Re: This is gonna cost me
Gentlemen Prefer Blondes.....had to get into this one, a girl from work said, YOU HAVE TO, it'll be FUN.
She was blonde and hot. This was in South Alabama, so you know they had a lot of young blondes to
choose from. There must have been 20 in this show. I played a real FOP, and you can see how bad it was,
the guy in this photo is as straight as me, but a better actor, lol.
Second seris is from Dracula, I played Von Helsing, onstage the whole show except for a 1.5 page quick change.
Brutal show, but my best role ever. I showed up late to the tryouts and the director had stated
unequivocally that there we would NOT be doing accents in the Dracula part. So of course, I get up and read
in a crackerjack Bela Lugosi....GREAT, but totally F'ed up. Always come on time, lol. Tried out for the lead,
but I was not handsome and slim like Drac had to be, found out that I DID get the lead, and it was V.H, lol.
Forgive me, I just shot these pics with a camera on my keyboard in dim light, but they are plenty scary no matter.
Want BAD LUCK?? We had to have Dracula break a mirror every night, in an effort to have me NOT see that I could
not see him in the mirror. He would shoot a flash paper shot out of his sleeve and the mirror would be broken back
stage with a large pointed steel bolt On this night, he made his flourish, fire shot out and then nothing for 10 secs.....
Then crack. The audience BUSTED out laughing, as we both stood there as if to say "WAIT for IT!"
