We saw the play, Cyrano De Bergerac on Friday night with my gal Jennifer Garner and Kevin Kline. The story of Cyrano is about a soulful poet/philosopher, brilliant swordsman and a cadet in the French Army (Kline) who falls for the beautiful, strong-willed Roxane (Garner), but is too ashamed of his large nose to tell her. Instead, when he learns that she loves the handsome Christian de Neuvillette, his dim-witted comrade, he pens poetry and love letters to Roxane on Christian’s behalf. After many years, the truth is revealed.
Anyways, the overall story was good somewhat rushed at times as well as hard to understand the big and verbose words and speeches but for the most part I liked it. Some of the words were definitely over my head though. LOL. So back to Jennie G…we were like 10 feet from her. She was pretty good and sometimes you could see her personality shine through which wasn’t the character but it was awesome to see her! Plus Kevin Kline was amazing in his role which made you forget he is Kevin Kline. We also got to see Casey Affleck in the audience as well after the show outside the theatre while we watched for Jennifer to come out. I was hoping to be up close and get her autograph but there were tons of people and it was a mod scene. I would also hoping to see Ben or Victor Garber from Alias. That would have been awesome – love him! =)
My husband had a great idea the night before the show. He suggested we get the candy, Razzles to bring to the play to have Jen sign them since they were a big part of the story in her movie 13 Going On 30. I didn’t think much about it until the night of the show and decided to go and look for Razzles. Do you know how hard it is to find Razzles in a pinch when you need them? Well I’ll tell you…I searched for 45 minutes in tons of stores before I met John to head to dinner/show. I finally gave up and I made one last ditch effort at the train station candy store, which I thought would be a loss since it’s a small counter in the train station. Anyways, there were the Razzles on the counter just taunting and laughing at me. I swear I could hear them say, “Duh, we’ve been here the whole time silly lady!” So I have my Razzles now and I think this is a good sign to have Jennie sign them. In all honesty I wanted her to sign one pack and the other pack I was going to give her with my business card on it. I think she would love a custom scrapbook of her daughter and for her family. This is my new mission for my business. I’m nuts but you can’t say I don’t have gumption! So nevertheless there was a mob outside the theatre after the show so I missed her and the Razzle exchange. The Razzles are now back in my apartment glearing at me. LOL!
So in a nutshell the show was great, Jennie rocked and radiated beauty and class like you see her do in magazines and on tv. And I will land her as a client someday for a scrapbook and if not you can’t say I didn’t try. My friends have been joking with me lately that I’m turning in to a Jennie G stalker but I call it ambitious & enterprising entrepreneurialism and according to Cyrano de Bergerac you need to have enormous panache to get ahead in life!
Until tomorrow,
P.S.- Make sure to keep an eye out here for announcements on my new store and public forum coming in November. I’m hoping to launch everything for National Digital Scrapbooking Day on November 3rd.
