Uncle Jesse Saves The Show!!!
Filed under: John Stamos > Broadway Babies
One of the joys (and troubles) with live theater is that you never quite know whats going to happen.
Last night was the final preview performance of Broadways' Bye, Bye Birdie, starring Full House alum John Stamos. Just as the cast was about to go into a rousing performance of Put on a Happy Face, an "electronically controlled set failed to clear during a scene change" and the show was put on hold for almost 20 minutes.
Always the charmer, John decided to entertain the audience while they waited, pulling up other celebrities to join him on stage to tell jokes and keep everyone happy. One of his esteemed guests was the legendary Don Rickles, who heckled John from his seat by screaming “Are they gonna fix it or is this going to be a weekend?”
Then it was time to get the family together as John dragged fellow Full House resident Bob Saget onstage to banter with him. Danny Tanner Bob was forced to speak into John's forehead, where he was miked and rejoiced that it wasn't John's crotch instead. They even brought out John's Bye Bye Birdie costar Gina Gershon and got her to a little something from Showgirls! (Relax, she feathered her hands…whoopee!)
Finally, after 20 minutes, the show was ready to continue and ran without anymore problems. Let's hope the same will be said about the show's opening tonight.
In our opinion though, we would much rather see John Stamos wing it for 20 minutes than Bye Bye Birdie. Maybe they can incorporate that into the intermission!

COULD YOU PLEASE LEARN TO SPELL AND WRITE THE KING'S ENGLISH CORRECTLY?? I DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS YOU, MARIO OR YOUR SISTER - BUT EITHER WAY SOMEBODY NEEDS TO SPELL CHECK AND PROOF FOR CONTINUITY. IF YOU WOULD LIKE A GOOD EDITOR, DROP ME A LINE.
isn't bob saget like a complete ass or something? don't think many care for him……..
Re: Elilan – "IF YOU WOULD LIKE A GOOD EDITOR, DROP ME A LINE. "
If he wanted a good editor, he'd put down the pudding-pops and stop wanking to old episodes of "The Brady Bunch" long enough to actually do some work around here instead of dumping everything on his "differently-abled" mother while he's trying to get Slimy to return his calls.
what kind of gay, former NYU theater student are you - you don't like "Bye, Bye Birdie"?? blasphemous!
Re: cripbabe111 – I know, perez totally belong in LA. He's no New Yorker and has proved that way too many times
GOSH, THE YEARS HAVE DONE NOTHING TO THIS MAN, I'M 23 AND I WOULD SO RIDE HIS DISCO STICK!!!!
How many people are writing this piece. You reference "our" opinion.
And seriously: When it comes to musical theatre your opinion carries no weight.
What make you think anybody cares about your opinion in this situation?
he is soooooooooooooooo freaking hot!!!!
This story is a great example of how not to write. There are so many typos, instances of bad grammar and missing words, that it is truly awful, even by Perez's extremely low standards.
Re: Elilan – My Perezcious is only capable of speaking the queen's English.
fuckable
I read a story about Mark Hamil once when his co-star refused to come out b/c of some set problem. So he just started talking with the audience, "So…ya wanna know how a light saber works?…"
I think if you saw this face with no other prior info or info period, your first comment would be "gay face". But not for John, you will not critciize him as he "hooked" you up for Disneyland VIP passes so you had a lame excuse for not being in D.C. for the march. But then again you really were not invited/wanted by anyone including Gaga.
I heard he has GIANT wiener!
Re: ap076 – Good points - I believe it was stronger than that i.e. GLAAD and the organizers insisted that he not be there. Excommunicated by the gay community - how fitting.
Brenda (Perezilz's sister) you SUCK, Bye Bye Birdie rocks!
I don't know is it me or what?? I think he looks very thin! Why sooo skinny I was concerned while looking at this photo. NOT GOOD gain some weight scary. Hope all is well there?
Blackie Parrish is still so dreamy!!!!!!
