Posted: 2/23/05 at 7:43pmI would think so too, Magruder - and the rest of the cast ain't shabby at all! That's also a great pic of him on the Playbill site.

Now, DGrant, why would I want to kill you? You performed a gesture of kindess and I expressed my appreciation.
Besides, I've said it before, I find you scintillating.

Posted: 2/23/05 at 9:23pmI think Blair will be a great Purlie. I would've loved to see Norm Lewis in the part, but that couldn't happen because of DESSA ROSE. I have no doubt that Blair will blow me and everybody else away.

"Do you know what pledge time is, Andrew"? said the PBS Executive.
"Yes", Lloyd Webber replied. "My 50th birthday special must be one program that gets done a lot."
"No", mused the man from PBS heedlessy. "Not so much. Our Stephen Sondheim Carnegie Hall concert. That's a big one."
Spoons, forks and knives seemed suddenly to suspend their motion in horror, all around the table.
