I don't think anyone has ever sung "Another Hundred People" as well as the original woman. Pamela Myers, I think.
My god...he's gonna do the whole speech.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I was really happily surprised by Christina Hendricks. She has such a strong physical presence that it's easy to forget that she is such a talented actress. She created a distinct character and her comedic timing was impeccable. I liked Annika Noni Rose, but I agree about the amazingness of the original woman.

I thought the book was impressively not dated, considering.
I meant to answer this earlier. I just meant stuff like the "generation gap" and the passiveness of the women Bobby dates made it feel very much of its era to me. I still love it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I thought Martha Plimpton was great, but Katie Finneran was probably my favorite. People in the theater went BONKERS for LuPone.
Seeing Company and Beginners back-to-back should make for a pretty reflective weekend for this late-30s single lady, I tell you what.

How was Colbert?

Colbert was...not as good as I would have wished. He did something funky with his voice during his solo. He was funny in the comedy bits with Martha Plimpton, though.

I agree. Liked his acting. His singing was a little, I dunno, thin. Yeah, Finneran was fantastic.

And it wasn't at all awkward that I was there with a married couple!

If X-Men is still at my little theatre I'm considering a matinee.
