1. The rave reviews that Hello Dolly! is getting is making my wait until next month seem that much longer. It sounds like Bette Midler and David Hyde Pierce are positively delightful - and really, was there ever any doubt? I cannot wait to see it in all its glory!
2. This guy has some serious determination. Andy Karl is a Maryland guy which makes me love him even more than I already did. And his work in Groundhog day is gaining some rave reviews as well. But when he hurt his knee 2 days before opening, everyone thought he'd never make opening night. But somehow - knee brace, torn ACL and all - he managed to sing and dance his way to a standing ovation when the curtain came up. Love it!
3. Saw someone post a quote on Twitter this week that perfectly sums up my very existence: "I'm sorry for the things I said when it was Winter!" : )
4. Ok, I've been holding on to this one for the last few weeks. I'm sure everyone's seen it by now, but at the time it premiered, I may have gushed just a little too much and thought that blogging about it would be overkill. Andrew Rannells singing Smash on Girls. Seriously. The song is fabulous. However, what I loved about this episode was the 10 minutes after this when he had to prove that he could not only dance (he can) but dance with basketballs (he can't). I've honestly never laughed so hard at 3 minutes of television in my life, but I can't seem to find it anywhere online. So if you have HBO, do yourself a favor and watch it (Excuse the language though, it is HBO not CBS...). If not, this 40 second snippet of his beautiful voice will just have to tide you over.
5. I sort of love having the chance to learn way cool things about Social Media. There's something in the works that's pushed me to learn, and I've been having a lot of fun with it. Don't get me wrong, I'm not Lin Manuel Miranda yet but I'm at least getting a wee bit better!
