So it's been a short yet productive week for me. I only had two music rehearsals myself. But we got through the intricacies of "Timeless to Me", "Welcome to the 60's" and "Can't Stop the Beat" and I love them all! But I have my work in store for me. Gotta do 'em justice.

In June of 2002 I had an experience that would alter my perception on how good musical theater could be. That was when I saw "Hairspray" for the first time. It was the pre-Broadway run at the 5th Avenue Theatre. I had heard a bit of "Welcome to the 60's" on the radio commercial and thought to myself, "This sounds pretty good." Little did I know what I was in for the night I saw it. Little did I know that I would be introduced to one of my favorite shows of all time and to a character that I would long to play for years to come.
