Beacon, a very late congratulations!! I haven't had time to read any of your questions/responses, so I apologize if this question has already been asked...

What was your first Broadway musical (if any) and what kind of impression did it make?

Hi Dottie.

I've never experience a Broadway musical live--but have through telecasts and cast recordings. And my mother plays piano and sang in a women's chorus (like Sweet Adelines) and showtunes were a big part of their repertoire.

The first cast recording I bought was "Godspell".

I'm not here a lot so I don't really know you, Beacon. But I must say that anyone who loves Patrick Wilson the way you do is a-ok in my book. Enjoy the rest of your reign.

I've just caught up on the posts since leaving work and I echo Undi's sentiments. Beacs, you make me smile! So glad DG picked you!

Thanks Miss Pennywise. It's nice to hear from someone who appreciates a truly fine obsession. :o)

And, thanks for the good wishes FidoRock! What language is that?

Bdwaygirl: Glad you got a smile out of those. No, if you can only convince Mister Wilson to do the same... :o)

(ooo.. and since there are so MANY haters on this board, I can't WAIT for the zenophobic and anglocentric threads to grow from this)..

Beacon1 -- what a great name.. does that mean you light the path to joy and sanity ? :)

Fidorock: Thanks for the cool link! (Cower in fear xenophobes!!!!)

And "Beacon1 -- what a great name.. does that mean you light the path to joy and sanity ? :)"

Yes! You get me! You totally get me! Now, run and tell Mister Wilson that it is safe to leave his panic room. :o)

Ah yes, obsession...you are very insightful, Miss Beacon, I do appreciate a good obsession. In fact, I have been known, over the years, to engage in obsessive behavior. My first really serious obsession was with F. Scott Fitzgerald. It started in high school and went on for about 15 years. At least your obsession is with someone who's LIVING!!! (And cute. Fitzgerald wasn't cute. But I doubt Patrick writes as well as F. Scott. Then again, who cares if he can write?????)

Sleep well... :o)

Tiff--

Thanks so much for the "tools of the stalking trade" and I just had to add another Tiff quote to my signature. :o)

Bravo Beac!

[bdwaygirl]

Posted: 2/6/06 at 9:15pm

Psst. I've said this before in relation to things and/or people I fixate on. He's not an obsession. He's your "hobby"!

[beacon1]

Posted: 2/6/06 at 9:16pm

Elphaba! That pic is fabulous---I need to copy it and print off copies to hang around my office (it's personnel evaluation time!)

CONGRATS BEACON

the cows bring in a new telescope and camera for you to watch mr.wilson all day

[beacon1]

Posted: 2/6/06 at 9:30pm

Thanks Harris. I need all the equipment I can get.

And, growing up in a dairy farming community, I do appreciate cows!

My favorite mug is one that has a cartoon by Susan Boynton. There has cows in various ballet poses and the caption is "Baryshnicows" (I had a real crush on Mikhail Baryshnikov and a co-worker found it for me!)

Oh, Beacon, you have done exactly what I knew you would - thank you, thank you. You are truly an inspiration in balanced living - and one of the VERY VERY VERY few people I've ever known that illustrates how to have a faith-based life and not make it a wall between you and the rest of the world.

You teach me, and I am so grateful for the opportunity.







And I'm still glad I get to see BAREFOOT before you descend on the theatre

Oh, DG, it's Misha! Perfect!

I wish I could have seen him dance. Thanks for posting that pic and for your kind and encouraging words.

And, if you stop at the Stage Door after Barefoot be sure to give Mister Wilson a hug and whisper "It's only a matter of hours, now..."

[bdwaygirl]

Posted: 2/6/06 at 9:47pm

beacs, you don't really want to forewarn him do you?

[beacon1]

Posted: 2/6/06 at 9:51pm

By that point, he'll be resigned to his fate. It's all part of The Master Plan.

Beacon - did you go on a mission?
