Before the show Ted Neeley was doing a ‘meet and greet’ but
Kurt and Larry were available and signed for us. Both were friendly and talked about how much
fun it was to do the tour and to see the movie on the big screen again after so
many years.
Alamo Draft House is a theater that serves meals. So we got
our tickets and sat and ordered a dinner. There was a short Q&A before the
movie which was informative. They talked about the cast, the director, filming
in Israel, and shared a few anecdotes.
Having never seen the movie on the big screen, I really
enjoy it. While the music is great, we
didn’t attempt to sing along. We contained
ourselves to tapping our feet or hands. Sadly,
some people didn’t realize how distracting their attempts at singing really are.
After the movie, we rushed out to get in line for Ted Neeley. From the fan interaction we saw before the show,
we knew his line would be slow. He is warm
and generous with his time. He has a calm about him and he tries to radiate
that peace to others. Obviously, he feels a sense of responsibility from having
been in this role.
After we were done, we talked about the movie among
ourselves. My perception changed slightly after hearing the actors talk about
their roles. Kurt comes off much sleazier
than I previously imagined. Larry’s performance
was way more over the top than I remember.
It’s needs to be noted that he was directed to do it that way.
Overall, it was a good night of entertainment and autographs.
