Hope DR vixmom had a great theater-going experience this afternoon.

And that DR Jrand72 had some good auditions with useable candidates.

I’m back to The Man Who Would Be King. John Huston in full David Lean mode complete with a wonderful Maurice Jarre score.

The play was wonderful

vixmom · « **Reply #132 on:** July 23, 2023, 07:49:56 PM »

It started with a pre-play about 15 minutes before showtime with various members of the ensemble out in the audience interacting with patrons in character as their actor charactersm not their play characters

If that makes sense

vixmom · « **Reply #134 on:** July 23, 2023, 07:50:24 PM »

The audience was in good form as well

vixmom · « **Reply #135 on:** July 23, 2023, 07:51:45 PM »

During the opening curtain speech the assistant, uh “co” director suggested we should “boo” Captain Hook ( played by the ‘director)

vixmom · « **Reply #136 on:** July 23, 2023, 07:52:11 PM »

The audience took it to heart and booed with great vigor

vixmom · « **Reply #137 on:** July 23, 2023, 07:53:46 PM »

Captain Hook kept shouting at the audience “be quiet” ‘stop that” “stop booing” “SHUT UP!!!”

At one point , while standing directly in front of a sitting Peter Pan he asked “where’s Peter Pan?”

vixmom · « **Reply #139 on:** July 23, 2023, 07:55:57 PM »

A lady in the audience ( who was sitting directly in front of us) shouted out “behind you”

vixmom · « **Reply #140 on:** July 23, 2023, 07:56:48 PM »

We assumed she was a plant, but it turned out we bumped into her later and she is simply a fan who had already seen the show 4 times before

vixmom · « **Reply #141 on:** July 23, 2023, 07:57:39 PM »

After she shouted he yelled at her to be quiet and told her she was ruining the play

vixmom · « **Reply #142 on:** July 23, 2023, 07:58:18 PM »

Then he said his line again which prompted the entire audience to shout “ behind you!”

vixmom · « **Reply #143 on:** July 23, 2023, 07:59:07 PM »

That happened one more time before he stopped and gave us all a lecture about acting and lettin* things happen organically …we were rolling

vixmom · « **Reply #144 on:** July 23, 2023, 08:00:13 PM »

After the show was over one of the cast gave a curtain speech thanking us for being there and saying they just had one more show at 7 tonight

vixmom · « **Reply #145 on:** July 23, 2023, 08:01:21 PM »

Then he thanked us for being a great , and particularly vocal audience which caused several of the actors to start laughing

vixmom · « **Reply #146 on:** July 23, 2023, 08:01:41 PM »

It really was wonderfully funny

vixmom · « **Reply #147 on:** July 23, 2023, 08:02:23 PM »

It is heading to the west coast for a run in a couple of weeks . I highly recommend it

vixmom · « **Reply #148 on:** July 23, 2023, 08:02:42 PM »

Vixdad had a fine time

John G. · « **Reply #149 on:** July 23, 2023, 08:03:38 PM »

New York, New York is closing. No surprise. But it’s still sad the show was such a mess. I guess Stroman isn’t one to rescue a show from mediocre writing.
