Monday. Maybe you rocked it hard at a Gay Pride party. Maybe you rocked it with the Lord at church. Maybe you rocked it at a pride church party...[tos] loves you all, but the point is, you might be at a cubicle or a touch sleepy. I say log on, buy a bunch o tix for [tos] on Broadway, tell your co-workers you've done this then crank these two videos for Lundi Musique [tos]Dance Party.*
*Note: [tos]Dance Party may cause you to get fired. We don't what that, so hopefully your boss is cool and has mad-ass moves. Now dance it up tossers. We'll be teching the show for you!
