I was obsessed with Shoshana in Hairspray as Shelly. I would watch her and think "Wow, she's going to be huge!".
I also have a mini obsession with Stacey Todd Holt of The Producers. Last year when Nathan and Matthew came back, I saw their second performance and Roger Bart was out. Stacey was Carman Ghia that day and he was fabulous! I thought that nobody could do a better job in that role. Since then, I've seen the Producers 3 more times and I hope there's a little white paper with his name on it. I've been really disappointed with the other Carman Ghia's that I've seen and think Stacey should have the role. He played the wooden man, yadda yadda, one other time but I wish they'd give him Carmen Ghia already.

Posted: 7/9/05 at 10:41pmOh Madame X, you said it. Why hasn't Joyce Chittick been given a major role yet? She's so wonderful. I remember when she was a tiny teenager working as a swing in Cats. Now she's a Broadway vet. My, how time flies.

"Leslie Kritzer as Shelley!"
Yes and double yes.
She's fantastic. I was floored by her kindness at the stagedoor when I saw 'Hairspray' last month. She was an absolute sweetheart. My friend and I must have talked to her for about ten minutes on everything as far as Broadway was concerned; how she got started, what she did, what we should do- she was wonderfully sweet.
Aside from being incredibly polite, she can really, really sing. I hope for nothing but the best for her in the future. I believe she said that the week we saw her was her final one in the show and she was starting rehearsals for an Off-Broadway play and I feel awful not remembering the title, but she seemed very excited about it.
Hopefully, I'll get a chance to see her. I just think she's great. :)
i'm a tough act to follow because when i'm done i take the microphone with me.

So I was sitting in my cubicle today, and I realized, ever since I started working, every single day of my life has been worse than the day before it. So that means that every single day that you see me, that's on the worst day of my life.~Office Space

Posted: 7/9/05 at 11:29pmDaniel Torres and Kevin Kern, the two understudies in Altar Boyz. I saw Kevin as Mark, and he was absolutely PHENOMENAL. Daniel is also the sweetest person I've EVER met. And apparently, Kevin pointed me and my "C is for Crunk shirt"(show related ...) out to people. Daniel is so unbelievably talented, and his last day in Altar Boyz, along with the regular Mark, Tyler Maynard, is tomorrow, July 10th. They are both SO amazing. Ah, sorry, that was me doing my Altar Boyz love on the last night with the original cast. Forgive me. But anyways, Daniel and Kevin are amazing. If you want, go to www.danieltorres.net and listen to him. He's PHENOMENAL.
