My smart fellow collectors got George Hamilton when he first came to town for the play La Cage Aux Folle. And they also got his autograph when George Hamilton showed up an hour before the play.
Me – not so much. For one reason or another I waited until after the second to the last showing.
While I ended waiting longer I also got to see more. After the show many people were escorted inside for a meet and greet. Since my name wasn’t on a list I got to stand outside and watch several actors from the show entertain friends and each other in dresses. I must admit they looked very pretty as women. Truly the only thing that made me think they were men was the falsetto voices and the height of 6’6” with heels. These guys were done for the night and were ready to party on the town. They had freshen their makeup and changed for a fun night.
As the rest of the cast left for bed or other excursions they chatted with tall cross dressers. Bon mots and teasing jibes were thrown that made me laugh even as I knew I shouldn’t. It seemed to be a crew that enjoys their own company.
