Cheyenne Jackson tickled me. AFTER ordering SoMMS a drink but NOT tickling him, and hanging out with Girly in his dressing room (where he DIDN'T tickle her) but BEFORE we got married. To others. And then he tweeted Boobs. He also tweeted he's good friends with some chick on "The Voice" who just happens to be good friends with Tink's ex. And I'm still married.

I second the headdesking Margo.
It started as a play, and I believe is still one of the longest running thrillers. Had several major cast changes, including Robert Reed of "Brady Bunch" fame. My lighting project was on this play, and it's a lot of fun.

Posted: 4/21/07 at 3:31pmAnd it's probably had more than 10,000 productions around the country since the 70s. It seemed like every college, dinner theatre, community theatre and semi-professional company did the damn thing at one point or another for the next 20 years afterwards (partly because it's cheap and only needs one set and a small cast, plus audiences loved it). By comparison, the movie barely caused a blip on the radar.

Posted: 4/21/07 at 3:32pmThey should also make a Broadway version of the film "Dreamgirls", I saw it the other day and I thought it would be good on Broadway. :P

Posted: 4/21/07 at 3:36pmI'm listening to the soundtrack to COMPANY, starring some Raul person. I've never seen the movie, but it sounds like it'd be AWESOME on Broadway!

Posted: 4/21/07 at 3:38pmehhh, a stage version of Dreamgirls would be horrible. I don't see it working. I mean, Beyonce created that role, and IMO, no one else would be able to do it justice.

I'd like to see a non-musical version of HAIRSPRAY on the big screen.
I know. Crazy talk.

Posted: 4/21/07 at 3:43pmI know! Like, the other day, I saw this other Jennifer woman, trying to copy Jennifer Hudson's song - like she even sang the song the same way, but she was, really, like, older....not cool to try to copy Jennifer Hudson after she won the Oscar and everything.

I read that the music for the SWEENEY TODD movie was written by Sondheim. I'm sure it's going to be AWESOME!
Do you think they'll write it for a Broadway musical too?
