..and I WOULD put the Witch in Into the Woods, but I once heard of a production where the witch turned into a man after the transformation. Like, the curse turned this man was punished by being turned into an ugly old hag. It sure gives new meaning to "What would you have me be? Handsome, like a prince?"

So yeah, I will make that happen eventually.

Has to be someone like you found someone like me..
Lucy of course! Say the show in Belfast and she blew me away. Some jaw dropping beautiful songs for Lucy in the show.

Probably Christine too just because it's such a well known and beautiful role.

Miss Saigon's Kim. Such passion.

Right, I'm off to the hospital...

"You have two kinds of shows on Broadway – revivals and the same kind of musicals over and over again, all spectacles. You get your tickets for The Lion King a year in advance, and essentially a family... pass on to their children the idea that that's what the theater is – a spectacular musical you see once a year, a stage version of a movie. It has nothing to do with theater at all. It has to do with seeing what is familiar.... I don't think the theatre will die per se, but it's never going to be what it was.... It's a tourist attraction." Stephen Sondheim
