At least, that is what happened in my audience, and there were only 20 people sitting there on the weekday matinee. I can't wait to see it on a Friday evening!Elizabeth Pratahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04341086233512507156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32297797.post-50209921748334685482008-04-25T03:47:00.000-04:002008-04-25T03:47:00.000-04:00I wanted to go and see this but figured I would ge...I wanted to go and see this but figured I would get fired up to the point of bothering other folks in the audience.
