Just got home from the day with the little bit. We did see Madagascar and apparently she and I were the only people in the audience who found it funny. Though it was like the first Shrek all over again, where something inappropriate was said and I have to look at Ellen, but luckily it went over her head and she was more interested in Alex the Lion falling a lot.

So it was enjoyable. Then we went out and spoiled her mad before meeting up with my sister and Nancy for dinner, where I handed a very sugared up little bit back to my sister for the rest of the night. MWAH!

I had to do this because it's *broadway* - and that's been my first love since I was four years old and saw Oliver.


Choose any 3 roles on Broadway that you would want to be in:

Currently on broadway?

1. Glinda in Wicked
2. Maureen in Rent
3. Lady of the Lake in Spamalot (It would just be fun! It's Monty Python!)

If told tomorrow you could go see any 2 shows for free and front row you would see...

Only two?

1. Dirty Rotten Scoundrels - Norbie!!!
2. I so want to see Assassins

What 3 shows would you want to be revived so you could perform in them and what role:

1. Florence in Chess
2. Cassie in Chorus Line (Okay, I got to be her in high school play - and as a dancer primarily, that was always the role I wanted)
3. Velma in Chicago

What 3 shows would you want to be revived so you could just watch

ALL of them, bitches! I'm a theater whore.

1. Chicago - I don't care how many times I see it, I love it so.
2. Scarlet Pimpernel - but the original version, not the redone or touring versions. Those are crap. And really it would have to have Douglas Sills to make me really happy.
3. Ragtime - gah!

3 Broadway actresses you'd want to work opposite of:
1. Idina Menzel
2. Marren Mazzi (sp?)
3. Bebe Neuwirth

3 Broaday actors you'd want to work opposite of:
1. Anthony Rapp
2. Brian Stokes Mitchell
3. Brian d'Arcy James

Um...can I keep going? There are many!

The 1 part that you wouldn't mind changing your sex for (male part if your a girl and so on): I would love to play Percy/Pimpy in Scarlet Pimpernel! the fun of that part!

Your 1 dream broadway role:
1. as Florence in a revival of Chess. I *love* chess!

The 1 part you would love to play but know you never could for some reason.
1. Mimi in Rent

1 Broadway show that closed too early:
1. The Capeman. I loved it. Why didn't anyone else get to see it? Or *want* to?

The one show you would never see again:
1. I'll probably cause heart attacks, but I hated Les Mis both times i saw it. It's my Cosette hate, I think. I can't get past it. Oooh...I just hate her so much and stupid Marius...oohhh...
2. And Lion King. I went because of Jason as Adult Simba...but the first act dragged until he came into it. Just...I love the movie, but there were *animals* in walkways. (It makes me think of Forbidden Broadway and then I laugh though...)

The one show you would see over and over again:
1. I think I've proven I'm a Renthead through and through...OBC alone I'm in the 40's for viewing. Hee. I love that show. I love my OBC. I have very strong attachments to that show and that time in my life...so it would have to be the OBC - like I went to Anthony's last and haven't been back to the Nederlander except once to see Joey Fatone (err...)

Your Favorite Broadway Quote:
1. "Let the green girl go!" ::Dies laughing::
tommygirl: (books - the world)
The one thing I hate about going to the beach on Memorial Day weekend with the boy...the traffic. The hellish traffic...hence the reason I'm already home. Because boy woke me up at the asscrack of dawn to "beat" the traffic. Now I'm catching up on friends' list and preparing for lunch with the family. My mother wants to see a movie, but there is nothing that we *all* want to see (and that's her requirement). She keeps recommending this movie called Layer Cake. Anyone heard anything about it?

The good thing about the weekend that was awesome - while the boy went off on his sailboat, I sat and read two books. Ahhh...I miss just reading a lot, without worrying that none of my own writing is done.

Of course, now it hits me that I have TWO ficathon pieces due tomorrow and wednesday. Eep! After family gathering today, I will force myself to write! Oh crap!

Anyway, reading Assassination Vacation by Sarah Vowell, I am once again reminded that she and I are the same kind of nerd. I love to go to Presidential Libraries and do all that historical stuff - and as I read her latest book, I find myself thinking, "That would be cool to follow John Wilkes Booth escape route from DC one weekend." The boy proceeds to state that I'm too intrigued by crazy, racist zealots. He's probably onto something, but it's still interesting.

**

Not much else to report. Hope everyone had a good weekend!

I'm already counting down the days to next weekend in the Poconos for girl's weekend. I love my summer full of trekking about on weekends. Now if only I had the money to travel like I used to (damn rent really put a damper on my traveling), it would be even better!
