"How does the seating work? Tables?"

I second this question!

Also, I know there's a 2 item FOOD/beverage minimum. So I'd assume that just means they want you to buy like, a water bottle & some food off the menu, right? People are commenting about how expensive it is... could someone give me a ballpark amount? I'm just trying to figure out how much money I may need to get out of my mother hahah. Hey, a 17 year old who babysits only has limited funds! =)

I'll pay someone $50 to tape Sunday night's performance. =)

Yay more Hunter Foster! :)

Questions:
- yes, seating is tables
- food/drink is two *item*- you can get two drinks, two foods, ('two foods?' jeez I am tired), or one of each. Math-wise, I think the cheapest you can do it is to get two $4 items, so $10 total when you include tax/tip.
- Fyi, I have heard that TDF tickets get the food/drink minimum requirement waived- never done it, but someone who posted either here or on ATC did, got their tix thru TDF, and said their food min was waived just fine.

Just wondering if anyone knows who will be performing tomorrow night. I heard Bebe Neuwirth will be there, but just wondering if anyone knows of anyone else. Thanks!

More Hunter Foster is that awesome from DQ tonight- he did celeb press conference tonight and was Arnold Schwarzenegger in Hairspray, and he seemed to think that he was Bill Clinton for a bit, with his "...and she's running for President (off of the 'reporters' looks) no, she's not, my wife's not running for president" which lead to one of my fav lines of the night, with reporter Steve Rosen asking "so speaking of your wife, are you dressing up as Skeletor for Halloween this year?" It's funny cause it's true- hee.

Also tonight- Mickey Mouse's eulogy; Hair in 60, 30, 10 seconds; replay set in a dressing room and replayed in the porn, Bollywood and Animation film styles; ny2 musical ("Condiments Combat" I think was the name of the first one), play "Stabbed on the Subway" and musical "Fleet Week: The Musical," which led to my second favorite Rosen line of the night 'sailors, sailors everywhere, and not a drop to...let's look at this clip.' Oh- and Hunter Foster was obscene in the Overactor's Symphony- funny because Jen Cody was assigning the emotions, *hawt* because his obscene involved him lifting his shirt and flashing his abs over and over and over and over again.

Last week Thurs night with Sam Harris, Jay Johnson and Kate Shindle was also fun- I never saw Jay Johnson's show, but he did a bit that I believe was from that show, at one point he, the tennis ball in his hand, the guy living under the stage, and the dog living under the stage were all 'talking.' Sam Harris and Kate Shindle did a Miss America vs Star Search battle that involved riding a big wheel, having to talk to a drunken host, and lip-sync along to a song that they wouldn't be told ahead of time what it was.

And besides the battle, Kate Shindle also did celebrity press conference, as Rosie O'Donnell in Hair, and this is what I love about seeing people in DQ- Kate Shindle, very pretty, awesome voice, but 'OMG she's so *funny*!' would've never been the first thing I said about her. Now that I've seen her in DQ, though, 'OMG she's so funny too!' is totally added to the pretty/great voice list- the 'drunken host' asked "so how do you stay so fit, and swimsuits: one piece or two?" to which she replied "I'm a fan of purging, and two." (Sorry, maybe eating disorder jokes are only funny the one time and don't translate online well.) And then in press conference she kept throwing Koosh balls to the crowd, lifted her shirt and flashed us when she figured out she was in Hair, and then the song she performed later in the night as Rosie O'Donnell in Hair involved the lyrics "Elisabeth can suck it" and a crotch grab. Totally funny.

Going back for a third time this long weekend for Bebe Neuwirth tomorrow night!

Mealz- there are releases with the weekend's guests, the one for this weekend can be found here:

I was there for Saturday 5:30pm show w/ Daniel Reichard, Hunter Foster, Christopher Sieber, Jen Cody, and others. It was my first time and absolutely fabulous.

Daniel did the celebrity press conference and was Helen Keller in A Chorus Line. Hunter did the backstage story and told stories from Grease, and Chris Sieber did Mad Libs to All I Care About is Love. The core cast did Wicked as their show in 60/30/10 seconds and it was really good. The funeral eulogy was for Alice in Wonderland.

I definitely hope to catch this show again, it was great! If you haven't gone yet, go!

[fetzles1490]

Posted: 5/28/07 at 3:21pm

I was there too, and it was my first time too =D

Alice in Wonderland was my suggestion, so it was pretty cool that they did it =)
And I was one of the contestants for the game where you guess the celebrity impersonations. I lost miserably because my co-contestant was WAY faster on the bell than me.

ok those of you who have been to DQ, what has been your favorite musical madlibs lyric? I have two- Sam Harris did madlibs to "Over the Rainbow" on last Thursday and got

Somewhere over the rainbow, condoms slip

and then a while back Tracie Thoms did madlibs to "Seasons of Love" and got

525,000 fetuses to exfoliate

It makes me laugh just typing these two lyrics. :)

I've missed the show this week, looking forward to being back in NYC and seeing again!

Tink, I'm glad you finally went and liked it!!

Oh, and i forgot to add a few other players. Todd Buonopane, Jill Abramovitz, Charlie Pollack (I think that is his name), and Nancy Opel. I'm a bit hard of hearing and when they announced everyone's names, it sounded like a big blur to me, lol!

I am trying to remember all the details ( I saw Journey's End afterwards, so that is kind of occupying my thoughts).

Todd/Jill/Charlie/Jen did Wicked as their show that could be shortened. Jen was Glinda, Nancy was Elphaba (and sang a mean defying Gravity), Todd was Fiyero, and Charlie as Boq.

They did a skit involving different acting genres which was pretty funny. It involved a bakery with Todd as the dad, Jill as the daughter, and Steve Rosen (I think) was the mother. They did it in regular mode, old 20's mob film type of mode (I forget the actual term), Andrew Lloyd Webber Musical mode, and Action Sequence mode. Really funny, and I really applaud the actors on their quick wit.

The show review segment was cute. Two musicals "One Two Buckle My Shoe" and "Rainman the Musical" (<--- absolutely hilarious!!!!) and the play was a children's play called "Guns" I think.

Oh an the little kid playing Gavaroche in les Miz was there also. He and Jen Cody read a scene from Coast of Utopia.

Overactor's Symphony was great. Trying to remember but Chris Sieber was "horny", someone was "thirsty", Daniel was something having to with bitter (his line was "I can't believe I didn't get nominated for a Tony", and then I think Rosen was excited or something, and his line was "I got nominated for a Tony" and they were standing next to each other so it was funny). Someone else that was there please help me out!

It was just really cool. I had heard good reviews and read about, but it was totally different in person. I guess the fact that you could really tell the cast was having a really good time really sold it for me. They were so energetic and happy. It was hard not to be in a good mood!

Tink, that sounds like a good show- "Rainman: the Musical" sounds hysterical! I agree with what you said about it being different between reading about it and seeing it in person- I think what I'm writing about after I see a show sounds like so much fun, but then sometimes I wonder if funny improv translates across 'teh internets' well or not. Oh well...


Tonight's show also had Wicked in 60-30-10 seconds (my fav part being the Nessarose character 'rolling' herself across stage saying "...and my part is underwritten" each time- hee); foreign film was "Illegal Turtle Racing" from Germany, starring Lisa Jolley, Eric B. Anthony and Steve Rosen, with dubbing by Sandy Rustin and David Rossmer; NY2 had the musical "Don't Sleep with the Drummer," the play "Bad Man at Home," and the musical "Power Rangers Go West," which somehow turned into David, doing the setup for Act II of "Power Rangers Go West," talking about how meat and potatoes are not kosher, until he realized that potatoes are not dairy (?), which completely had this shiksa cracking the hell up; John Treacy Egan did celebrity press conference where he was Richard Simmons starring in Spring Awakening, and his 'clip' of this performance at the end of NY2 was so great! Let's see, what else- oh, John Bolton did his special skill of singing "Oklahoma" in German, Italian and Japanese (which David and Steve talked about in that Broadway Bullet that Liotte posted the link to above); Stars of Tomorrow with Gavroche from Les Miz doing Coast of Utopia; and Alf's eulogy.

And Bebe Neuwirth was also there tonight! She did musical madlibs to "All That Jazz," and seemed to be completely into it, including sultry walk up to the mike during the opening notes of the song, and she had some excellent new lyrics to sing thanks to the crowd (I think "did she hear, Oprah Winfrey's queer," and the song ending with "omigod!" were my favorites). She also stuck around for Overactor's Symphony, and when someone in the crowd yelled out "stoned" (or was it "high"?) as an emotion, she raised her hand to be assigned that- and Bebe Neuwirth does a good stoned, it was great!

I was there last night, too. John Treacy Egan did a mean "It's the Bitch of Dieting". I was excited during the mad libs because one of the blanks was "musical genre", and when someone said reggae I figured we'd be seeing Bebe doing All That Reggae. I was a little disappointed that Power Rangers Go West didn't go the direction of the power rangers franchise because the actors said they weren't sure what that was... shame because they had the pink and yellow rangers already and everything! (Sandy and the other actress who started the skit, whose name I can't remember, happened to be wearing solid colored pink and yellow shirts, perfect!). During the battle portion, Bebe did an impression of Al Pacino but the two participants didn't get it (husky voiced "no, you're out of order! you're out of order!") and Bebe laughingly but incredulously said something like, "are you kidding me? I'm done!" Then she tried another line, but they still didn't get it :)

Does anyone know if there is a schedule for who will be the guest performers?

[bunger12]

Posted: 5/29/07 at 12:17pm

I was there last night too -- if I'd have been up onstage, I wouldn't have taken most of those suggestions for titles! They seemed impossible to play. "Illegal Turtle Racing" as the title of a film? Is it a documentary? Where were the actors supposed to go with that? And I'm sorry, but if you wanted to see the Power Rangers Franchise because of the color of Sandy Rustin and Donna Vivino's shirts, you're there for the wrong reason.

What was wrong with Bebe's Madlibs? It was awesome!

When I've seen the show, the more basic the suggestions, the better the skits/scenes/whatever are. When it's so specific, there's nothing they can add to it! That drove me crazy last night -- it seems like people in the audience have their suggestions already prepared before they go -- it's funnier when it just pops out of nowhere.

Just my opinion, but I like it when the show is smarter and the audience isn't trying to totally steer it in a dumb direction.
