BYE BYE BOSTON and Hello Muggings

So today was an interesting one........

Matinee audience was quite possibly the most cadaver-like peeps we have had to date.  I am guessing they were tired from church and green bean casserole in the basement afterward, but it never fails....at the end they were on their feet.  It could be the ole BLUE HAIR MATINEE syndrome.....but I swanee we thought they hated us.

Jay was great going on for Tally---as expected a small bit of misformations but no major tragedies.  And, he drove the golfcart like a pro!!!!!

The evening show proved a little interesting with Mamie hurting herself coming out of SERIOUS. The cafe tables are not eh most sturdy objects ever made by man.  One night Ven sent the entire table and chilled champagne sprawling. But, she seriously injured her foot.  So, going into BLOOD IN THE WATER she left stage to tend to a bloody bruise.  Other than that, not much changed. But, Sara Andreas did have to take a break from Leslie teaching her all the NICEST KIDS IN TOWN ography from HAIRSPRAY to jumprope.  And, Spencer was great filling in for VEN again as well.  For dinner, a wee excursion to FAJITAS AND RITAS was had. The food was great, though STACEY was having a small mexican baby during show two. But, we we are guessing that they had someone not showup to work because they were totally understaffed and full of anxiety filled starving customers.

Also, a wee bit of a clarity.  In the post about Ven I said he had been kicking for Jehovah.  I received a few emails asking if he was a JEHOVAH'S WITNESS. The answer is a no. After some research, and remembering the SCRIVNERS from my childhood, I don't actually know if it is possible for a JEHOVAH'S WITNESS to be in a musical. None the less, for one to be in LEGALLY BLONDE where they say OMIGOD almost 4 million times( please know that its not an exact number).  If somebody else knows something, please help educate me cause the official website didn't exactly dictate whether one could sing or dance. I just know that Delwin's older sister was Valedictorian and couldn't be at the joint worship service or graduation.

To close, we were treated with two boxes of clothes that were used either by the broadway cast or from other shows and made out like banshees.  I got a great suit of Borle's from GAY OR EUROPEAN, though i will have to remove a shoulder pad cause he is a little lopsided and has more shoulderpads on the right side, as well as an Armani jacket of BRIAN DACRY JAMES' from the SCOUNDRELS tour.  Happy day of the Pagan Sun God i say........

And kudos to Lauren, Kevin, and others for completing our mural for the theatre. It rocked and left stripper dust, all over the place, to remember us by for weeks to come.  And i will say it, we would have liked to stay here a few more weeks and loved the deck crew. They were the best we have had thus far.  But honestly, if DIRTY DANCING can be here 10 weeks why not give us another one?  LEts start a petition to come back what do you say?!

In closing, I thought you all should know that we ended up making over $25,000 for BCEFA in a week and a half in BOSTON.  It was totally inspiring, and great to hear the responses from the crowd as wee children threw in allowance money and moms threw 20's.   It will be cool to see how much we get by Dec.

Off we now go to Cleveland.......
