9 to 5: The Musical (Broadway)June 10, 2009 MatineeSo... I woke up extra early today but I still managed to be late meeting
decipherated and
unlimited at the Wicked lotto (but not too late to enter and lose). Ended up lottoing 9 to 5 and all three of us won (our names were actually all called in order too, lol) but only Courtney and I went. Justin Patterson was on for Dwayne/Detective and JLP was on for Maria.

The show started about five minutes later than it usually does start so we were anxious to see if there'd be any technical difficulties since this past weekend had the epic no-lift performance.
Act one went pretty smoothly. Allison was extra funny today and even had Marc Kudisch cracking up during her dream sequence in which he couldn't even finish his lines. He was laughing as he fell into the pit in the floor. Also, Allison seemed to get tangled in the huge sheet (whatever you want to call it) before Megan and Stephanie joined her for Joy to the Girls. In the hospital scene she got so flustered with the Detective that she said flubbed a line which I now can't remember off the top of my head... JLP's delivery of Maria's lines was really odd. Her accent wasn't exactly what it should have been - especially in her first big scene ("i need to go back to the stone ages... and use white out").
( Epic set fail #1 and #2 behind the cut...Collapse )Other than the problems, the cast did great overall. Megan, Allison and Stephanie sounded great. I'm glad I finally got to witness an epic set fail like this - it was definitely extremely amusing. Cast recording being released July 14! Hooray!
