What to say about the show that’s not been said? 🙂 We were sitting in a box, again, so that was fun. We had actually been preparing ourselves for the possibility that Colm would be out…he’d been out the whole week before, and when I’d spoken to Tim a couple of days before, he said it was likely that Colm wouldn’t be performing. But he was there! Actually, everyone was there! We saw the complete cast, not a single understudy. That’s got to be pretty rare.
Anyway, I’m sure most people would never have known that Colm wasn’t feeling 100%. His Bring Him Home was AMAZING, with the longest ending I’ve ever heard! (Though I think Tim exaggerated in his estimate. 🙂 The whole show was really just wonderful, and the stage door was a blast, as always! 🙂
The Quotes:
“She’s crazy!”
The woman in line behind me, referring to me, to the other people that arrived. 🙂
“This is art! I just ate a piece of art!”
Tim, enjoying my chocolates
“I remember you guys! No…I only remember you”
Regan, to Alison and I, realizing she’d never met Alison before 🙂
