Originally, it was announced that Laurents was going to be there too, but I guess he's not anymore. Too bad.

"I have also met him in person, and I find him to be quite funny actually. Arrogant and often misinformed, but still funny."

I wonder if Benanti will be there. She's been out of the show with an injury for a few days now.
"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe."

^^^^^6 Really? I saw Gypsy on Sunday, and she was in.

Laura herniated the disc right underneath the fused ones from Into The Woods. She took Tuesday off (when it happened), and yesterday off to be at the doctors, and will be back in the show tonight. She will also be at the CD signing this afternoon. LauraBenanti.com

Ha, I wish I could leave early, but I don't think I could ever leave early enough. I got there just after 4:30 for the Xanadu In-Store a while back (I believe it was a 5:30pm event) and didn't get in. I can't imagine the line that this event is going to form. If it's at 5...plan on getting there before 4, I'd imagine. Younger appreciators aren't back in school yet, so they can get there as early as possible, and older and/or retired patrons can get there super early too, I'd imagine. Good luck to everyone who heads out! I can't afford to miss the two or three hours of work to guarantee a spot...
