It is said that you get 15 minutes of fame.
What happens when that fame is not the fame you wanted? Can you get a refund, trade in, rebate or something like that?
About a month and a half ago, my friend Beka and I went out to see The Fantasticks.
It was a fun show, and as we were leaving the theater, we were set upon by media people – men with cameras and lights and microphones and such, asking questions about the show we had just seen.
They were from a new web site, that hadn’t launched yet – NWHYC.com (catchy name?) – and the both of us, being theatrically oriented, had no problem standing in front of them and pushing a few lines their way. They edited them heavily, obviously, so the transitions are not some effect of a space-time warp something or other.
Here’s the videos of us (if they don’t show up on my site, drop me a comment and I’ll link to another video mirror):

The $1,000,000 question really is: Are these videos specific to this show, or could they be applied to any show? You decide.
