(Routine for the show, we were assured....). Just like the green room which was no more impressive than your granny's basement - cheap green pile carpet, cinderblock walls....and seperate from the green room for the "Stars" of the show....But at least we had peace.....No hassles whatsoever.
The important lesson here is that NOTHING is what it seems on the surface. It was a nice time, and a good paycheck, but to aspire for that type of life and "career" is not something I would recommend. |
Have they moved the show from the Ed Sullivan Theater? The Brooklyn Philharmonic was on the show a few times. We always entered and exited on West 53rd Street, across from the Broadway Theater stage door. It was as cold as a meat locker in the theater. We played the William Tell Overture with no warm-up. Brrrrrrrrr.
