So after the back to back Sondheim last Saturday (4/19), I headed back on Sunday (4/20) to see one of my favorite shows last season, Curtains! They had announced that they are closing this June and I wanted to see it one more time before it's run ended. It was this show that made me want to take up dance classes again (and by that I mean Hawaiian when I was 6....LOL!). This time I was with Dawn, Mike and Tom who were seeing it for the first time. I'm happy to say that the show is still as fresh, energetic and enjoyable as I had seen it last year (see previous post here). The whole company still seemed to be enjoying performing on stage together. Bravo to the whole cast!
I did however have a major "slip of doom" moment. As I opened my playbill, the white slip read "role of Bobby Pepper will be played by David Eggers". This role is usually played by Noah Racey. I was looking forward to seeing him dance again and also sign my Never Gonna Dance Playbill that I had with me. But alas he wasn't on that day. Devastated :(
Don't get me wrong though, David Eggers was good and I still did enjoyed the show.

Erin Davie (formerly of Grey Gardens) played Niki
Addendum (5/7/08): Maybe this is the reason why I didn't get to see him: Broadway Tap Dancers Come to Jordan





I'm a *huge* fan of CURTAINS and I'll be seeing it for the 10th time tonight. Most of the time I go by myself, but this will be my fourth time going with someone. He hasn't seen the show. :)
ReplyDelete^^ Oh I love taking newbies to shows that I enjoy! Specially Curtains where I remember I was grinning the whole length of the show the first time I saw it. It was nice to see my friends faces grinning too that day.
