These 'groupie typies' seem to be the ones who seem to purposely buy the partial view tickets which is the first row from the stage in the centre orchestra. I've noticed it becoming more and more common at each performance I've seen (the latest being last week) and now they often cover parts of the first couple of rows in the centre orchestra. Actually it's a pretty pathetic sight when you think about it; do they really think they have a chance with any of the performers or that any of the performers, even if they did notice them (which I seriouly doubt as they are professional actors and totally focused within their character and in the momemt), would want to involve theirselves with the blatant image or connotation that these persons convey. I almost expect at any performance now for one of them to throw a piece of paper on stage with their telephone number on it, but, then again, maybe they already have. I agree with you that Jeff Madden's singing is absolutely spectacular and so pure; it seems to flow so effortlessly from tenor to falsetto and back, although I suspect it isn't. The entire cast performs with such flawless perfection and the show is a joy to watch again and again. I have purposely avoided eating at Moxie's as I read the reviews of this restaurant and none of them were favourable. I've really enjoyed dining at the Keg and particularly at Mezza Notte. The food has always been great; the staff very helpful and friendly and the service pretty quick, especially at Mezza Notte.

My friend had a bloody stump of a steak come out to her, and they couldn't care less. The manager looked as her as though she couldn't believe she was complaining and then just offered her a free dessert. We won't go back there again if you had the same thing happen to you since it appears it was not a one time thing. it was the only moxies we had ever been to. guess we will stick to the outback or whatever from now on. :( I had a similar experience at that same place not too long ago, and I know exactly what manager you mean.
