I was at a brutal funeral last December, an unexpected suicide by a father of a three year old! Yikes, that was tough.

That sucks. That just seems so selfish. I always think in situations like that that they must have needed some sort of medication. I know medication can't solve everything but it can really help some people. My one daughter had some problems with depression and since she's been on medication she feels like a different person.

Did I miss Baddy? I wanted to let her know that her ears should have been ringing tonight.

Decided this a.m. that I really should get my a** to SWEENEY, so I called and ordered a ticket for tonight.

It was my first time seeing LuPone live - good heavens - the woman is a GOD. Completely, effortlessly, beyond perfection! Not one person on that stage could hold a candle to her, in my opinion. She made them all look like amateurs! And it's a pretty talented lot.

I did see the Circle in the Square production, and I prefer Gunton's Todd to Cerveris, which surprised me. I expected to be mad about Cerveris - it was my first time seeing him as well. I'm very glad I went, if for no other reason that to have experienced the magic of LuPone.

Suicide can indeed be deemed a selfish act - but it's because someone is finally trying to find an end to their own suffering.

Be thankful you've never been in that position.

I snagged a ticket for Wednesday night. I'd never seen any other production. Have only seen Patti in Noises Off. Saw Cerveris in Assassins. Cerveris gave me the willies watching him. Kinda glad I wasn't in the first two rows.

Ms. LuPone was a force of nature in Evita - it was like standing in the direct path of a hurricane.

I thought Patti was excellent. I must admit that I didn't have high hopes. I didn't agree with all of Ms. LuPone's choices in the 2001 concert production. However, come Broadway, her balance of sensual venality was just right. She was the highlight of a fine evening.

Let's face it, though, that score still gives me chills.

I think I will forever hold my "Sweeney" experience as one of the highlights of theater in my life.

Saw Boobs was up, so I got some coffee ready.

*grabs some of that coffee*

Girly, he gave me chills when he first "entered," but then that was it. I felt like he was playing everything externally. And when he was in a scene but not singing, it was like he wasn't even there.

Have a great day, smokers (and DG.)!

Mmmmmm..... coffee! Morning all, and HAPPY FRIDAY!

Good mornin' all. Anyone have a cuppa? It's dark and rainy and windy outside. I think Miss P and I might miss our dinner and a show today. Just too yucky outside!

A reminder to any who're interested - the single tickets for NYMT events are now on sale. I got mine this morning for the flea market weekend!

[mominator]

Posted: 9/1/06 at 7:37am

Mamie, flea market? woo hoo maybe we should all wear nametags! (Just kidding!)

[Mamie]

Posted: 9/1/06 at 7:48am

I'm going back to bed. Maybe I can sleep through whats left of Ernesto.....

[Bluemoon]

Posted: 9/1/06 at 8:31am

Good Friday morning everyone! A rainy, blustery day here and Ernesto hasn't even hit us yet. The ride home should be interesting today.

Did someone say there was coffee?

*hugs Moony and hands her a large cup of java*

[miss pennywise]

Posted: 9/1/06 at 8:45am

I'm drinking mine now.

This has probably been said by others far wiser and wittier (and quicker) than I, but I was just thinking how each morning's "chuckle" is really a "boobs lift"!

Tell me if I'm years behind the times.

Posted: 9/1/06 at 9:11am

Morning Miss P....this job is keeping me from playing..not fair....don't they know it's Friday...AND a holiday weekend?

[Mamie]

Posted: 9/1/06 at 9:26am

Miss P - this is early for you! I have to start each day with Boobs' chuckle BEFORE the first cup of caffeine. It's that critical to starting the day!
