Jeffrey Donovan needs to do more comedy

[switch842]

Just got back from "Don't Dress for Dinner" and, as I guessed, it was FABULOUS! So funny, so well acted. Just an amazing time. And given that it was the very first night in front of an audience, I'd say it went very well. There was one point, though, when Jeffrey almost lost it on stage. One of the other actresses is just acting completely outrageous. COMPLETELY. And it is so funny. He couldn't look at her. You could see him biting his lip just trying to keep it in. Hehe. Oh, speaking of, FRONT ROW. And, yeah, the stage? Like a foot away. So Jeffrey was about a foot and a half away? So great. He's so adorable. I had wanted to try and maybe hang out by the stage door after for maybe auto/pic time, but 1) hubby has kind of a nasty cold and he was starting to get rundown and 2) couldn't find where the darn thing was, anyway! LOL

In conclusion, if you are in the Chicago area or plan on being in the Chicago area in the next two months or so, GO SEE IT! You will not be disappointed. I might have to go back....

And now off to bed to rest up for the boys!! Yay!!!

So glad you had a fantastic time. I wish they would videotape stuff like this and post it on the web, I'd kill to be able to see some of the plays and stuff that different actors get involved in. (hello Patrick Stewart + Shakespeare = melting!). Have fun with the SPN this weekend and then next up will be TEH HEWLETT!!! *SQUEE*

I've been calling David TEH HEWLETT so much that Ry is beginning to do it. *smirk*

TEH HEWLETT!!!

I'm preparing myself this weekend for all the "Where's Erin??" questions. I know I'll get some. People seem to think we only come together. Is that bad?

I wasn't aware that SPN had such a crossover of our usual crowd until I saw all the posts on my f-list's about folks that are gonna be at the SPN con this weekend. Just tell them all that you have yet to bribe me into watching SPN and that it's on the list, right after Dr. Who.

People seem to think we only come together. Is that bad?

Depends on how bad it is that people seem to think that you come paired with me? I mean as a pair can we charge more? Like 59.99 and you too can own your very own KerriErin doll set!!! ;-)

Hey it's early and I haven't had my quota of Mt. Dew for the day. Text me and tell me all about how cool your day is! I need distractions from all my f'n papers. Ugh.

Nice! I like it!! But I think we can get away with charging more! ;-)

switch842, it's "philippa connors" (from USA Network's Burn Notice message baord) - this was a great review! would it be okay if I posted it over on the "Don't Dress for Dinner" thread? Thanks again for stopping by to tell us about it! I'm so glad you got to see him and that he was wonderful in it. As I mentioned over on the forum, I read the play recently and thought it was hilarious and right up Jeffrey Donovan's acting alley. Hope your hubby is feeling better!

I'm just interested to know -- how long is the play from start to finish?

I'm going to be heading to Chicago on New Years Eve to cover the NHL Winter Classic, and I'm trying to schedule enough time that I might be able to sneak away for a few hours and head over to the Royal George Theater.

Can you drop me a message and let me know?

It's about 2 1/2 hours with the intermission. It's a good length.
