I'm so glad I'm not alone with my take on Hilty. I TOTALLY AGREE about her comedic timing. that was the main thing that bothetred me last night. sometimes i felt like she was trying to do an impression of kristin..but would then "forget" and it would be like she was playing a totally different character. eh, who knows. also..idina's gasping. thats something i have noticed all three times i have seen her, however it was even more noticeable last night...and I was in row M orch. i was in your s...

Ok, I know I may be biased...but I just wanted to talk a little bit about Penn State University's program. PSU's BFA musical theater program is one of the top theater schools in the country. I believe last year it was rated 3rd just behind CCM and Michigan. When I was applying to schools I was accepted to Ithaca, Syracuse, NYU-Cap21, Point Park and Elon.
