They say bad dress means a good opening. If that’s true, tonight’s performance of Bye Bye Birdie will tear down the house.
Bye Bye Birdie had a LOT of trouble at last night’s dress rehearsal when the electronically controlled set wouldn’t move off the stage for a full 20 min.
John Stamos, who’s playing Albert in the production, filled the time by calling out to audience members Don Rickles and Bob Saget. The former came up on stage and spoke through the mic rigged to Stamos’ forehead, saying, “I’m really glad your crotch is not miked.” Gina Gershon also came out and obliged the request to “do something from Showgirls” by performing the staple “jazz hands to the face” move.
Gotta love when things go wrong in live theater.
Be sure to send your love and “break a leg” wishes to the cast and crew!
