Marvelous in MAME
« on: November 11, 2002, 06:04:26 AM »
I hope ProfStokes and victoriawinters had as much fun as I did at Mame.  I'm looking forward to reading your reactions and reports, ladies, on everything from the play and Selby's performance to meeting him afterwards.  Did he come out to the lobby to meet you?  (He said the backstage area was too small.  They saw the afternoon show yesterday, btw, whereas MsCriseyde and I attended in the evening, as did our friend VampiRich as well as Marcy Robin, Kathy Resch, and their friend Pam.)

I'll write more about it when I have a chance, but for now I'll just say that his singing blew me away, his energy on stage and when he met with his fans was an incredible sight to behold, and to paraphrase a friend, ohmygodhewassogorgeous.

He mentioned that LP and KLS attended Friday's performance, and that Johnny Karlen had also come to see him!

Thanks for mentioning that John Karlen came to see David Selby's performance, Midnite.  Glad to hear that he's feeling up to attending the theatre. :D

You're welcome, dear.  I thought you might enjoy hearing that.

I really shouldn't be doing this because I have papers to grade before class tomorrow, but what the heck.

I've scanned the cover of the Mame playbill and the backstage pass Cabrillo Music Theatre created for David's fans and uploaded them to my site.

Hopefully, I'll be adding more stuff soon.

One thing that is missing right now that might be useful is a synopsis of Mame from Musicals.Net:

And, yes, I did snicker every time they mentioned that Burnside's plantation was called Peckerwood. It's my new favorite word. ;-)

You lucky gal!  Thanks for filling us in Midnite.
It must have been great to hear David sing too.

Also, it's great to hear that John Karlen was up and about and able to enjoy the show.  Im glad he's doing well!   Thanks! :-)

Just got some photos in via email last night after I posted the other stuff. Here's a preview of coming attractions . . .



This probably now makes me the first person in recorded history to crop herself out of a photo of David Selby. [lghy]

I had to head out this morning before I could mention that there are two photos of David in addition to the one above that I have now uploaded to the site.

Click the link banner below and follow the link from the What's New section.

I cropped myself out of all the photos just because I am not keen on plastering my own face all over the site, but, since someone suggested posting this here, here is one of the few shots from the batch where neither of us is gesticulating wildly and blurring up the shot or blinking:

Wonderful picture...glad you did put it here.  I think this one is even better than some of the Hartfords, and even the ones in the Rotunda.

And where is a certain other picture I have seen, of another ravishing woman dressing up The Man's arm?
