God, I loved this. Is it weird that after I read these, I immediately want to see the show?
One time, Patti LuPone punched me in the face...


It was awesome.

Sheer brilliance.
I am a firm believer in serendipity- all the random pieces coming together in one wonderful moment, when suddenly you see what their purpose was all along.

Oh boy this is awkward.


Freakin' hilarious.
"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe." -John Guare, Landscape of the Body

Wonderful as usual! Loved the Harold Hill reference, since I too swear, I turned to my friend and was like did we suddenly land in the Music Man?

(I actually preferred this one, but I have a strong dislike for the Music Man)

I have NEVER met Cheyenne Jackson. I have never hung out with him in his dressing room, he did not tweet me, he never bought me a beverage, and he mostly certainly didn't tickle me. . .that is all.
