Poor Sally, the night a friend attended that show, a woman seated near the stage was heard to say rather loudly when only Sally and Rita were on," Boy, did she get fat!" Sally heard the remark and shot the woman a glance that could kill.

I feel kinda specialMy character is the only one who hasn't been mentioned. We're doing the female version at my high school and I get to play Florence!! My older sister is also in the play and she is playing Renee. It's so weird seeing all these posts of people who have starred in the play!

I was Olive in a little duet acting thing at my school last year. It was GREAT! My friend and I did the "linguini scene," as we all came to know it by. I've seen the male version, never the female version, just that scene. The female version was being done at our local theatre, but I thought that both versions are great.

That would be great if they did the female version on film!
I recently saw both versions at my college and I definitely liked the female version better. Maybe it was just that the chemistry between the women was better, or that I identified with a bunch of women more than a group of men, or that it was better acted. It was very similar to the male version but the humor was better and I liked the characters more, even though they're the same. Also, the Spanish brothers did a lot more than the Pidgeon sisters, who just sat and giggled and cried. -

I'm in the play right now as Manolo, for city theater. To be honest with you, I prefer Jack Lemmon's Felix to Nancy's (the woman playing Florence in the production) Florence, because Lemmon acts the role in a way that doesn't drive you crazy. For some reason, I don't know why Nancy reads Florence so irateI guess it really depends on the actor/actress on which one you like more.

I played Olive back in November, and all i have to say is to not hold back, yell at flo, and flirt as much as possible with manolo and jesus!! Biting your bottom lip helped for me, especially because i couldn't make it through that scene without laughing. But most of all, HAVE AS MUH FUN AS YOU CAN.
Everyone I know has a big "but." Come on, Simone, let's talk about your big "but." -

It's really cool seeing so many people that presumably share simmilar intimate feelings for this play.
I played Manolo in 1999 in my school theatre in Midland TX. It was a unique experience! Even now after 8 years I cannot forget it! I want to thank Ms. Chambers for casting me in.
I am Romanian and I was in the US on a scholarship - so my accent was really Transylvano- Castillian.
Wow - great memories!

omg, i was Florence in my high school's performance this past fall. It was so much fun!!!!!! we did it in the round, and the set/ cast/ crew was amazing!!! my favorite Flo scene was with the spanish boys. I dont know how i kept a straight face because the guys were hysterical!
Students and teachers have said it was the best show my school has EVER put on, and i credit that to the outstanding script!!!

It's instantly dated by having them play Trivial Pursuit. Poker is eternal.
Besides, Annie Duke or Meg Tilly would argue with you about women's ability to play poker.
If I ever directed the show, I'd find a way to sneak some of the lines from the second version into the first, but on the whole, the first one is sharper I miss lines like "You're the only man in the world with clenched hair."
