Christopher Plummer and Brian Dennehy are appearing on Broadway in "Inherit the Wind," the classic courtroom drama of the "monkey trial" about whether teaching evolution should be allowed in schools. It originally took place in the 20's or 30's and it's become apropos for our time again.

In a brilliant bit of marketing, the producers have offered seats in the jury boxes to paying audience members. I'll be one of them tonight, as will a few friends.

So, instead of having to pay extras to play the jury members night after night, the producers will have audience members pay them for the privilege of appearing on the Broadway stage. How's that for cleverness?

We have to get their early, leave our belongings in a locker, and we won't be given a Playbill. We can't leave to use the facilities, either. I suspect for most of the show we will be seated in darkness, but I don't know for sure.

I do know that we'll have a truncated vision of the show, that is, we'll see the stars from the back or from the side for most of the time. No matter, I'm looking forward to this unique experience. I'll let you know how it goes.

Maggers, how exciting! If the stage version is anywhere near as wonderful as the classic Spencer Tracy film, I bet you'll have a great time.

Break a leg!

Break a leg!

What a unique opportunity to see a show. I'd be watching the audience as much as I'd be watching the play.

Enjoy!

You and Christopher Plummer and Brian Dennehy?! Wow, That's wonderful! Break a leg, Maggers!

A new star is born!

Sounds like a great time!!!

Break a leg!

Yeah, that's it! Break a leg while you're sitting there on your butt!

You know that's what you're supposed to say - like saying "bless you" when someone sneezes. At least Maggers isn't going to be in "The Scottish Play" ... then we couldn't say anything at all! :eek:

Well, I will tell you, Webby. At the B&N Lincoln Triangle store Talent Show two Fridays ago (3/23) we had a octupus-like thing from some weird and faraway and probably fucked-up planet take the stage. Just before it went on, I knocked on its helmet to wish it luck. "Break a leg, Eight-Cat!" "Thank you, Terran! But on my world, we say "twist a tentacle." "Whatever, man--knock 'em dead!" You think you've seen tap dancing? You have not. Not like Eight-Cat can do it! And I hadda go on next...
