Powered by LiveJournal.com Suddenly Last Summer...mood: ecstaticI'm just adding my thoughts in this entry because I can.
First of all? 21 comments? I get home and I have 21 comments on this initial post. Awesome. *waves hello to flist and people who just ran over here for some Gale news!!!*
I didn't get to meet Gale, Randy, or Scotty. Well, I've met those last two on different occasions so it was no big deal. I had a train to catch and I really needed to get going, so I didn't stay after. I'm hoping that someone around here got to meet him though. I want a full report!
Let's start from the beginning. I spent all of last night freaking out. I couldn't sleep. No sleep I tell you. I just kept tossing and turning and thinking. It's always the thinking that gets ya. Anyway, I spent all day in the same freak-out mode. When I was driving to the train station, I got a lovely little message from sarahj2222. I started screaming...just a little bit. "OH MY GOD I'M GOING TO SEE GALE HAROLD!!!" Kinda like that. In the train, couldn't stop smiling. My stomach was all over the place but the smile stayed on my face.
Then I got to the city, grabbed some dinner, and made my way to the theater. I saw a couple of familiar faces (*waves hello to the HORS*) and kept my eyes peeled for people of interest. Those people of interest. I kept looking around, wondering if anyone from Gale's family was there. Could be but I re***y have no idea. The play started at 7:40 and a few minutes before, I saw Scott Lowell...followed by Randypants. I didn't know what to do. I wanted to squee like you have no idea, but I refrained. Instead I just squirmed in my seat like a crazy person. How sweet is it that they came to see Gale? And they came together!!! It's just...guh.
Anyway, the play began and Gale is on stage within seconds. He's beautiful. The man is beautiful. And I like the hair! And he was wearing a white suit and he was looking t*** and fabulous. The acting was fine, but it needs improvement. He felt kind of wooden, but I think he got better as the play progressed. There's nothing like seeing Gale Harold yell at Blythe freaking Danner. But yes, he could have been better. And I realize that it is the first night of previews, so he has plenty of time to work on it. So does everyone else!
The one person who had the power to make me look away from Gale was Carla Gugino. I think she did a great job as Catherine. She was tot***y "there" in every sense of the word. Honestly, she deserves an award for not dropping to her knees in front of Gale.
I don't know what else to say. I haven't checked the comments yet, but hopefully I addressed some of the questions you had. If not, just ask and I'll try to elaborate as much as possible.
I SAW GALE HAROLD
Ahem.
ETA: I forgot to mention that when Gale was walking off the stage after the curtain c***, he tot***y pushed Blythe Danner. He put his hands on her shoulders and playfully shoved her...I don't know. It was adorable and therefore, worth mentioning.
