NYC area DUers! | comps - discount for Question W Revue!
the show returns from a vacation hiatus on TUESDAY 8/17 @ 9:30 and I'm going to offer some comps and discounts to DUers.

we have two more reviewers coming and I REALLY want a big house for our return so...

if you like to see the show, I'll offer comps to the first 6 people who respond. (one comp per reply, and, sorry, the two-drink minimum will still apply... I can't do anything about that)

also, ANY reservation of 4 or more from DUers, I will offer a half-price cover ($10).

don't reply on the thread, please. send me a PM if you'd like to take advantage of this offer.

thanks!



"...WILDLY FUNNY and irreverent. It is an outrageous musical satire that rips into today's headlines and take the audience into an off-the-wall 'no sin zone.' ... No one connected with the current administration or media is safe from attack in this clever show... sure to be one of the most talked about revues of the year. You may not agree, but you'll have a ball."
- John Hoglund, BACK STAGE

"...SURPRISINGLY ENTERTAINING, with parody lyrics that will have lovers of democracy–and those who are scared to death of 'Dubya'–applauding loudly in both recognition of and disgust for the current administration's blunders and policies...Crowe and Matsuki make a modern-day Hope & Crosby with sharp comic timing while Langeder and Phillips wield their Broadway-sized voices with power and confidence. Together they sound terrific in the group numbers and Rogers wisely kept the staging simple, breezy and smart."
- David Hurst, SHOW BUSINESS

11. I'm sorry but
no touring will be possible. the cast has too many commitments (including CHILDREN!) and the costs are way beyond my means.

that said, there WILL be a video and *maybe* a DVD of the show available sometime in the early fall.

and, if you know a theatre group who would like to produce a West Coast edition...

12. Not sure if I know a revue troupe, but count me in for a DVD...
I would LOVE to see it. I suspect I'll be purchasing one along with my own copy of "Fahrenheit 9/11."

15. Can you PM me about what you want in the way of royalties?
Had a great evening with Bev last night and we discussed the feasibility of putting together a touring troupe out here for a west coast run as a BBV fund raiser. We have a couple of venues available on the central coast in Santa Cruz and San Francisco and are talking to some friends in the LA area. We have the equipment and crew and my daughter, who works with The Actors Theater and Cabrillo Stage, is working on finding talent who would be able to travel.

16. i don't think that Brooks or I would care about royalties
there *might* be some $ due to the musical director if his arrangements are used but... he would probably not insist on that.

will send PM with my email next! (how exciting!)

39. could you please also send RT tickets to/from Denvoid with that?
~~gigglesnort~~

:hi:

That's exciting about a West Coast run, especially a fund raiser!

:thumbsup:

I used to have a few theater contacts in the Denvoid area..... maybe I'll mention this, if it's OK with you.....

27. thanks Mari... they are safe!
it turns out they left for their annual trip to Connecticut early and were safe at my sister's home.

AND, their home in Venice, according to CNN was NOT seriously affected by the storm.

all is well and THANK YOU for your concern.

31. yes, it was a shock when I called my sister
and my MOTHER answered. didn't even recognize the voice at first...

(she's a hopeless repuke though. we TRY not to talk politics but she said:

well, at least Hannity has a little personality.

I said:

very little!

and then we stopped talking POLITICS! (she just hates that ?W is a hit!)

32. ahhh its so hard when you have repubs in the family
I know . I dont even talk to my two brothers or my sister. I cant bear their politics..Its a shame. They are the "haves" right now. And I sometimes am amazed I am even related to them, and their lack of compassion and empathy for anyone.

Edited on Sat Aug-14-04 07:43 AM by nostamj
I just cracked jokes rather than going into a rant. and, she's just under-informed. she watches Fox. she listens to Rush.... what can you do?

I wish I could bring up the fact that her boy (*) will have her grandsons for cannon fodder if he's allowed to continue but...

34. I brought it up to my mom
and shes not voting at all, even tho she voted for Bush last time. I also told her to tell my 35 yr old banker brother to enlist or shut his trap. I am now considered the black sheep of the family. =)

29. I wanted to come to the 8/17 show.........
but my wife has to work that night, so at this point I'm looking at either the 24th or 25th.

I really wish I could be there to help fill out the crowd on the 17th for you.

Darn it!!!!
