If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it?
These are DISCUSSION boards, not mutual admiration boards. Discussion only occurs when we are willing to hear what others are thinking, regardless of whether it is alignment to our own thoughts.

Posted: 8/7/11 at 5:24pmYes actually I do! I would love to see Cheyenne in that role again. And of course Jackie Hoffman and Mary Testa!

Posted: 8/7/11 at 8:00pmHey Taboo...long time... I saw it on Broadway and had an onstage seat. When it last toured, I saw it in Dallas in April 2010, with Max Von Essen playing Sonny Malone. He was a sweetheart at the stage door. from RC in Austin, Texas
"Noel [Coward] and I were in Paris once. Adjoining rooms, of course. One night, I felt mischievous, so I knocked on Noel's door, and he asked, 'Who is it?' I lowered my voice and said 'Hotel detective. Have you got a gentleman in your room?' He answered, 'Just a minute, I'll ask him.'" (Beatrice Lillie)

Yes, I do miss Xanadu.
I was so glad the tour stopped in Orlando last year (saw it 3 times there!)

Posted: 8/8/11 at 10:11amYes. I saw it once on Broadway and twice on tour (Chicago and Cleveland). It was the last trip I took with my father. We had such a great time.

Posted: 8/8/11 at 10:21amSaw it four times on Broadway (all onstage seating), but even better, it was an early bonding tool with someone who has become a very special and altogether remarkable friend.

Posted: 8/8/11 at 10:34amYes, I miss the good-natured, energetic, fun, "pick-me-up" experience of Xanadu! Nothing like it since...

Saw it the first time in the back mezz, expecting nothing, basically seeing because we had no other ticket options and it was 7:45. Loved it! Went back again and sat onstage.
I-I-I-I miss it too.

Posted: 8/9/11 at 12:19pmYou can come and see it in Kansas City at the Starlight Theatre August 15th though 21st!
#16Xanadu Withdrawal
Posted: 8/9/11 at 12:32pmHeck yes I miss it! For a while there, it was a way of life for me and quite a few others. I can't even remember how many times I saw it, and stage-doored it, but it was definitely double digits. And the best part was that, on the night it was recorded for Lincoln Center, I was sitting onstage with my besties and Jackie chose me to pick on!
The last vampire is the mother of all vampires and that is the vampire of despair. It'll wake you up at 4am to say things like:
Who do you think you are kidding?
You look like a fool!
No matter how hard you try, you'll never be good enough!
Why is it that if some dude walked up to me on the subway platform
and said these things, I'd think he was a mentally ill as-h-le,
but if the vampire inside my head says it,It's the voice of reason!
