"You know why I always play men? Because I'm good." You know how she was right in the faces of the people up front? Well, she said that line *right* in my face. It was pretty awesome. :)
I've always liked musicals, and my interest in them gradually increased as I got older and became exposed to more material. There was no specific show that "did me in". That being said, my first Broadway show was Beauty and the Beast, at age 5. Chicago was the first show I ever fell completely in love with, I think.
Everything about the show is terrible. Absolutely everything. Well, it's high energy! I had a fun, despite the fact that it's the worst piece of theatre I've ever witnessed.
I had tears streaming down my face for the entire second act of The Light In The Piazza. I'm not usually one to emote that much in public, but I couldn't control myself. I was a blubbering mess.
