So tonight, this concert series called "Ambivalent Broadway" featured David Yazbek. He was there, performing a bit, and talking about writing his songs and funny stories and such. Performers included Sherie, Jason Gillman, Christian Anderson (he played Jerry in The Full Monty tour), John Ellison Conlee (original Dave in TFM) and Sean Altman and the GrooveBarbers (otherwise known as Rockapella!)
Will go into more details tomorrow but Sherie sang Here I Am (soo great to hear again), the Nothing is too wonderful jazz version, and a song David wrote called "Everything You Want." Richard did Chimp in a Suit. Meh. Jason took the part of Malcolm in TFM song "Big Ass Rock" (where Jerry and Dave sing he's got a friend b/c true friends will help you kill yourself--he did a great job of course)--and...Great Big Stuff--semi-staged. David told him to do it as Broadway as he could, so he put up jazz hands. Heh. But yeah, he did what he could, the 'pooring out my ass" part, the dance that followed, the robot dance, some random dancing during some musical parts when there wasn't the ensemble that was pretty funny...and yeah, to see it performed again even semi-choreographed...was so great.
So there were songs from TFM, DRS, David's own songs AND the songs of Rockapella. Sean Altman (for anyone that watched Carmen San Diego--he was the guy with the blonde dreads who had the first solo in the song--he's the only one I ever remembered) was close with David, and that's how he wrote the Carmen San Diego theme song that they sang each episode. And all of Rockapelle performed it! Hehehe. Childhood regression. Where in the world is...(deep voice) Carmen San Diego. ahh, that was awesome.
So yeah, like I said will go into more specifics tomorrow, all the songs and performers, funny moments, stories, what David talked about, etc.
We all clapped at the repition of Where in the world like the audience would as they came onto the country map...ahh, childhood memories.

So I was sitting in my cubicle today, and I realized, ever since I started working, every single day of my life has been worse than the day before it. So that means that every single day that you see me, that's on the worst day of my life.~Office Space

I just want to share that I finished my application for the University of the South (aka Sewanee in Tennessee) today!
Yeah I guess that's all. Rather boring now that I think about it.
I LOVE GREG JBARA! Whoo!

College apps are an ass.
It created such drama in my family when my brother did it, so I'll say congrats!

Posted: 11/1/06 at 10:32pmthere was a bit of drama in my family too. But it all worked out when i got accepted into my first choice and didn't have to apply to any others.

Not much Dre. Urinetown is playing here off off Bway in Brooklyn. It's the last weekend and I'm a bum and haven't gotten tix and now it's soldout. I'm gonna call and maybe get cancellation tickets. I'm such a douche.
Gotta write my Sweeney paper this week. Hehe. I'm excited.
Yeah, even I haven't posted as much as usual. I was kind of trying to figure out why and I think I did--last year, I was home, and well second semester only one friend was even in close proximity, whereas now I have friends in the dorm, so whereas last year I was often home and on BWW I end up in other rooms and going out and having a life occassionally. I suppose it's nice...but I do miss BWW when a full day goes by without my posting.
Still trying to win the damn chorus line lotto. And gah, gotta see Company soon.

sweet! I would have loved to have seen it too. tell me how Company is.
yeah, I don;t know why I haven't been on as much. maybe cause I was SM for Urinetown. or maybe cause Greg doesn't really have his cam on anymore. or maybe cause DRS closed and there is not that much to talk about. i mean. I don;t want it to be like that, but it's probably true.
i do miss talking to you guys!
