Things have been quite quiet around here lately....Hmmm...I believe it's time for an update! A grand 'Addams Family' picture update!
The show has been going well, even though Nathan was out during Thanksgiving because of illness. Awww. Anyhoo. I read that the understudy was ok, but did in no way convey the energy Nathan would have. Well duh. Here are some new pics from the actual performance!

Hey guys! More 'Addams Family' stuff! This time I bring pics from the rehersals! The whole thing looks hilarious! I love the one where Nathan is looking at Bebe's boobs! Haha! Gomez is such a lover!
Also, I'm not sure if all of you have seen the 'Vanity Fair' photoshoot video but if not you can see it @my journal. It's worth watching!
Comments are love!

The Chicago Tribune had a small article and a nice picture of Nathan a couple of days ago. Quite sweet.

Ta-da! The first photo of the 'Addams Family' cast is finally here! Nathan looks especially fine! His suit reminds me of the one he wore for the Broadway production of 'Guys and Dolls'! The makeup is amusingly gory! I REALLY hope I manage to see this! Anyhoo. The picture will be published in December's issue of 'Vanity Fair' accompanied with an article! Woot woot!
Oh. Tickets for both Chicago and Broadway have also gone on sale on the Addams Family website!

Last night, Nathan attended the Third Annual Exploring of The Arts Benefit Gala which was organized by Tony and Susan Bennett and took place at Cipriani Wall Street in NY. I managed to come up with some pictures of the event for you, including one of his arrival. The moustache is a bit scary I have to say! I hope it's trimmed that way because of his upcoming appearance in 'The Addam's Family' and not because he finds it appealing!
Anyhoo, enjoy!

Well, after my small picture interlude I thought I'd add more vids from rare Nathan movies! Next up: 'The Boys Next Door'. Now, I know the movie deals with a sensitive subject and it has receive a lot of criticism - both negative and positive - but I think it's something worthy of watching. Nathan plays the role of Norman.
I haven't dealt with mentally challenged people myself, but I've shown the movie to a number of people who found it sweet and on target. Many find it offensive, and I'm not going to dispute their opinion. Anyhoo, here are some clips from the movie and I'd love to hear your comments.
INFO FROM WIKIPEDIA
Four mentally-challenged men share a house and are looked after by Jack their social worker. The four men try to make sense of a mixed-up world, dealing with everything from runaway rodents to helping Norman, who has a new girlfriend Jack's life with his wife is put on hold, and he feels it's time to let them go.
( Donuts?? )
In my opinion, it's a very sweet movie.

Back in 2001, when I was going through my Kenneth Branagh faze, I heard that Kenneth was going to direct a new play entitled 'The Play What I Wrote', which was a tribute to British comedians Morecambe and Wise. Since I was still in High School, I wasn't able to fly over and watch it. I wasn't even able to find pictures! :(
But I just found out that the play was then staged on Broadway! ("Oh! Broadvay! I must tell my birds!") One of the great parts of the play was that every night it featured a guest actor who did various silly things. And of course Nathan couldn't be missing from the lineup! After a swift search I was able to come up with a couple of pictures for you guys!
Caution: Lolage ahead!

I was wondering if anyone had any clips of the show Nathan was on, Encore! (Encore!)??? I have been hearing from others that it was a great show, really funny, but I can't seem to find any clips from the show...also since this is kind of a request (I guess) if anyone has any idea where I can see clips of the movie Jeffrey?!
Thanks a bunch!!!!!!

We've been encouraged to post anything (including nonsense) here...so I have some nonsense for you.
At my job I sit an listen to my mp3 player a lot which means that I have my playlist narrowed down to the stuff that doesn't drive me insane after zillions of listens. One of the things that plays is the Gutentag Hop-Clop from the film version of The Producers.
That song is a thing of beauty and a joy forever, but my FAVORITE PART is in the middle when Nathan gets hit in the head and says "Owow!!" It's funny on screen, but it's even FUNNIER when you just hear it with no picture. Slays me EVERY TIME! (sorry I don't have access to any of the fun sites, so I can't post a clip for you...but I'm sure someone can.)
Anyway, I say that we should all post our favorite Nathan Lane moments when we think of them. I'm sure I've got another gazillion. :D

A funny thing happened on the way to the Alan Rickman forum that I am a part of....I realized that it's rather odd that Nathan doesn't have a fan forum on the world wide web. So I've come up with an idea for all of us Nathan fans out there....why don't we start one?!?!?!?! Somewhere you can go to talk about everything that Nathan has been involved in or could be involved in, something like a community. So, who thinks that this could be a possibility in the near future?! I could set up the forum and if you want to be a moderator just ask, this could be a possibility....
So far this is what I have come up with...
http://nathanlane.proboards.com/index.cg
And as you can see, it needs some life. A forum of one is a lonely forum. And nothing against this site, it's great, but why have one page? Why not have an entire site?

Did you think 'Cats' was amusing? Having a bunch of people dressed as cats and jumping all over the place?? Well, imagine the same thing but with people dressed as frogs! Hilarity ensues! Add Aristophanes and Nathan Lane to the mix and you have a Broadway musical! I must have been in Jr. High the first time I saw the ancient Greek version of 'The Frogs' and have watched it countless of times since. But when I heard there was a musical version of it I thought 'What the what??' But the fact that Nathan starred in it peaked my interest! I just HAD to see it! Flying over to NY was impossible but actually finding the play proved to be easier! I've uploaded some clips for all to enjoy! Bare in mind that the clips are from the previews, starring Nathan Lane and Chris Kattan. Not Roger Bart. I haven't seen any clips with Roger but I presume he's much better than Kattan, who annoys me!
Here's some info on this Sondheim musical taken from Wikipedia
Dionysus, despairing of the quality of living dramatists, travels to Hades to bring George Bernard Shaw back from the dead. William Shakespeare competes with Shaw for the title of best playwright, which he wins. Dionysus chooses to bring Shakespeare back instead, thereby improving the world, and its political situation.
For some reason Photobucket has uploaded only the first 5 mins of each clip. Don't know why that happened :/

In the beginning of the '90's Nathan was part of a TV adaptation of Terrence McNally's 'The Last Mile'. With him were actors that worked with him later on, Bernadette Peters ('Sherry!'), Tony Goldwin ('The Boys Next Door') and Bill Irwin ('Waiting For Godot'). It's very short and I've uploaded all of it in two parts. So sit back and enjoy!

As I said yesterday , I will be posting clips from Nathan's rarer shows in order to uplift your spirits and motivate you guys to start posting! Today I think I'll share some clips from the TV adaptation of Neil Simon's play 'Laughter on the 23rd Floor'. Nathan stars as Max Prince, the star of an NBC TV show. With him are Dan Castellaneta (voice of Homer Simpson), Peri Gilpin (Roz on 'Frasier') and Victor Garber (Jack Bristow on 'Alias').
From Wikipedia
From Wikipedia
"Inspired by Simon's early career experience as a junior jokesmith (along with his brother Danny, Larry Gelbart, Mel Brooks, and Carl Reiner) for Your Show of Shows, the play focuses on Sid Caesar/Jackie Gleason-like Max Prince, the star of a weekly comedy-variety show circa 1953, and his staff, including Simon's alter-ego Lucas Brickman, who maintains a running commentary on the writing, fighting, and wacky antics which take place in the writers' room. At the plot's core is Max's ongoing battles with NBC executives who fear his humor is too sophisticated for Middle America."
It's thoroughly amusing! The writers are hilarious and Nathan is very comfortable playing the role of a neurotic, pill popping, alcohol addicted TV star! LOL! Some of the clips may show the supporting cast more, but they're worth watching!

Next up, "Merry Christmas George Bailey". This was an adaptation of "It's A Wonderful Life" and was broadcasted on TV in 1997. It features Sally Field, Bill Pullman, Penelope Ann Miller, Christian Slater and Martin Landau to name a few. Nathan narrates the role of Clarence, George Bailey's guardian angel.

It's quite obvious that there haven't been any substantial updates lately. I'm not surprised. Nathan has been in Godot and probably preparing fo the Addam's Family, so he hasn't made any appearances. I know that he was part of some sort of event which featured a number of prominent Broadway actors but I don't have much info on it. I had hoped he would make an appearance at the Tony's as a presenter but alas, the damn Tony organizers snubbed him! Anyhoo, I thought I'd add some clips to cheer people up from this lack of Nathan-ess! I'll be posting clips from each show as different entries to make things clear. So, here goes.
First off, some clips from his wonderful performance as the Cowardly Lion in 'The Wizard of Oz in Concert'. As one would expect, he steals the show!
