I recently found out that Paula Vogel went to my high school and also had her life turned around by the drama teacher. He turned my life around too - for better or worse :-)

I understand. I only get to NY twice a year, but fortunately, I can stay for several days and drain my bank account at will :-) I think Lion King is a breathtaking night in the theatre. Even if it is Lion King...

“Miss Saigon” is one of those shows that’s more like a chain restaurant than a musical. Jesse Green in the NYT live chat. I laughed.

Which is too bad. The number didn't come off well on TV, but the show is quite lovely. Miss Saigon, otoh, is a show I don't need to see again. That was really melodramatic.

Honestly, I listened to the cast album and I won't be buying it. If I'd relied on that to persuade me to see the show, I wouldn't have gone. Not that it's bad, it's just really not my thing. But it works brilliantly in the show. I felt the same way about Natasha, Pierre. Hated the album, but I'd already bought the tickets. Thank goodness! The show is fab.

Come From Away? It's really good. Much better than I was expecting.

Who was that introducing The Rock?

And I love Scarlett's dress!

I think that was wonderful!

That's okay, he turned it around on himself.

I'm loving this opening so far.

Really not much to say other than there's no pitching. There are a few injuries. And we suck. No one has offered up any solutions that I've heard.

Has Red Carpet stuff already started? And I'll just say now that I like Kevin Spacey and I hope he does well tonight.

Os should be relegated. I will say that Aaron Judge kid is really, really good. Dammit.

Went to see Rhiannon Giddens last month. She is amazing! Tonight, we're going to see Paul Simon. And as an added bonus, the weather here is spectacular, so it should be a beautiful evening on all counts!

It seems it's definitely gonna end tonight. Although after the last 2 nights, I guess I should wait until at least the 8th before I throw in the towel.

How 'bout dem Os?!?! Two nights in a row. I don't think my delicate constitution can take this often...but I'll somehow manage :-)

We stopped in Louisville on our drive to see games in St Louis and Kansas City back in 1998. It's a wonderful place!

I love the movie. I'm not sold on it becoming a musical though. Not everything has to be turned into a musical.

Ann-Margret was in a show at the theatre where I worked (I don't remember which show and I'm not going to look it up now) and Roger Smith was always there with her, carrying her little yappy dog in a basket. He was very nice. And so was she. RIP ETA: I looked it up - it was Best Little Whorehouse in Texas

I hate this guy and the whole concept soooooo much. Seriously, just untuck a regular shirt. I don't even want to know how much these crappy shirts cost. It did make me laugh that in one of those coupon mailers that come to my house monthly there was a coupon for this stupid company. So he already needs to go the junk mail route. Ha!

We'll be up there the last weekend in August. I was thinking of trying to go to a game on Staten Island... if there aren't enough shows for me to see. We'll see how it plays out.

I bought this set a couple of years ago. It's great! And, as pointed out, cheap!!

I am a Pelley fan and I'm furious that he's being taken off the Evening News. I'm glad he'll still be on 60 Minutes, but I don't know what Les is thinking. I can't imagine I'll continue watching.

I bought some many months ago at Target. It was the only place I could find it around here. As far as "improving" scents, Victoria's Secret has totally ruined the Vanilla Lace body lotion. Texture-wise and scent-wise. I'm distraught.
