Cheyenne Jackson tickled me. AFTER ordering SoMMS a drink but NOT tickling him, and hanging out with Girly in his dressing room (where he DIDN'T tickle her) but BEFORE we got married. To others. And then he tweeted Boobs. He also tweeted he's good friends with some chick on "The Voice" who just happens to be good friends with Tink's ex. And I'm still married. Oh, and this just in: "Pettiness, spite, malice ....Such ugly emotions... So sad." - After Eight, talking about MEEEEEEEE!!! I'm so honored! :-)

The Illustrated Script and Lyrics of Cabaret.
I already knew I was getting it, but I was still pretty psyched when I opened it and started reading [oh and looking at the pictures...] It's probably one of the coolest books I own now... it will proudly make its home amongst my Beatles Illustrated Lyrics book and my M*A*S*H bible [well, it's the complete book of M*A*S*H].
I also got the 1999 studio recording of Cabaret.
I'm a happy little nerd now. =)

I only got one Broadway/theatre-themed gift so far:
Tickets to see Les Miserables on January 13th. Row E center orchestra too. :)
But I did get an early gift a few weeks ago... My parents gave us tickets to see the NYC Ballet's Nutcracker at Lincoln Center last Sunday. It was really good!

Well, so far my theatre related gifts have been: a Beauty and the Beast diary (plus locket which I'm already wearing) and a BatB t-shirt as well as a Tarzan t-shirt. (My dad is addicted to Disney.com).
That's just from my parents. I still have aunts and uncles and a Nana to go...
Now that that's over...I also got all three Broadway's Lost Treasure DVDs, plus the Best of Plays as well.
