Holiday Inn Live Blog

Tonight, Broadway HD is doing a live stream of Holiday Inn on Broadway.  That's why I now find myself on the sofa, warm and cozy, watching it with the bestie.  And what better way to accompany a live stream than with a live blog?  Probably many things, but I like the idea so I'm sticking with it : )

7:45 - Technical difficulties that apparently Twitter is quite angry about...

8:03 - Still having issues...Come on Broadway HD, get it together!

8:16 - Website down, and the FB stream of the opening number has now ended.  This was a whole lot smoother when we saw She Loves Me...

8:22 - The Live stream finally started - yay!  We've missed the first 22 minutes of the show - boo!

8:24 - There's now an inn - I wish I knew what happened in the first 22 minutes that made them leave showbiz for an inn..But hey, Blue Skies!

8:28 - Do you think if I showed up to an old house, a cute guy would sing and dance with me?

8:30 - This story is just a wee bit different than the old movie.

8:31 - How did the kid from High School Musical become a Broadway star?

8:32 - Hey, they sang this song on MASH! (We're having a heat wave, a tropical heat wave...)

8:33 - I feel like if we'd seen the first 22 minutes, it might make more sense why one dude is still performing and one owns an inn.

8:34 - This audience doesn't sound like they're enjoying the show at all - and they didn't even have to deal with the missed 22 minutes.

8:35 - This main guy could have been played by Blake on Madam Secretary.  They could be twins!

8:36 - Why is there a kid delivering bank notices? 

8:40 - Ok, the turkey outfits are super cute!

8:45 - Watching Broadway with a Golden Retriever staring at you is a little disconcerting.

8:45 - I wish we lived in a time when kids dropped by with homemade pies.

8:50 - The cleaning lady is very funny!  And apparently she went to my college - cool!

8:51 - And we've reached some more technical difficulties...ugh.

9:01 - It's Christmas for a moment (and it was just Thanksgiving before the technical issues!)

9:02 - Buffering....

9:07 - So in place of Holiday Inn which is still buffering, the Coro-Knee-tion of King George III the Fifth (Hamilton) will totally work in a pinch. 

9:08 - Now it's New Years, for about 7 seconds.  Then it's buffering again.

9:10 - #NetflixDoesn'tHaveTheseProblems (This is a solid bestie quote!)

9:14 - Intermission! And we only saw about 20 minutes.  Fabulous...

I feel as this Live Stream may be a bit boring - seeing as the show is still buffering.  So I'm calling it a wash and ending it at Intermission.  This time tomorrow, I may still be trying to watch this darn show...If so, I'll fill you in on the 20 more minutes I've actually seen.  Night!
