| I've been going to shows since the early 70s, and there have always been lines at the ladies rooms. The lines at the men's rooms are more recent. I suspect that may reflect the prostates of an older male audience. The theatres that have expanded their restrooms are a pleasure. I have had some wonderful conversations on bathroom lines, which is the upside. I heard about Laurette Taylor and original Tennessee Williams productions and Pal Joey and Rogers and Hammerstein premieres. And then, later, I got to be the older person talking about seeing Meryl Streep on stage and the original Chorus Line and Merrily We Roll Along. |

| At the 100 birthday celebration for Noel Coward at Carnegie Hall I found myself standing in line to the men's room directly behind Edward Albee. Albee had been a hero of mine since early youth. I had always imagined that one day I would get to meet him. Well, there I was standing right there and suddenly I was a tongue-tied 12=year-old. I didn't want to say something too embarrassingly fawning or something just plain stupid. Finally, after the line didn't move and didn't move and didn't move I said to Albee "I forget why I'm standing in this line." Albee turned slowly to me and with a dead pan expression said: "I wish I could." | |
