>Today is amazing… we have a new president-elect who will (I believe) make amazing changes to the way this country takes care of its resident and neighbors. This is “the good.” I unfortunately passed out from a severe migraine during the hubbub last night, but did manage to wake up in time for the official…

>It’s like an Agatha Christie novel over here!
>Yep, as the news has posted, HAIRSPRAY will likely be the next victim of the de-gaying of Broadway. (Of course, I’m being silly about the de-gaying. The gay is here for good.) According to Broadwayworld.com, the hit musical will close on January 18, 2009 after more than six years. A moment of silence please.(shhh) Ok,…

>Legally Brown: Episode 2
>Episode 2 of “Legally Brown: The Search for the Next Piragua Guy” is on Youtube. It is so FRICKIN’ funny I could just spit. But that’s nasty. Instead, I did a little dance on the sofa. For $40 I’ll do it at parties. Until you have $40, watch the clip below and enjoy with me.

>Suddenly, the wheels are in motion… straight outta town!
> (Photo by Paul Kolnik. Courtesy of Playbill.com) It is officially the saddest day in the theatre industry. Xanadu has announced its closing. I love this show.

>Today, DreamWorks Theatricals released the first photo of Brian D’Arcy James as Shrek… the upcoming Broadway stage musical based on the first film and the children’s book by William Steig. Not too bad. I was a touch nervous about this adaptation but BDJ actually looks pretty cool. According to this article it took 2 hours…

The sky is falling…
So a piece of the sky just fell… well, a piece of the ceiling. And I’m so gay that I immediately thought of this classic Golden Girls moment.

>Sorry for the long delay in posting… more details about the new life in NYC are forthcoming. Patience is a virtue… so is internet access. But until I get to that, be sure to check out the new TKTS Booth opening in Brooklyn next week! Enjoy!http://farm.sproutbuilder.com/462641/load/hQBvbxBLBzvSqhx4.swf

>Show choir and Bridezillas!
>So, I follow several Broadway themed blogs… including Andrew Keenan-Bolger’s. He recently posted a clip of the failed (maybe?) MTV series SHOW CHOIR and it made me (for about ten minutes) obsessively look up other YouTube videos of show choirs in all their sequined glory. I found this… and about died. No offense to anyone…

>GREASE to get Speared?
>I’m incredibly conflicted. Broadwayworld.com posted this news piece about 3 hours ago and I’ve been struggling with this ever since. On the one hand, I loved Britney up through (and including) her STRONGER phase. She was fun, we all enjoyed her. We thought, “Now that is a good 2.5 minutes of pure bubble gum pop.”…
