This is the guy who played the role of the Phantom for the longest in the show's history. He and a pianst are touring around and they did a community concert here. So play practice got cut REAL short when us (in the freakin Theater dept.) caught wind of the excitement. He sang a bunch of songs, alot of showtunes (stuff from Chicago, Give my Regards to Broadway, etc) and of course two songs from Phantom of the Opera. This is "Music of the Night", so so pretty. It's exciting the big things that can happen in a little town. He had Chuck (the piano player) do a little solo, and was like "Hold on, I want to be in the audience for this". So he came and sat down next to me (I knew everyone back in the booth would be soo jealous...it made me laugh) and the convo went like this:
he whispered "How's it goin?"
I whispered back "great. Nice work"
he said "thanks"
and that's all. It was funny. All of us Thespians got to talk to him afterwards for a while, ask questions and the like. In conclusion, though I wasn't ready to piss my pants like the rest of the people surrounding me, it was still a pretty fun experience to have thrown on you by suprise. Drawback: I missed watching Real World w/ a certain someone. Sorry you.
