The Diary of a Mad Fan

~* A toast to a little over two years...October 1997 to January 2, 2000...times of laughter and tears and music and love. A toast to making a difference...to helping keep a show alive...to going again and again (and again...and again...and again...) just because. To the Minskoff and the Neil Simon, to Houston and Dallas and Atlanta. To Kirby's first SP weekend, to the first flower toss, to the last flower toss. To Amy Gargan's badges, to Mom's cupcakes. To Sam's, to the Broadway Grille...to BARRYMORE'S the Official League hangout! To Strut the Rooster. To the Today Show and the Expensive But Worth It Entourage! To the Comatose Spot. To the Frequent Fliers (woo hoo!) To Bastille Day! To "Great Fun!" To the chandeliers. To "Door Five! Door Five!" To BROADWAY CARES/EQUITY FIGHTS AIDS and the THOUSANDS of dollars we've raised. To the, um, auction. To windtunneling as a sport. To Lucy. To Griffin. To mistletoe (or parsley, it depends on the year). To Pimpernelisms! (shameless plug) To the friends and families of cast members who waited patiently and proudly for their loved ones to talk to us. To Jessica Phillips' father-in-law who took pictures of people because they wanted Jessica's autograph. To Mrs. Kudisch who told me and Mom to auction Marc. To corsets and frou frou and wax heads and playing cards and brandy or sherry or the Liquor of the Month and silly hats and black masks and canes and scarves and those awful heels. To Adam Pelty, Allen Fitzpatrick, Bill Evans, Ed Dixon et. al. and the infamous Game of Hazzard. To when Grappin's identity was a surprise. To when Madame St. Cyr had lines (otherwise known as ancient history) To Marguerite in the sword fight. To Farleigh's dreadful collar and Elton's butterfly net. To David Cromwell. To Jim Hindman and faaaaaaaabric. To Stephen Hope and the One Man Version of Scarlet Pimpernel. To James Judy. To Liz and Ken. To Sandy Rosenberg and Pamela Burrell. To Katie's "I'll Forget You" tears. No one ever COULD close the jail door like Bennyhoff, now could they?! To T. To Michael Halling and his two appearances as Stunt Doug. To Doug Storm...may the Force be with you. To Douglas' eyebrows, Ron's smile, Bryan's zaniness, George's COM hip throw, Terry Mann and the eighteen million times Douglas made him walk off stage, Marc caressing the guillotine, Rex's "papers, documents...Pimpys!" Mark McGrath and just how awesome he is, Christine's classiness, Rachel's fire, Carolee's "take me home", Jessica's extreme coolness, Danny Gurwin and "this slaughter!" -clawing hands- To Terry Richmond, because she is a true goddess. To Harvey Evans for being him. To Russell Garrett for showing off his Froot Loops with pride. To James Dybas who thanked us for "taking this journey of the Scarlet Pimpernel with us and making it so full of love". To Douglas' pre-recorded Voice of God; to Ron's end of COM pose...to Douglas' walk in that gorgeous white light; to Ron in the box.

To Friendship. To all the friends I have made over this time, my life would not be the same without you.

To Frank Wildhorn. To the producers, directors, musicians, tech crew, dressers (especially Jennifer, she went to Hell and back) and everyone! To Ron Melrose.
To Nan Knighton: who fought for this show and loved us for loving it.
To every person who ever graced the stage in the Scarlet Pimpernel: from the bottom of our hearts, thank you.
To Gilles Chaisson, James Bohanek, Kirk McDonald and Billy Sharpe.
To Christine Andreas, Rachel York, Carolee Carmello and Amy Bodnar.
To Terrence Mann, Rex Smith, Marc Kudisch and William Paul Michals.
To Douglas Sills, Ron Bohmer and Robert Patteri.
To the League of the Scarlet Pimpernel..."...and for the members of that gallant League of the Scarlet Pimpernel there was no such word as 'disobedience' and no such word as 'fail'." --Baroness Orczy, "Lord Tony's Wife". To Baroness Orczy! To Sir Percy! TO THE TOUR!! TO THE SCARLET PIMPERNEL!

With Love.....Kel
