The hottest ticket in NYC last night was for the Upright Citizens Brigade production of “Saturday Night Live”! Due to the Writer’s Strike, all television production has ceased on this and most all other shows, and most of the staff and crew have been laid off indefinitely.

So, if you were lucky to score a ticket (and most of humanity missed out, unless you were a friend or relative or insider), you got to see a LIVE theatrical version of SNL, hosted by Micheal Cera and starring all the present cast plus Horatio Sanz and Rachel Dratch! Rachel made an appearance as Debbie Downer, and the audience went wild!

Several blog posts and web articles have been written up, so you can read all the accounts..

Live From New York, A Show By Family, For Family | Associated Press | New York Times | Francine’s Blog | Time Out New York- the Tony Blog (where it’s mentioned that “Rachel Dratch knows her way around an air guitar.”

If I can get a hold of a photo of Rachel from last night’s show, I will include it here. So check back! And, if you are reading this and have one to contribute, please do! Click “CONTACT” above to send it to me. Thanks!
