HOW TO SUCCEED ... ONLY SLIGHTLY RECOVERED

Feb 27, 2011 22:30

My trip to New York this weekend was a whirlwind of catching up with old friends, meeting old friends for the first time in person, and seeing the most endearing smile on earth. I wouldn’t trade the experience for anything, but I got little sleep on Thursday before leaving, then we got very little sleep either night we were in town, and we had to ( Read more... )

all this people reviews are making me So excited for next weekend starnightmuse February 28 2011, 06:19:20 UTC

sounds like you had a fantastic time and that the show is well beyond Worth seeing ( ... )

The show really was fantastic, and something I think can be enjoyed by ALL ages who go to see it ( ... )

You asked if I managed to wait backstage after the show, but I assume you mean at the stage door. (The average audience member doesn't have the luxury of going back stage). My friends and I did wait for Dan to come out after the show ended, but by having been in the show and not wanting to leave it early, we were nowhere near close enough to get anything signed. The crowd waiting was HUGE and we watched from across the street. You have heard somewhat correctly that getting an autograph from Dan at the stage door is sort of like an assemby line. He moves down the barried on one side signing for the people in the front there, then he moves to the other side and does the same before climbing into the car and leaving. I truly believe he'd be willing to do more, but unfortunately the way these barriers are set up to keep a path open for the actors to exit and for Dan to get safely to the car, people get packed in against them and no one seems to move from their spots until Dan leaves. If there are no new people able to move up to ( ... )

yes you did.
and i'm feeling a little uneasy about the seating now, since my tickets are:ORCHESTRA RIGHT, Row R, Seat 2
(would that be problematic??)

but thanks for answering. I didn't had too much hope of the stage door, or intervals, but depends on the circumstances (meaning if there is a lot of people or not- i might risk it; but chances are on the No, since from what you describe and from videos of stage door i seen it's just as bad as the premiere barrier and i will not go through that again)

at least I get to see the play now, and again in the future.

thank you once again for all your help and i'm glad you enjoyed the show

Fun! Fun! Fun!...and I MISSED it! Rats!
I'm glad you have such a good memory and ability to write about events.
Dan didn't turn your mind to mush and for that I am grateful!
Seems if you could get a good shot of the marquee from the hotel room window, they didn't try too hard to accommodate you with a room overlooking 44th St. Or, am I wrong?

Dan turns all of me to mush on a regular basis, but I do try to keep my mind sharp since he thinks intelligence is sexy. It's about the only hope I'd ever have of attracting him because I seriously doubt he'd feel that way about any other part of me.

You are quite right on the hotel. Our window was overlooking 8th Avenue. We could see the Shake Shack and the marquee from our window.

We hated that you were not with us, but at least we already know we'll all be there together at the end.

one thing i'm confused about... anonymous March 1 2011, 04:30:02 UTC

is this, the whole Dan being led into a car and not being allowed to stay longer outside ( ... )

Re: one thing i'm confused about... starnightmuse March 1 2011, 04:37:49 UTC

*oops, that was me. my computer logged me out for being out for too long.

after you answer you can delete the anonymous post, as I would have my answer.

I'll reply to this one since you won't get a notice for the ones you left that were anonymous (I answered one of them on the anonymous post before I realized it, so check for answers to those questions there ( ... )

After the show- A short Thank you- part 1 starnightmuse March 9 2011, 00:51:09 UTC

Contrary to my heart-gripping fears, My going to the show this past weekend turned out the best possible way that i could even imagine or dream ( ... )

Re: After the show- A short Thank you- part 1 triomakesmehot March 9 2011, 04:14:06 UTC

That was a pretty small theatre, but I've been in one that was smaller. In 2007, I saw "Dumb Waiter" in London (with Jason Isaacs and Lee Evans) at Trafalgar Studio 1 and it only seats 380 people. It was tiny (and Studio 2 there only seats 100).

But your comment about Dan rising from below the stage ... umm, yeah. I can sympathize. My first time seeing Dan in person was Equus in London and when he walked onto the stage right below me (I was in stage seats), he was shirtless and so close I could literally hear him breathing. I am amazed to this day that my heart didn't stop right then and there.

anyway so the show ( ... )

I just loved everything about this show ... even the non-Dan stuff. Smitty was really great, and I'm quite happy to say that I read she was born in the town where I work. I thought Rose was fantastic in her role, and really just everyone was terrific in their parts. I laughed at your comment about the girls in the bathroom. The thing I love about watching Dan work is that he does his characters so well that I don't see Dan ... I see Harry, or Alan Strang, or Pierrepont Finch ... so the Dan with another girl bit isn't bothersome. (Not that it should be for me anyway as I'm much too old for him, but it is so much fun to daydream otherwise).
