#playbills

-

So, I actually got to see another one of my friends this time - @howlingdemon13! They were dressed as their clonesona and I won't lie... I almost didn't recognize their voice for a moment. Even though I have talked to them before! 😭

They came over to say hi to me before the show started! I only wish that I had spent more time with them... but sadly I did not hang around during stage door again. As much as I wanted to, I ended up getting a horrible headache after the show...

The cast has shifted around since last year, but they have been absolutely amazing! I have yet to acquaint myself with some of the newer members of the cast, but I believe when I went to see the musical again with my mom, all of the principal cast members were there! I'm so happy I got to see Justin again, and I finally got to see Megan McGinnis! I love the way she plays Barbara! It gave me a little bit of Kerry Butler energy and was a very nice contrast to Will's Adam-

OH OH Justin made a joke about St. Patrick's Day during the show!!! He referenced how a good handful of the audience that came to see the show that day were all dressed in green, because of the parade that was happening in the city! I cannot remember it verbatim... but he said something along the lines of how everyone is getting "so drunk you'd think they were already in hell". This happened right before he leaves the Maitlands, and after going through Fright of our Lives.

In terms of things I got, it appears that I have not been freed from the Beetletax just yet... as I actually learned a few months prior that they had restocked the vinyls for the soundtrack, and I knew that I wanted to get my hands on them... (Apparently they were also online...? Unfortunately... they had already been sold out before I even knew about them.)

I don't have a record player... but I'm a huge sucker for the deigns of albums and the contents within them. At the moment I have two copies for display/collectors purposes-

Aside from that, I did get some Playbills and a couple more streamers! I also got a couple more mini flyers a week prior, but they're essentially the same as my Nederlander ones (the main difference can actually be found in the back... where I forgot to scan - they've updated the images to better reflect the current cast members).

I should note that I got this signed Playbill by donating to charity, instead of going to the stage door! The Tour were offering signed Playbills and posters in exchange for a donation to BCEFA! I was really grateful because I still wanted to get a signed Playbill for this show! Unfortunately... this means cannot do a proper breakdown of the signatures, but I can obviously vouch that this is legit-

OH, ONE MORE THING-

I did bring my Beetlejuice plush to the show! I would share some images, but... they mostly include me in it, which I'm not comfortable with sharing...
