Friday Five

1. Excuse the language on this one, but it's amazing!  Our President's press conference yesterday was ridiculous to say the least, and Seth lets him have it for it.  
            

2. Seeing a show I've never seen before live.  I had read Peter and the Starcatcher but never caught it on Broadway.  So when Bowie Playhouse announced they'd be doing it, I was pretty excited.  I gotta say, even though the actors were pretty great, the show is still just as weird as it was when I read it.  I just don't get it.  But the rest of the audience seemed to love it, so maybe there's something wrong with me...

3. The best news I've heard all week is the casting of Miranda Hart as Mrs. Hanigan in Annie in the West End.  I've been wanting to see Miranda Hart in something fabulous since her television show went off the air, and now that I'll be in England this summer, this is the perfect excuse.  I'm pretty sure she'll be brilliant!

4. I'm sort of a sucker for Children's books about very diverse things.  I like kids books to share stories about lives in other places or about things that you don't usually see kids books about.  Add to that, great art that I've always loved and you've got a winner.  That's why I'm pretty excited about this kids book about Keith Haring.  I've always loved his simple drawings (his artwork was the logo for the original Falsettos!) and now there's a great kids book about his life and why art's so important.  Can't wait to snag it!

5. Coming from someone who saw this show in person, I have to say that this review is spot on!  I'm so happy for Brandon Uranowitz and also I'm pretty happy for me, because with reviews like this, it means he's gotta do another engagement, right?!
