Em, the friend on facebook...was that the friend we were talking about?
Elphie..it's understandable how you feel about High School. It is unnecessary, but understandable. Honestly, I was totally fine. I didn't love high school, but I didn't detest it. But I knew I wouldn't miss anyone, because anyone worth missing I would stay in touch with. And that totally happened. Sure, it's different, and we've become more different, but there's still the closeness. And college/post High School is just such an amazing experience. For me, BWW is part of my "college" experience. And when I see my HS friends, I talk about how for the first time I really feel like I belong, and it makes it easier to chill w/ my HS friends, not feeling the need to talk about Broadway 24/7. You find your niche, and yourself. And some aspects of HS seem so--fake? irrelevant? That's a better word.
And if nothing else--the best way to look at it is...you will see and keep in touch with the people you liked, and hopefully never see the people you disliked. See? Can't get better than that
I saw Tarzan as well(hi Undi, since I don't know if we actually said hi last night) and liked it. I agree that some of them didn't look like monkeys, but I really enjoyed the show, flaws and all. The cast was brilliant, and it was fun. I was in the front and got...sniffed, jumped over, and nearly kicked. Fun times.

"If there was a Mount Rushmore for Broadway scores, "West Side Story" would be front and center. It snaps, it crackles it pops! It surges with a roar, its energy and sheer life undiminished by the years" - NYPost reviewer Elisabeth Vincentelli
