I have resolved that the next time I hear some redneck grouse about hippies, I'm going to pipe up with "Yeah, who would ever want to listen to a long haired sandal-wearing anti-establishment peacenik yammer about love and tolerance? People like that ought to be strung up or something."
"Oh, wait..."
fourth wall! fourth wall!!
What won Best Musical? Stupid running over-time.
My big issue with Hair was several scenes where people got high while taking care of kids.
Also, I can not hear Oh What A Night without being taken back to my sorority days. Was that other places, or just for me? I'm literally chanting Greek letters in my head while I'm hearing it.
Ah, Pacific Coast time, how I hate you.
Man, the sound for the first big number was CRAP. And speaking of crap, Shrek the Musical looks really bad.
I was disappointed that they picked Mambo rather than America for the song to perform from West Side Story. I was really interested to hear how that one sounded in Spanish.
Jesse - it was
Billy Elliott
for anyone still watching.
Very excited for orchestration and music for Next to Normal - wen to college with him, friends with his wife.
Both my CBS stations were plagued by different sorts of transmission problems. The frequency of which seem to be proportional to how much I want to watch a show... I don't think The Tonight Show has ever experienced technical difficulties on this cable system, but I might as well have been watching Dollhouse on Youtube through a dial-up connection.
WRT the Tony Awards. I am so excited for
Oskar Eustis. He used the be the artistic director at the theater in RI that I go to all the time.
