Dear Kevin,

I wanted to write a little feedback about the Governor's State University Show, this past month. I of course attended the show and I am still on "cloud-9" from the whole experience. First of all, I have been wanting to see Bea Arthur live, since I saw the first episode of Maude, when I was a young boy. Then, when I was a bit older, her performance on the Golden Girls, just took my breath away. I believe I was the only 5th grader who had a weekly passion to watch Golden Girls, as opposed to my friends and classmates would watch the A-Team, or The Simpsons. Bea's humor is certainly unique and her charm is unparalleled by no other. I cannot name many other celebrities who does what Bea Arthur does, and at her age. Yes its true, she did slip up once in her performance in Chicago, however, I have to give her credit, she did not falter once, not once, when the audio system was malfunctioning. She maintained her demeanor and continued with her stellar performance. She even had a moment to bring a bit of impromptu humor for the young girl who had to come out on stage and present Bea with a handheld microphone.

Throughout the performance I found myself hysterically laughing at ALL of her jokes. It was truly an unusual experience for me. I was either finding myself laughing uncontrollably, or I was on the verge of tears, due to the fact that I felt like a gitty-15-year-old-pubescent-girl swooning at a boy-band concert. It was indeed strange, I have met several notable celebrities in my life, but none have effected me the way Bea does.

There was a dark period in my life, where I was in turmoil with what I wanted to do. I found myself quitting a professional degree program to pursue something I was more happy with. However, there was a period of about 8 months, where I was out of school and jobless, and pretty much felt like a total looser. Believe it or not, I watched television twice a day during that time...8-9 AM and 10-11PM on Lifetime, just to watch Bea Arthur on Golden Girls. Watching her, was enough on certain days to make me feel better about myself, by giving me a few laughs. Fortunately, I have moved on in my career, but Bea made it a bit easier during tough times to be who I am.

I hope that God will allow Bea to continue bringing joy to our lives for as long as she is able to, but I am glad that I can now and forever say that I saw her live and the experience of it will remain with me forever. (PS: My cat, whose name is Bernice Frankel, watches Golden Girls with me every night!)

My friends know me as "obsessed" with Bea Arthur. I can't even explain why. My boyfriend even shares the same birthday with her. Clearly, I have issues. Obviously, I was excited for the show in University Park, IL. First, some background: I had seen her show at the Park West Theatre in Chicago in 2001. I had the great pleasure of meeting her after the show that day. I had the official 60th episode script of the of the "Golden Girls" handy and ready for her to sign. When I got the chance to talk to her, she grabbed the script out of my hand and said, "Where did you get this?" followed by "Oh, I remember this episode" (It was the episode where Rose writes the letter to Gorbachev). She flipped through it and then signed it. After hanging out a while, I soon realized that I was the last person standing in front of the trailor outside the theatre. She gave me that classic Bea look and uttered, "Did you want something?" I softly replied, "Could I please have a picture with you?" She said, "Come over here, honey." I had the picture taken and it now hangs in my office. I'll never forget it and I'll never forget that show. I knew that her show at Governer's State University would be the same script as the one I saw that day at the Park West. I was thrilled. My good friend joined me and we were merely three rows from the stage, right in front of her chair. Shortly after four o'clock, Bea emerged from the darkness decked in purple sequins, and the crowd reacted excitedly. (I love seeing her. I know that she is ancient and I know that shaking her hand is like touching death, but, I absolutely believe that she is one of the most talented, well-rounded, and generous individuals in show business. She is truly "old school," and is great about catering to her fans). The show started perfectly: lamb recipe, a few songs, and the funny story about her first audition ("...aw, fuck it!"). However, Bea was not as sharp as she had been in prior shows. Perhaps, it was the fact that she had not performed it in a month. But, she messed up the lyrics on four songs. During "Pirate Jenny," she stopped early on and asked Billy to restart the song. She tried again and forgot again. She had to ask a stagehand what the next lyric was. But, she was unable to hear him and decided to forget the song and move onto another. With other songs, she asked Billy to move ahead to another part and sometimes, she even replaced words. For example, in the song "It Never Was You," Bea sung, "somebody's nest" instead of "meadowlark's nest." Even during one of her stories, she had to ask Billy about a word that she normally used. She was discussing how she looked during a performance in her younger years and she stated that she "emoted...her _________heaved." She couldn't remember that she used the word "bottus." When she asked Billy, he gave her the line, but she could not hear him. Even the audience was chiming in with the correct word. But, she went on without it. Honestly, all of her fumbles made me feel uncomfortable for her. But, I also have to say that the sound system at that awful theatre gave her problems, as well. A stagehand came out and handed her this huge microphone that covered half of her face and she sharply said, "What is this?" "What am I supposed to do with this?" "You mean you all can't hear me without this?" I almost expected Bea to pound the crap out of that poor girl who brought her the microphone. Nevertheless, Bea's remarks were returned with laughter from the audience and I must say, THAT is what I love about Bea Arthur. Despite all of the problems with the show, she played them off and turned them into a laugh for the crowd. At the conclusion, she described the audience as "delicious and permissive." Of course we were. We love Bea no matter how she delivers her show. Personally, I could listen to her fantastic stories and wild profanity for hours. I left the show feeling content that I watched my favorite golden girl please the audience in the face of technical issues and memory lapses. I watched her walk off the stage, hand in hand with Billy, and I thought that it would probably be the last time I saw her. I was pleased and proud to be a fan of such a truly remarkable performer and person.

For years, my partner and I have purposefully tried to restrict our exposure to the recording of Bea's show until we could experience it in person. After months, on Sunday, March 19, 2006 at approximately 4:00 p.m., our wait was over. We retrieved our tickets from the Will Call window and made our way to the theatre. We saw that Governors State University allowed drinks in the auditorium and decided that it would be appropriate to grab a cocktail, and "have a drink with Bea". Of course it didn't dawn on us until after we sat down that we wouldn't be able to clap with our drinks in hand, so we toasted Bea and slammed them! We had great seats just a few rows back slightly off center, but it looked like all the seats in the house were good. Bea took the stage shortly after 4:00 p.m. It took me at least ten minutes to pinch myself and realize that this was real; there she was, right in front of me, this was not TV. Once I snapped out of my shock, I realized how professional she was with her craft. She obviously had the script down pat, but was relaying it in such a manner that made her lines seem impromptu. During the first couple songs and stories the sound system kept acting up. This was frustrating for all. The audience eagerly wanted her to cut loose, and she seemed hesitant to bring it home because of the microphones restrictions. This was very unfortunate to have a performer of Bea Arthur‚s caliber compromised in such a way. However, Bea never lost focus; she stayed resolute and kept on with her performance. The stage crew got her a handheld microphone and despite the glitch the audience was still attentive to her every word. With the problem behind her, Bea was liberated to have fun with her show, which is what everybody in the house had come to see.

The show was fantastic! Billy was the foundation of which her show was built. He not only played for her, but played up to her. His reactions and side comments were funny, and with him by her side her stories seemed that much more personal and intimate. He was a springboard for her fantastic mannerisms and pregnant pauses inspiring delightfully comic suspense. Their interaction reminded me of my grandparents the way they lovingly jab and bicker with each other. These two are not your ordinary grandparents though! My grandmother would never say "fuck", "cock", "twat", or "douche bag". Bea's eyes flickered with life and her wise cracks were accentuated by Billy's reactions and her gestures toward him. Though I was in a room with hundreds of people, she was able to convey her experiences just as if we were gossiping over coffee, one on one. The selections of songs and stories were perfect. It was so nice to hear her stories of her accomplishments and exchanges during her superb career. Her songs were equally appropriate. They were intimately personal for her, yet they were emotionally accessible for all. They were her stories, but I could relate with my own experiences and I found myself emotional during the touching "Where Do You Start" as well as the hilarious "If I Can't Sell It, I'll Keep Sittin‚ On It". I would not be surprised if others felt the same, I know my partner, who is from India, was thrilled she said she likes Lamb curry. The performance worked both ways, her to us, us to her. There were people all around us signing along with every song, laughing before she finished each joke, even at a couple places she would get sidetracked and an audience member would yell up a cue, and she would laugh and pick up on it and go with it saying "hey yeah, your right". This spontaneity personalized her show and made the experience that much more special. Even when she slyly said "shady pines", a large part of the crowd spoke it with her. I believe my partner summed attending her show the best way. Afterward he said, "that was like great sex, followed by the best afterglow ever". Bravo Bea, you're the best!

I want to thank Kevin and his web site for keeping us informed of all of Bea's activities and shows. Without him, keeping tabs on her would be much more difficult.

After the show running for several years, I finally got my chance to see Bea Arthur's show "Just Between Friends" in University Park, IL on Sunday, March 19th, 2006! As Kevin knows, I have felt for quite sometime that this day would never come! I'm actually for Ontario, Canada and missed the show when Bea played here at the Elgin/Winter Garden for over two weeks! I've also purchased tickets for three separate Bea shows over the past year – two of them were cancelled, and the other I unfortunately couldn't make it to, so my ticket went to waste. But things looked up when I purchased a 5th row ticket to Bea's Chicago area show, which was rescheduled from a previous date, due to illness.

After what seemed like quite an eternity, it was finally time to see Bea! We left rather early in the morning and made the almost 8 hour trek over to University Park, IL. Each hour seemed like forever, but sure enough, the hours did indeed pass by. We arrived in University Park around 2.00pm local time, and I picked up my ticket at the will call window. There is always that moment where you think something may have happened, and they don't have the tickets, or that the show was cancelled - but that was just me being my neurotic self! We decided to go for lunch before the show, which would not only fill my empty stomach, but make that last little while go by even faster. I guess that's what seems like the longest time – those last few hours before the show! After lunch I returned back to the Center for the Performing Arts at the Governor's State University, and found my seat! My seat was perfect, like I said – 5th row, and just off to the side! I would have the perfect view of the stage, and of course, Bea!

The stage was filled with the familiar image of the piano with its vase of water, wing chair, and the small side table with its pitcher and glass of water. At approximately 4:10pm, Bea walked barefoot onto the stage, immediately sending chills down my spine, and giving me goose bumps! There are very few performers who can do that to me. The audience went into a thunderous applause, as Bea stood there taking it all in. She looked so beautiful, and is such an inspiration. Then her great accompanist on the piano, Billy Goldenberg made his way onto the stage. After telling Billy to "sit down," Bea made her way into the lamb recipe, and I won't go into the specifics, it's been so many times before. While I knew quite a bit about the show, what she'd sing, etc., I was still taken by surprise at hysterically funny this woman is! She has lost none of her wit, and she defines perfect timing. Watching her was almost like an acting lesson on how to successfully deliver a comedic line. She's a master at her craft. There was one point in the show, where Bea points into the audience and says a few lines, and she pointed right at me, and said her lines to me! I couldn't believe it! The one and only Beatrice Arthur was making eye contact with me. Incredible. Bea forgot a couple lines of some songs, but used it to her advantage, and had the audience wrapped in the palm of her hand like only she can. There were also some audio problems, and Bea had to perform the second half with a microphone. She said, "I've never had to do this before! What the hell do it do with it?" Again, the audience was eating it all up!

As quickly as it began, it was all over! The audience gave Bea a much deserved standing ovation! People of all ages were standing for this brilliant performer of stage and screen, and there was much love in the room. Finally, after what felt like a "Bea Arthur" curse I had my chance to see her live and in person. It was worth every minute of the 16 hours of driving, and I'll cherish those memories forever. I purchased an autographed copy of her CD for $20 which was being sold after the show. It was also signed by Billy. It was the perfect memento of the perfect day.

Hello, all!

Today's matinee of Bea's One Woman Show, was, in a word... devine! This was the 3rd time that I have seen the show. The first time was when the tour first started a few years back in Thousand Oaks, California, at The Thousand Oaks Performing Arts Center. Then I saw it again 1 & 1/2 years at The El Portal Theatre in N Hollywood, CA... where I saw it today.

The El Portal Theatre was built as a Vaudeville House in the 20's and then later turned into a movie theatre. The theatre went into disrepair after the 1994 Northridge Earthquake and has since been restored to a legitimate theatre.

It was posted on line that the performances at The El Portal were being filmed for a dvd release. There were no cameras in the theatre today. Perhaps it was filmed earlier this week during the Thurs, Fri or Sat shows.

Conrad Bain, Bea's co-star from "Maude," was in the audience this afternoon - 4th row center.

As the lights went down, Bea walked out on stage to huge applause, introduces Billy Goldenberg, and the show begins. I have the cd of the show that came out a few years ago. Since the cd is edited for time constraits, it's so nice to hear and see the show in it's complete entirety.

It's changed a bit from the 3 times that I've seen it. The first time in Thousand Oaks, there was no intermission. 1 & 1/2 years ago at The El Portal, there was an intermission. At this performance there was no intermission.

Since the Mae West story isn't on the cd, it was nice to hear it again, and to see Bea imitate Mae West... looking up at her. Very, very funny. Perhaps the funniest part of the show is when she is saying that many people asked her why she would do a 1 woman show when there we so many parts out there for a woman her age! Ha,ha..

My favorite part of the show is the song that she sings about owning a 2nd hand furniture store. Hysterical!! Her "twist" on the words in the song is wonderful!

Her timing and delivery is impectable. When she tells of her stories and experiences, it's as if she is telling them for the first time. She's so excited to tell us, the audience, all the amazing people that she has met or worked with.

The moment she mentions Lotte Lenya from "The Three Penny Opera," her eyes instantly well up with tears. It's very obvious that Bea adored and respected that woman. Her memories of that show, bring her the most joy!

She also sang "If He Walked Into My Life Today" from "Mame." Her performance was extraordinary! I'm sure she would have killed to have played the part of Mame Dennis in "Mame" instead of Vera Charles.

Her stories of her audition singing "Summer Time," Jerome Robbins, Tony Curtis, "Maude," Talluhlah Bankhead and others are so fresh and detailed in her memory, it's as if it just happened.

Today's performance was sold out. The theatre was selling "overflow" seating... the top section of the balcony had folding chairs to see the show.

A screaming, standing ovaition closed the show. The audience roared with laughter when she announced that she was NOT going to sing "I'm Still Here." She closed the show with "The Man On The Moon" from "Mame."

One thing that was so nice was that Bea completely shared the stage with her pianist Billy Goldenberg. She constantly spoke to him, acknowledged him and thanked him. Many artists don't do that. Sure, they will thank them near the end of the show. But, he was featured CONSTANTLY! Which is a very nice thing for her to have done.

Well, that's about it. I certainly hope that a dvd of the show comes out. The theatre was selling autographed cd's of the show in the lobby.

Thanks for reading.

I had the pleasure of seeing Bea's show last night at the Birchmere in Alexandria, Virginia (a suburb of Washington, DC). I first saw the show at the Warner Theatre in Washington, DC in October 2001 (before Broadway & the West End). On the afternoon of the 2001 show, the United States bombed Aftganastan. Bea came out and commented about about using comedy to make people laugh when they feel like crying. She said it was OK to laugh, but they could also OK to cry.

It's been four years since I saw the show (but I do have the CD memorized). While I want to be honest and say that you can see that Bea has physically aged. One of the friends I was with commented that she looked like Betty Davis in her final years. Her voice is also losing its range. It's cracking (as I saw on the Pamela Anderson Roast) and she's speaking many of the notes she used to sing. But remember, the woman is 82 years old ... and an incredible 82 years old.

The Birchereme is a supper club, generally hosting musicians. My seat was directly in front of the stage (and in front of Bea's chair). I could have easily reached out and touched her! And how absolutely wonderful to see someone at her age carry a 90 minute, one woman show. The show has been tweaked since I first saw it. Last night I heard the Mae West story for the first time. She also told the Hal Linden story (which I also heard at the Warner), but it wasn't in the CD. A new song was added and an old one was taken out. I've heard many people say that they wished she talked more about the TV years. I think the whole point was that the show was about Bea and that she's far more than her TV roles. And she truly was Bea. And Bea at her finest. I hope I have the opporunity to see the show again.

so here's the story,

dad and i went there. we had some time before the show so he hit the bar, and i waited on a bench for him to finish up (i'm a minor). so who should walk past but billy! so i run up to him and introduce myself. i then pull oot a picture of bea i had been keeping down my shirt so i wouldn't have to fold it. (he didn't seem freaked oot by this at all XD!) so i he signed it, and i asked if he could get bea to sign it too, and he said he would! and he told me to get it at the ticket office after the show.

so then we went to the show, which was great. bea did songs i hadn't heard on the disc like "i like new york", and told the elevator story which was great.

so i hit up the ticket office and it's not there! to make a long story shorter, i make two trips around this casino praying that each place has it. i take one last trip up to the ticket office one more time and who should i see behind me but billy! he gives me the signed pic and asks me if i had a chance to met bea. i say "no, but this is really enough." he then points out - "she's right over there." i'm like-*heart attack*

i can tell she's tired but i really would appreciate a quick pic. she's cool aboot it, and i drag billy into the shot too, (for he was the one that made everything happen-God bless him.) so bea's all "girls in the middle!" and the security lady took the pic. so bea lands an elevator and two lovers come up and ask for pics.

they call oot, and run up there i snap the pic, and she's gone. the lovers gave me their address and i send their pic to them. and here are pics they sent me from her show at the tampa bay performing arts center on 10-26-01.

I saw Bea this past weekend in Nyack, and she was fabulous.

We arrived at the theatre at about 7:20pm. The waiting area was full of older people (canes, crutches, wheel chairs, and oxygen tanks, I kid you not!!). I felt a bit odd, as I am 28 and my partner is 27, so I told him that he was the youngest in the room! Also, a comment from a co-worker of mine kept echoing in my head, "I just don't understand why a young man your age would be so interested in Bea Arthur!" She is too funny.

Anyway, closer to the show time, the waiting area began to fill. Thank God, in came a lot of younger people, and a lot of typical "Golden Girl" fans who also were most obviously friend of Dorothy ;-)

The show was great. It really was the same as I had seen on Broadway, and also as is on the CD. She threw in a few differences, such as she sang a different song from Mame, not Bosom Buddies. She added a couple comments about Nyack. And a few other subtle differences that most people would not notice unless the were crazy enough to have the broadway CD loaded on their MP3 player ;-)

It was great seeing the show and Bea live. Especially because you can sign (or in my case hum) along. You know what is coming, especially my favorite the Talula Bankhead story and the Gravy Laddle.

The show ended as on the CD, and she received an enthusiastic round of applause. I did bring flowers for her, but unfortunately she did not see me. I left them on the stage. I told the theatre manager, and he said he would make sure that she got them. He said that she wouldn't have been able to see me at the bottom of the stage with all the bright lights shining at her. Too bad, I was hoping for a picture. I didn't take one during the performance as they asked us not too. A few people did though.

Other than that, she seemed great, and was her usually cheerful self. She is doing those shows in Atlantic City in June, and I have been trying to decide if I want to go to that.

I hope you have a chance to go and see her.

Take care,
-John:^)

Hello Kevin, I was just checking out your Bea Arthur web site. Great job by the way. It's worth coming back to. Anyway, I read on the message board about a guy named Luca who lived in Amsterdam and had tickets to see Bea's show on October 11th. So did I. I live in the Netherlands as well and I flew to London for two days just to see Bea's show, but when I went to the theatre to pick up my tickets I found out it had been cancelled because she was taken ill. I don't think I have to tell you how very disappointed I was. I love her work in Mame and I was lucky enough to have seen a couple of episodes of Maude that were re-run out here (I'm waiting for the dvd-release). And of course, Golden Girls was a huge hit in the Netherlands as it was anywhere around the world. When I found out she was doing a one woman show in New York I wanted very badly to go there but I had to settle for the cd instead. So I bought it when it was first released on Amazon (I LOVE fifty percent and Pirate Jenny by the way) and I've been waiting for her to come to London ever since so I could get an opportunity to see this incredible performer at work on the stage. Alas, it wasn't meant to be. Instead of my impressions of her and her show I brought home a flyer and a poster. Anyway, I just really hope she's feeling better now, because there's nothing worse than being ill especially when you work in the theatre. You seem to be having regular contact with Bea so I was wondering if you would bring her my best wishes and admiration.

Thank you very much for taking the time to read this email and keep up the good work.

Kind regards,

Melanie
(in case you're wondering, I'm 27)

Hello,

I am a 26 year old boy from Belgium and went to see Bea's show in London. Unfortunately my working schedule only allowed me to go on 18th October, the last day of the performances. When we received an email earlier that week that Bea had to cancel some shows due to illness, I totally freaked out!! Especially because we already had booked tickets once to go to see Bea.... last year in New York in the Booth Theatre (the last shows were cancelled then and we were so disappointed). So, when we got the news that Bea was coming to London I was so very happy, unbelievable.

When I started reading reviews from the show in London, I felt so very sorry for Bea!! In fact, having seen the show now, I can understand some of the critics... but I still loved it so very much! Only being in the same room with her was magical! And for me, being rather young for a Bea-fan, not knowing almost anyone or anything she talked about, still made it the best night of this year for me!! Still suffering her illness, it still was a great show and the public loved her! Of course, I can not compare with other shows off her but I loved it, in fact, if I would have had the opportunity to go see a second show I would not have doubted one second!! She is just magic. Unfortunately, being still sick she did not give autographs or take pictures with fans so for that I was sad, but very understanding! Get well soon Bea.

Working as a flight-attendant I can go see a lot of shows with superstars everywhere (I have seen Aretha Franklin last month in New York and it was so NOT worth the money) and I have to say that Bea really knocked me out!! She is no rock star like Tina Turner (who is Simply the Best I have ever seen!!) but for her age and with her thing going, I have so much respect for her! Unbelievable....

Hi,

My wife and I went to see Bea last night (Oct 17th) at the Savoy and did enjoy it very much. However I do have to say that I can see why she has received the reviews that she has from the UK critics.

First of all let me say that we are both fans of Bea. My wife, who is American, knows her from her TV performances and some of her stage and my personal fandom comes solely from her performances on Golden Girls. While it is true that the majority of people who attend her shows are already fans of her, critics review the show for the mass population of the London Theatre going public and I have to admit the show doesn't really hit the grade for non fans of Bea who don't really have a much of a knowledge about her.

In fairness to her, Bea clearly wasn't fully recovered. We traveled 3 hours last week to get to London to be told the show was cancelled, we returned yesterday with a rebooked hotel pleased to find she was back on stage. Unfortunately the cold, flu or infection clearly took its toll, something which didn't particularly harm her singing, but was quite obviously annoying her as she constantly had tissue in hand. In my opinion the critics were right that although the show was tried and tested it could have really done with being slightly re written for a UK audience. Many of the people Bea was reminiscing about were not that well known here in the UK and that added to the fact that the audience was by no means full meant that at times the applause was not that overwhelming. While it appears that Bea clearly does not want to solely be known for Golden Girls I do think avoiding the topic almost altogether is a real shame. It was clear what most of the audience knew her from, just from the one point when she "re-inacted" Dorothy warning her mother with the words "Shady Pines". This short moment was the closest Bea got to a standing ovation all night. The audience was by no means full and I noticed several extra spaces in a few rows after the interval.

I enjoyed the first half very much, it even included a wonderful impromptu performance of Land of Hope and Glory from Billy after Bea had to leave the stage to have her microphone fixed (It had been having problems throughout the first few songs). Nevertheless without wishing to offend anyone here the second half was clearly very much aimed at the Gay presence within the audience and some of the very obvious connotations or mentions (such as the Canadians allowing single sex marriages) were met with an embarrassing couple of cheers from a couple of people at the back, the majority of the audience stayed silent throughout much of this and the show in my opinion suffered for it.

Overall I enjoyed the show and felt slightly sorry for Bea throughout it. She wasn't ready to comeback and suffered throughout, despite remaining extremely professional and gaining much respect from myself and many people in the audience in the process. Because of this much of the supposed memories and relaxed chat seemed very staged and it was quite clear she was in auto pilot and was looking forward to the end. This was confirmed when my wife and myself quickly went to the stage door along with a few other members of the audience only to be told 1/2 hour later by Billy Goldenberg that she had in fact already left via another route because she didn't feel like seeing anyone.

I just want to make it clear that while it is true that some aspects may well have passed by the funny bone of many a UK audience, in my opinion this wasn't the only reason the show has not been that much of a success critically. My personal opinion of Bea has also changed - I now appreciate her talent and character so much more! I do feel I got to meet the actual person that she is and came away with some good memories as did my wife who enjoyed the show also. I just feel that with a little bit of tweaking and perhaps not such a heavy schedule it could have done her a lot more justice, especially for those who don't love her already.

Michael.
