Hannigan Shenanigans

Buffy star on orgasms and Meg Ryan

08/01/2004

It isn’t often that you get an American TV star comparing her orgasm to that of a Hollywood film actress, but in the zany world of showbusiness that’s what happened when Buffy star Alyson Hannigan came to town this week. Hannigan was holding a press conference with fellow ’actor’ Luke Perry to promote the duo’s appearance in the stage show of When Harry Met Sally when she was asked how she would approach that scene.

Admitting she had already rehearsed Ryan’s infamous orgasm scene in unsuspecting delis back home in America, Hannigan was quizzed as to whether her performance would contain any surprises. ’I haven’t really thought about it,’ she told the assembled hacks. ’Meg Ryan is a very different person from what I am. I imagine our orgasms would be slightly different.’

Now there’s a mental image to occupy the male portion of our readership this afternoon.

Phew...wow...hey lilcrazy thanks for the photos...wow AH just gets hotter and hotter every day. Damn...wish she wore clothing like that during BTVS instead of some of the down right scary stuff the wardrobe department would throw at her (red carpet of Elmo death anyone?)



Daaaaaamn....now I feel like making a trip to England to see it...

[Always410]

WHY DO I HAVE TO LIVE IN CANADA! I HATE it....all the good stuff happens everywhere BUT here. And when it DOES happen (ie, Amber in Toronto) I cant go!



This sucks.

Tara: Willow, you are using too much magick. What do you want me to do, sit back and keep my mouth shut?

Willow: Well that'd be a good start.

Tara: (Shocked) If I didn''t love you so damn much I would!

[FantasticMissKitty]

OMG Aly was on our local (London) news yesterday promoting the play and she looked HOT!



Theres a great article on the BBC website http://www.bbc.co.uk/cult/buffy



I'm suddenly so glad i live in London...

Hee, and I am suddenly jealous that you live in London.

[MadeinNZ]

Got tickets for early March. 5 rows back. I think they may have to put out one of those warnings like they do at Seaworld - "first 5 rows may get wet".



Oooh - a NZ emoticon I think I'm in love.

If anyone is thinking of going to the show before March 28th, I'd recommend checking

www.officiallondontheatre...dontheatre

before you book your tickets. Through the Mayor's Get Into Theatre Scheme (which Aly helped to launch yesterday) you can get tickets for the show for £25(no booking fee and no postal charges for the Uk) I got my ticket on Row G of the stalls for February at this price

CJ: The press says it's charming, sleek and often times witty - not at all unlike myself.

Oh i just found the same info on the BBC site-apparently you can get tickets for as little as ten quid! take a look:

Hello to everyone



I'm new here.



I just read that MadeinNZ is going to see "When Harry met Sally" on stage.

I'm also interested and now I would like to know if there are any other persons interested in seeing Aly on stage?

Here's what they say about Aly in the 'cast' section:

Quote:

ALYSON HANNIGAN - Sally



In a profession where young actors are a 'dime a dozen' and interchangeable with each other, it is difficult to find a performer who stands uniquely on their own. Alyson Hannigan is one of the few exceptions. A veteran performer who has been acting since age four, Alyson possesses down-to-earth individuality, lively charm, a quirky sense of humor and straight forward intelligence.



Alyson starred in Universal comedy hit AMERICAN WEDDING this past summer which is now out on DVD. She revised her role as "Michelle," the "band geek" from the previous two hit AMERICAN PIE films.



Alyson also recently completed her role on BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER. In this cult television show, Alyson portrayed 'Willow Rosenberg,' Buffy's best friend and confidante, with dry, comedic wit. She describes her TV alter-ego as "a computer expert who is smart, funny, cool and a really good friend."



She was also seen appearing in the feature film DEAD MAN ON CAMPUS (MTV/PARAMOUNT) opposite Tom Everett Scott. In the film she portrays 'Lucy,' a naive and painfully sheltered college freshman.



Born in Washington D.C., Alyson moved to Atlanta at age two. She began her career in Atlanta doing commercials, working steadily in national spots for companies like McDonald's, Six Flags Amusement Parks and Oreo Cookies. At age 11, she moved to Los Angeles with the hopes of getting into television and film.



Her breakthrough role came at age 13 when she was cast as Dan Aykroyd's misunderstood daughter in the feature film, MY STEPMOTHER IS AN ALIEN. She went on to guest star on a number of popular television shows, including PICKET FENCES, ROSEANNE, and TOUCHED BY AN ANGEL. She was a recurring guest star on the series ALMOST HOME and a series regular on FREE SPIRIT. she co-starred in two HBO productions: SWITCHED AT BIRTH and BOB SAGET, IN DREAM STATE, as well as MOW'S for ABC and CBS.



In her free time (of which there is little with her hectic workload), Alyson enjoys an active life. "I've always been a big tomboy," she quips. She loves soccer, 'surfing the web' and practicing kick boxing. During her hiatus, she took classes in karate and ballet. She also devotes a great deal of time to her two dogs and five cats. But mostly, Alyson says, "I do laundry... I'm always trying to catch up."



As for the future, Alyson hopes to continue performing. "Acting is the only thing I've ever known. It's what I've always wanted to do." She also hopes to buy a really big washing machine."

Booked my ticket this afternoon for Feb 26th. Gosh life is sooo darn good sometimes

[urnofosiris]

March 6th

[concrete]

March 6th! Me too! Coincidence much?

Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious.

Even though the sound of it is something quite atrocious. ...

[Rocktoddy]

Hee! Indeed a coincidence!

I was thinking (as much as a sixteen year old is allowed to) of going the 12th of March myself but suddenly the 6th doesn't sound too bad either

Would it be a good idea if some of us Dutch Kittens could go meet up somewhere in London and go see the play together?

Dr G? Concrete? Anyone interested? I know I haven't quite earned my Lesbo Street Cred around here yet, but it's just a suggestion... I would looove to gush about my W/T, A/A love to someone in RL who actually cares... heh.

We (anyone going on the 6th at 8 pm) could meet afterwards and go for a drink or something. Meeting beforehand won't be possible for me, but a bonus is that afterwards we'll have the play to talk about and the opportunity to shamelessly gloat at the expense of everyone who can't go.

[concrete]

I also got some plans beforehand, so a drink after the play sounds good to me G! Count me in

Are you following me around or something?

[Laika 27]

Yay! I've now got my ticket for Feb 19th



Really really looking forward to this.

[Ziona]

I will go there on February 14th. Can't wait to see the play.

*dances round the house screaming*



I GOT MY TICKETS!!! YEAH BABY!!!



19th Feb, people!!



Come on, bring it on.



Man, I am wayyyy too hyper.

Perry Meets Hannigan in London’s When Harry Met Sally, Beginning Feb. 10

By Robert Simonson

and James Inverne

10 Feb 2004

Luke Perry is Harry and Alyson Hannigan is Sally in a new stage version of Rob Reiner’s 1989 movie When Harry Met Sally, set will open at the Theatre Royal, Haymarket on Feb 20, after previews from Feb.10.

The show is directed by Loveday Ingram and produced by James Tod, with music by current "cool" jazz star Jamie Cullum and his brother Ben.

Hannigan is arguably a more bankable name than Perry these days, with her star-making turns in TV’s "Buffy The Vampire Slayer" and the "American Pie" big-screen franchise. (Interestingly, with Anthony Head in rep at the Savoy it only needs Sarah Michelle Gellar to land a West End role for all three "Buffy" leads to "stake" their theatreland claims in 2004). When Harry Met Sally sees the 29-year-old actress moving away from adolescent roles.

Perry, of course, is known to television viewers worldwide for his role as Dylan in "Beverly Hill 90210."

The film "When Harry Met Sally" was a surprise hit when it premiered in 1989, and helped establish the careers of many of the artists involved, including Billy Crystal and Meg Ryan, who thereafter were thought of as viable romantic leads; screenwriter Nora Ephron, who soon after graduated to the position of director; and Harry Connick, Jr., who scored the hit soundtrack spawned by the movie.
