Prod

This is the time on the blog where I get all misty eyed for the show that is about to go away. I have a few more things to post regarding References to Salvador Dali Make Me Hot, but most of the week will be a series of nags and prods to get those of you who haven't seen the show yet to come see the show.

Today I remind you how cool the set, costumes and lights are. It is quite beautiful isn't it. Remember just 5 shows left and then we are done. Thurday, Friday and Saturday at 8pm. And remember our 2 for 1 tickets to the Matinees on Saturday and Sunday 3pm. 1-800-494-TIXS or visit BoxOfficeTickets.com.

Review II: Electric Boogaloo

Scott McCormick as the Moon is a gem. When he croons his version of ‘Moon River’, ‘Fly Me to the Moon’ and ‘Blue Moon ‘in his snazzy white suit, you only wish he was smoking a Cuban cigar as well. Gabby (Gabriela Fernandez-Coffey) and Benito (Andrew Price) handle the hard drama skillfully - both completely engulfed in their characters and their depression. The cat and coyote portrayed by Yasmin Tuazon and Danny Gavigan respectively, are the "hot" part of References to Salvador Dali Make Me Hot, their back and forth sexual game play is some of the best comedic acting I have seen in a while. The Coyote, while trying to swoon the young feline, promises "all of her nine lives will have orgasms". Last but certainly not least is our amorous young friend Martin, (Cesar A. Guadamuz) who is just a prize. With work at Rorschach and last year’s Lunch and Spinning Into Butter, he has become an engaging young actor.

That is what Ronnie Ruff over at DC Theatre Review had to say about the cast if you want to read about the love he showed to the rest of the show, click here for the entire review.

And this was the note passed to us through our very much appreciated dramaturg from the playwright regarding our outstanding review in The Washington Post yesterday:

Dear Jacqueline,

Thank you so much for the wonderful review.
And I was already bummed that I couldn't see the production --now I'm twice as bummed! Please give the cast my sincerest congratulations. Also -- I saw the piece on youtube. That was great. Thanks for being my window into your production ...

hope our paths cross again.

Gallery of Images to Tide You Over

Well folks. If you are reading this and it is Monday I am on a jaunt with a certain someone to a certain somewhere. Let's just say there will be a bed, breakfast and Civil War re-enactors. I am placing a gallery of Rough Magic images for your enjoyment up here to distract you until I get back.

I continue to hear how much people are enjoying the show from all corners. One of the people who sells Rorschach ad space told me and I quote:

I haven't had that much fun at the theater since I saw Footloose on Broadway when I was 13.

Now, I know there are snobs in the theater world will turn their noses up at the idea of Footloose on Broadway being a bench mark. Her sincerity made me realize once again that you snobs need to step-off and examine your snobbery.

She told me she sent a blast email out to her friends and told them what a great time she had. That is the kind of audience response that puts asses in seats people! Which, by the way, is happening in a big way this weekend. Book your tickets early so you don't get shut out.

See you all when I get back from PA. And enjoy the sexy, sexy pictures.
