Tim Curry

To be honest I haven't seen many of Tim Curry's films but a few years ago my friend and me had an obsession with Stephen King's IT.

We used to watch all the Pennywise scenes over and over again and used to quote them all the time!

He really did play that role well
 
Damn! I hadn't finished and i hit reply instead of advanced :mad:

As i was saying... because of Tim my mate and me were constantly in stitches laughing and quoting Pennywise all the time! :p

Sorry Tim if you were supposed to be scary :o

"That's it... Let go... BE AFRAID! you all taste so much better when you're afraid!"

I'll get me coat... :o
 
I want to go see that next time I'm over there, but none of my frienRAB over there like Python.. grrrr.. Looks like I'm gonna be "sad English Guy on his own" in the theatre!

You sure won't be alone in the theatre ;) hehe. Infact....it'll be that full I'd be surprised if you could get a ticket! ;) Or you could always wait till it comes over here....Mike Nichols announced at last night's Tony's how he wants to bring it to the West End next year.....*screams* .... But I doubt Mr Curry will be in the cast....*cries*...
 
To be perfectly honest the bloke gives me the creeps. Don't know what it is but he makes me feel all funny!
But then again Dr Frank-n-furter was amazingly sexy!

WIERD!!!
 
I totally adore Tim Curry!

some young people spent their youth being oppsessed with football - i spent mine watching the Rocky Horror Show!
i loved it!
 
lmao ohhh purlease - yeah. Coz I still think he's on Broadway. Maybe...but since ive breathed this man's career regarding this show for about a year...um lol. Anyways thanks for wondering how to break the news to me. Alas - Yes. He left Broadway in December.

He opens in London on the 2nd of October untill January. I was at the press launch today - so my tickets are sitting here looking rather delicious..

Hi Mrs. OGrady,

I have put several posts on here as I am a big Tim Curry fan. I see a lot of shows on Broadway (I am from US). I get emails daily of upcoming events. I thought you would enjoy this one (your wish is granted!!!!) Here it is:
