Congrats to
ZACH on the new Topfer Theatre. Warren and I had the pleasure of attending one of the gala opening events last week. Herewith, pics from our oo-la-la experience.
XANADU closes this weekend after an extended run-- it is HILARIOUS! For more scheduling info you can
go right here.

Clang clang clang went the trolley! I parked at Zilker and took this stylin' machine over to the new theatre. |
|
OMG-- look at this place. Are we really in Austin? Pinch me, baby! |
|
Warren steps out onto the red carpet. This being Austin, the red carpet at ZACH is blue. |
|
Rain, schmain. There were lots of tents set up so we could listen to the rain and stay dry. Decor included a massive lanyard. |
|
Play with your food! |
|
Not what you think. Chicken and waffles. |
|
Warren went for the Healthy Choices option. |
|
Oo-la-la monsieur! Inside the theatre. |
|
Life is but a... |
|
This new place is so swank it has its own special cocktail. Which gets me wondering-- what if every theater in town had its own cocktail? I'm talking to you, Ken Webster! |
|
Extremely cool art made from soda cans I think. |
|
Self-portrait in lovely loo. |
|
Damn, girl! Even the porcelain thrones are spiffy. |
|
Balcony view. |
|
Warren acts casual in hopes of being discovered by Dave Steakley and cast in CATS. |
|
Warren tries to push his way into the early show (we had tickets for the late show). He cleverly uses this moment as a chance to show off his calves, just in case Dave Steakley walks by and decides to cast him in... uh, what's a show that involves amazing calves? Ah, I know: Beauty and the Calves. |
|
We weren't allowed to take pics of the performance, but here's the new stage. It is a really super groovy space. |
|
And now, at last, I can reveal the truth behind ZACH'S new Topfer Theatre. Here, Dave Steakley and I re-enact how it all began. Years ago, he made a wish and yes, it's true, I granted it. You're welcome, Dave! Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy! |
