Snow delay…sort of
So, the big news of today the 2nd of Dec. is that the show was delayed by 30 minutes due to the infamous curtain getting caught in the middle of the stage during the balcony scene. We had to pause for the stage hands to come out and fix the traveler..in the meantime Jennifer Garner, Concetta Tomei, Kevin Kline, Chris Sarandon and Daniel Sunjata, came out on stage and fielded questions from the audience. It was pretty funny. Concetta proceeded to thank her friends who came out all the way from Kinosha(spelling) Wisconsin, who were in the orchestra row f…HILARIOUS…Some audience members asked Kevin when he will be doing a Shakespeare again and what is going to be Jennifer’s next play?…she said no one has offered me anything yet, but my chances are diminishing by the minute! It was a good thing they went out there…any longer it would have been a real MUTINY. Kevin asked, “how many of you bought tickets before the strike?” most of the audience clapped…”how many of you bought tickets after?”…a few clapped…”how many are regretting you bought tickets at all?” Another question asked Daniel to take his clothes off like in Take Me Out…Real class..but he indulged the audience with a teasing smile.
My mother came to see the show as well as my brother, sister and High School theater teacher, with her husband. My mom decided to see the show that afternoon. I brought her down to meet Kevin in his dressing room, and he was very gracious. He spoke with her for a while and let her sit in the box that he enters the stage from. She had a great time meeting him. She met most of the cast and got the star treatment from all of my great friends in the show. They treated her so well…she was over the moon!
That night my a few of my siblings saw the show with my mom again and my HS teacher and her spouse, and they loved it…Afterwards, they met Jennifer Garner and she signed autographs and spoke with my family for a while, She too was very gracious and my sister was fawning over her and hugged her. My brother who had never been to NYC, and never seen a Broadway show, meets Jennifer all in the same trip…He was in a different world! Jennifer signed a program to the drama students at my HS as well…made my teacher very happy. My sister was also overjoyed to meet Mr. Sunjata…no surprise as every girl is very excited to meet him. He too was very sweet.
I am a very lucky person, and am so happy to be a part of this show. Since the strike the show has been pretty amazing…minus the fight today…my fight with Kevin that is…didn’t go as well as it normally does…but it happens…The houses have been full, the audiences have been receiving us and the stories with there whole hearts. We are lucky to be able to do the things that we want to do on a regular basis…
