What's Hot From Spamalot 3/20

What's hot from Spamalot you ask...well, lots and lots of great pictures of Clay!!

First though, due to high winds, Clay did not get to come out the stage door and sign autographs on Thursday night. Hopefully the winds will die down before Friday night.

Now, for some great pictures from the last few days.

• Here's a stage door report that will absolutely leave you in stitches. Its from Okclayhoman at The Clayboard:

  Stage door report from tonight..
  
  Friend soonercindy called me........Clay came out tonight in cream colored basketball type pants and a more random university navy blue sweatshirt......he was happy and relaxed and the crowd was huge and at least 8 deep..maybe more......our friend Susie got her playbill signed and Clay used her head to balance another playbill.......Clay said he hoped she didn't mind having his armpit in her face LOLOLOL.......Rick and Tom and Hannah were also out signing autographs and they all mentioned how wonderfully energetic and enthusiastic tonights crowd was......... sounds like another great e vening and a sold out show!!!!

• From Clayngel:

  It was pouring when I got to the theater and the lines to get in were huge! There were also lots of school groups and tour groups and busses letting people out in front of the theater, so lots and lots of NJUs got to experience our guy tonight!
  
  I was in the front row of on the right side and sitting next to a very nice woman from PA who I met at the Neil Sedaka show in Oct. We talked before the show and at intermission. One of her friends were celebrating her Birthday and had front row center seats!
  
  The audience was very enthusiastic tonight and the entire cast was feeding off of the energy. I just wish David Hibbard had been there because his understudy wasn't as good.
  
  Clay didn't really get a response when he came out of the tower in the first scene, but when he came out dressed as Sir Robin before "All For One' he got a lot of applause.
  
  Being off to the side a bit I was able to see Clay's facial expressions and reactions during the French Taunter scene when his back is to the center and he is just so adorable. He acts just as much as if he was the star of that scene even though not many people can see what he's doing. That's a sign of a really great actor!
  
  The drunken guard scene, as Austen said, was hysterical tonight! One of the best I've seen. (Again, just wish David had been the other guard) Chris and Clay play off of each other so well and their timing is perfect. I hope Chris' replacement does as well because I would hate for the scene to lose anything. The audience could not breathe, everyone was laughing so hard!
  
  Clay really hammed up YWSOB and the Brother Maynard scene and the crowd ate it up. Just amazing! I think he got the loudest ovation at the end, but during the curtain call he sort of pointed to Hannah as to indicate she was the "winner" of the applause contest. But he probably wouldn't admit his was loudest anyway.
  
  I didn't rush to the stage door after the show because I thought it would still be raining. *kicks self* Of course it had stopped and was actually pretty nice out, so I was behind a couple of people, but still able to get my MOAM signed. It was a little crazy out there though because Clay took a while to come out and in the mean time Rick, then Tom had already come to sign and then Hannah followed closely after Clay! So there was a lot going on!!
  
  I hope tomorrow's audience has as much energy as tonight's because it was a really fun show!
