Oh, my...how frightening to be chided by BK himself on this very frightening of days. I was, indeed, reading the posts, but every time I started to write a post, my boss would walk by and give me the evil eye, so I had to close the window...it's quite unseemly.
I hope everyone is having a lovely Halloween. I haven't really any plans, with the exception of a midnight screening of THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE with some friends at a theatre in Times Square. I used
www.movietickets.com for the first time today to buy my ticket, so we'll see if it's actually there waiting for me.
Tomorrow I depart for Washington, DC, to see BOUNCE. Twice. Oy. I'll give a full report on Monday when I return.
Good news for WICKED: They've managed over $350,000 in ticket sales today, which is nearly double what they were doing yesterday and according to Playbill.com, their producer has stated that they haven't even begun their advertising campaigns. I can't believe that, considering how much I've seen about the show in papers, magazines, theatre shops, Times Square, etc., and now they have a radio commercial running. Good for them, I say. Perhaps it will be a hit after all. I sure hope so.
I want some candy.
My favorite Halloween costume? Well, don't laugh, but one year I was the Wicked Witch of the West--green skin, green nails, black wig et al. It was during my obsessive WIZARD OF OZ period, and I simply felt that Margaret Hamilton had the best makeup and costumes of all the characters, so that's who I wanted to be. My parents didn't quite get it, and still claim not to "get" it... Hmm...
My other favorite was the Phantom of the Opera costume I did for two or three years, complete with an extensive home-made makeup job that looked quite wonderful if I do say so myself. Stage Makeup 101 did wonders for me. In fact, the Phantom makeup was my final project in that class.
