I'd like to propose something worthy of 16th century Arcadia: an Ode in Praise of HEAD OVER HEELS. For those who don't know, last month a new musical, HEAD OVER HEELS, opened on Broadway. The music combines a Renaissance source text, Sir Phillip Sidney's 'The Arcadia,' with the music of the Go-Go's to create an adult fairy tale. Not only is the musical incredibly fun, hilarious, and heartwarming, but it is also incredibly important.

Guys: It's official. This week, 'Heaven is a Place on Earth' because we're laughing and sharing a few cocktails with Bonnie Milligan, the breakout star of Broadway's Head Over Heels!
