Not that it would ever happen... but Toni Collette would be brilliant.

The price was 36.50, no extra fees added.
I rushed on Sunday and was first in line. By the time they sold the tickets, there were probably 30 people in line. They told us they sold about 35 rush seats so after that some people counted down the line and just left anyway.
Does anyone know about the rush turning to lotto rumor? I keep hearing that from several people so I'm wondering if it's true. I heard Sunday was the last day for rush.

Even if you're sitting in the nosebleed seats at the Tony Awards, is it possible to be too dressed up?
My friend and I are going and both have long, fancy evening gowns/dresses to wear. It's kind of too close to Tony night to do anything about it at this point, but I like to know if advance if I'm going to look utterly ridiculous or not. :)

An Alice and Emily holiday album would be phenomenal.
I would love to hear Emily sing "O Holy Night"

I was there -- and I stayed for the entire thing. Mostly because I'm a huge fan of Emily Skinner and was so happy to see her on that stage.
The whole thing was... interesting. Some of the songs I thought were alright - but, that might just be because Emily was singing them (for me, anyway). The story wasn't very strong.
I did laugh when Emily said "she was preggers!!" -- um, was that a term in the 1940's? lol.

Emily skinner OWNS Poor Unfortunate Souls. Recently hearing her sing it at The Kennedy Center was a religious experience.
AMEN. That was unreal. I had heard it on the Raw at Town Hall CD... but seeing it live, oh my God. She is perfect for that role.

I got an incredibly sweet card/letter from Emily Skinner the other day. Took less than a week. :)
Also got a really sweet card from Beth Leavel about a week after seeing her out in San Diego.

There are so many from so many shows that I just can't get enough of... but LATELY, I can't stop listening to "Tunnel of Love" from Side Show. So random.

Oh, I absolutely love "Private Conversation" from Side Show!
I'm not a big fan of "Two of a Kind" from Lippa's Wild Party.
Also:
"Sentimental Man" and "Wonderful" from Wicked
"Razzle Dazzle" from Chicago
And while I loved the revival of 110 in the Shade, I really can't stand "Hungry Men"

Beth Leavel is just the sweetest person I've ever met period.
Danny Burstein is a sweetheart. Alice Ripley and Emily Skinner were both incredibly kind as well.
And Julia Murney.

I also went to the concert. Both Alice and Emily were absolutely perfect. Hands down, the best concert I have ever been to - and completely worth the bus ride from NYC to DC and back!
Oh, and it was even worth getting drenched at the stage door when the monsoon swept in.
The entire night was just... amazing.

Cindy Williams was sitting two rows in front of me at Drowsy shortly before she dropped into the show
I totally forgot - Cindy sat in front of me a few nights before she started in Drowsy. She was so into the show, it was great :)

I saw Kelly Clarkson and Reba M. at Mary Poppins last summer. Kenny G was at Chicago last June.
Oh, and Paul Newman at 110 in the Shade last year.
