I spent most of the Tonys watching the musical numbers and thinking, "Revival. Revival. Based on a movie. Revival. Based on 20-year-old metal music. Revival. Ooh, new musical [Next to Normal]!! Based on a movie. Revival..."
Yes. Lucky for you, people may be in danger.

Yeah, I don't get to see too many Broadway shows now, maybe two a year. My basic rules for picking which ones to see (if it's my choice -- sometimes, someone else in the family chooses) is that, if there's anything Sondheim playing, that's first, and I will not see shows which are based on pop music. So no Jersey Boys, Moving Out, Nine to Five, Rock of Ages, or Mamma Mia. I loved the movie of Mamma Mia, but if I've only got limited Broadway musical time, I want to see something that was written for Broadway.
Oddly enough, one of my favorite shows of the past few years was The Drowsy Chaperone, which I only saw because I was sent to TKTS with cash and instructions to get tickets for something that wasn't depressing, and all the other options that day were either potentially depressing or were revivals of things I'd seen a million times.

Thanks to Joel McHale, whom I love, you wouldn't believe all the rude Rock of Love comments cycling through my head right now, AIFG.

This is interesting--the CBC looks at a new thing called "the internet" in 1993.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
What? Crap! I thought someone was going to fucking HELP them!

~ma, Austin.
I don't think there was much of an expectation of being able to help the journalists before N Korea got to have the trial - after all they did sneak into the country so as crazy as we might think the gov't there was a legitimate complaint. It's only after N Korea can claim they're convicted spies, and subject to punishment that negotiations can really begin.
