Well, it's been a week. And the Awards-That-Must-Not-Be-Named are still following me everywhere I go. And I'm still depressed. Thank you Awards-That-Must-Not-Be-Named fror making my mother cry when you didn't award Mano you cheap little statue with it's plastic base. Sigh. I hate you. That is, I would hate you if you weren't dead to me. DEAD. TO. ( Read more... )

Hello. I have come back from the dead. How exciting!

I saw 'Wicked' in Detroit on Saturday. We ended up seeing the standby for Elphaba, Victoria Matlock, because Julia is apparently very sick. I hope she gets better soon! Also, my seat were second row center. Awesomeness. Review under the cut.

Act I:

I'm watching "Fat Actress". This has got to be the best show ever made.

Kirstie Alley: Why can't I just have my own show? I mean, look at John Goodman, he has a show! Jason Alexander? He looks like a fucking bowling ball, but he has a show! Oh, and what about James Gadol... uh... fino! He's as big as a whale. He is way, way, *way* fatter than I am!

When the best part of the show is the costumes, you know you're in trouble. On the other hand, I am disappointed that the new revival of "The Threepenny Opera" hasn't gotten good reviews ( Read more... )

Dude. I met Liza Minelli. Yeah, my life is pretty awesome right about now. Our conversation:

Liza: Hi Rachel!
Me: Hi! This is so exciting!
Liza: Well, thank you for saying that!
Me: I live in a small town and nobody exciting ever comes there. I drove three hours to get here.
Liza: Where are you from?
Me: Moline.
Liza: I've heard of Moline.
Me: Really?

Cast Recording/Bootleg update! If you see something, let me know BY E-MAIL (unless your name is Rachel, in which case, leave all the comments you want:)).  Seriously, I asked that last time and I still had to delete about ten comments. It's too hard for me to keep up with everyone's requests getting jumbled. If you want something, I'll probably ( Read more... )

I'm going to Wicked in Detroit. June 3rd. 8pm show. I'm so excited I think I might die of a heart attack. I'm going alone (!) but I'm meeting my friend Sarah and her mom up there. Yep. And we're SDing afterwords. Oooh boy, ooh boy. This could be my favorite cast yet. Pictures under the cut.

Julia Murney is one of the most beautiful Elphabas I've ever seen. And don't even get me started on Sebastian.
