"Zac is sweet as can be. He's very much just a sweet kid from California who happens to have a face that looks like it was drawn by Michelangelo, (if Michelangelo did anime)." -Adam Shankman.
"I haven't left this building since Windows 3.1!"
"Celebrating a birthday this week: Rene Descartes is 412! Do you know who he is? Then why are you watching this show? You could probably get into college and even get one of those job things. As for the rest of us; Amanda Bynes is 22! Yay!" -E!'s "The Soup"
Hold your hats and hallelujah. THE LIGHTS WILL SHINE AGAIN!!!
And sorry if this is corny, but I've been waiting to do it all week. A small quote from my namesake. "Fellow BWW-ers. We've been through a frightening time. And there will be other times and other things that frighten us."
Well, it's over. We're out it all. I have to say I didn't think it'd be over this soon. So yeah, for the record, I never once felt as optimistic as I said I was.
Oh, thank GOD! Oh...*phew*, you know....(laughs)....I mean, really, now....MAN! Gosh....WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE......shooooo. *takes breath* I just...I'm....you know.....well.....there it is.
haha!! I'm curious as to what the compromises were.
"In theater, the process of it is the experience. Everyone goes through the process, and everyone has the experience together. It doesn't last - only in people's memories and in their hearts. That's the beauty and sadness of it. But that's life - beauty and the sadness. And that is why theater is life." - Sherie Rene Scott
The strike ended because they finally agreed to let Stagefan and I mop the stage for no pay and give us each a nice comfy spot to live in the orchestra pit
Not to be a party pooper or anything; if you read the press release, Claffey still has to get the union memberships' vote to end the strike, ratified in 10 days. Tentative, yes, hopefully this will be the ACTUAL end.
I'm thrilled and happy for everyone involved, except, selfishly, me. Now I have to go back to tending bar. So come see me being miserable at the Ambassador Thursday night. I'll be making my debut as bar manager, as Ms. Turturro, Mr. Pastore, and Mr. Caulfield make their debuts as well. I'd just gotten used to working a full-time schedule at my other job, and this is going to screw up my whole weekend. It's all worth it though to see the lights back on Broadway, and to get back to collecting for Broadway Cares. I'll hopefully also be back at Phantom helping raise money. Whomever is seeing a show this week, give lots. We need to make up a lot of lost days for BC/EFA. Thanks in advance for being so generous, as I know you all will be.
I killed the boss, you don't think they're gonna fire me over a thing like that!!!!
I don't even live anywhere close to NYC and I practically started crying when I found out that the strike was over. I guess this just proves how much Broadway has an effect on me.
