Overheard at Angus: Volume II
There I am, enjoying my burger when I hear this from two folks discussing the biz at the bar:
Broadway Guy #2: Oh sure, to succeed in this business you have to work on several things at once. Especially in this economy.
Broadway Guy #1: I hear you. Wasn’t it Cy Coleman that used to say that working in the biz was like gardening . . . you have to plant a lot of seeds because you never know when they’re going to sprout.
Broadway Guy #2: Yeah, I’ve heard that. But I think working in this business is more like juggling. You gotta have a lot of balls in the air.
Broadway Guy #1: Yeah. And the person with the most balls wins.
Only at Angus, kids, only at Angus.
Speaking of balls, I’ve got a discount to Blithe Spirit for you (that segue made no sense, by the way, so don’t even try to figure it out). Blithe is in a big Broadway house, but the best seats are on the floor so I’m telling everyone to get your tickets with this deal asap, before the good ones are gone. You want to be as close as you can get. Angela Lansbury has four . . . count ’em, four Tony Awards. Blithe is a chance to see one of our most magnificent actresses live on stage. These opportunities don’t come around often. (Are you all starting to understand why I signed on Produce this one?)
Do you know who won five Tony Awards? Comment below!
And email me if you want the Producer discount to Blithe.
