Okay, so in another forum thread someone mentioned saying lines in the car and getting some interesting reactions from fellow commuters. This reminded me of the time I was belting out one of my songs from a show while sat at the lights waiting for a train to pass, completely oblivious to the fact that my window was wide open. The applause that greeted me as my voice faded from the big finish note kind of jarred me back into reality and the girls in the car next to me disolved into fits of giggles as I sheepishly looked to my right and said thank you.

I'm sure we've all had moments like this - where something theatre related has lead to an "amusing anecdote" while on the road to or from the theatre. I thought it would be nice to share these little stories with each other - I'm sure we can all relate :)

A few years back, the Ringling Brothers, Barnum and Bailey Circus coming to town! I was so excited I rushed right out and bought front row tickets for me and 3 of my best pals. The day came and there we were- front row, center ring! The clowns came out, the acrobats, the horses.... on and on.... the elephants were the last ones out, Jumbo, Coco, Dumbo, Bosco and Ted! They circled the ring once and then the trainer backed them into the place they would stand for most of the greatest show on earth.... right in front of me and all my pals. So for an hour all we saw was big fat elephant butt.... and.... Coco had gas. You never know what's comin' for you.
