Well, I finally figured out how to bring up the Cincinatti trip to my dad. I'm giving him the tickets (and a long note explaining) as a Christmas present and him taking me will be a birthday present, so it all works out. We'll be there opening night.
Cincinatti is much cheaper to travel to than NYC, so it's really not that bad. I've traveled there for the sake of one actor, so I don't see how this is any different. Like ang said, it's an adventure.
Oh, and I was reading back through the main board over the past few days and discovered that once again, something went wrong at Chitty and the cast entertained them AND Raúl stagedoored. This blows. What's worse is my most-hated poster on BWW was the one that was there! *kicks something*

Back in Jersey. Ehh. But, yay to everyone going to 'Company'!! Maybe skittles and I'll be there at the same time. I'm seeing the first preview, and you're seeing it 2 nights later, right? Hmm, ok everyone, Happy Holidays (hope that was PC enough!)
I'll have to sit my mom down and have a serious planning discussion about Cincinatti, because it's getting close enough that "yeah, okay... we'll talk about it" isn't good enough anymore. We need dates and air fares and things.

*hugs thread*
Hi everyone! Can't stay but I miss this thread. I think my family from Texas is going to see Chitty this week. They have little kids who love the movie apparently. I wish I could go but yay for them!
awwww chitty! i'm not going to be able to see it again before it closes. i'm a little sad about that.
but AWESOME NEWS!!! my brother is AMAZING. he asked me what i wanted for christmas and i said "something broadway." he knows NOTHING about broadway...has NO idea who Raúl is or anything. but i'll be damned if he didn't get my the TTB cast recording (which i didn't have.) I LOVE MY BROTHER!!! haha.

My brother was awesome this year too: He is really conservative but he actually went out and bought me Anthony Rapp's CD- I wonder if he actually looked on the back and saw the love song to a guy? I would have loved to have seen his face if he did, lol (religion major- he's really nice, but would probably cry if he found out his little sister was bisexual).
I heart TTB- I honestly listened to it thinking that it probably wasn't that good, but wanted to hear everything Jonathan Larson. It is just so great though!
I hope everyone's holidays went well (and/or are still going well )Yeah for *cough*forced*cough* family togetherness *ahem* lol.
I was watching the Top 100 Child Stars countdown on VH1 and they had a segment on Molly Ringwald. They talked about what she's doing now and said she was working onstage. They mentioned Cabaret specifically and showed a poster from the show with Raul on it too. I was like "That's Raul Esparza!" all excited and my sister just kind of stared at me. Meh.
My immediate family exchanges presents tomorrow, so I'll get back to y'all on the Company thing. *fingers crossed*
Oh, I saw that skittles. Alas, I was alone so I couldn't spread the love. That sounded wrong. Ah well.
Oh and...CHRYS WHERE ARE YOU? I'm looking forward to showing the picture of Michael and I to my mom (who likes him quite a bit, and is actually younger than him. Is that wrong?) At least she has good taste.
ETA: This is kinda sad that I'm sharing, but if you go to imdb.com and click on one of the links at the bottom of the first page that says UnChristmas Christmas Movies (or something like that) and then click on number 1, it shows a pic of Raul for/from 'Chitty'. It made me smile. Thought I'd be a dork and share that.
Wait, on IMDB? Raul? But they meant Chitty the movie?
Anyway, closing. My dad is cool with me going, my mom isn't. She says she doesn't want me in the area on New Years' Eve -- or rather, "you don't want to be around there after 11 in the morning." She says if I want to say goodbye, though, she'll let me go in on Friday night, only if I can get rush tickets.
My brother had been hounding me, saying he wanted to see it again, so I invited him, but he went "no, I don't want to be gay." As if he could... catch it?
So, that said, are any of you ladies planning to go on Friday... or would you want to meet me and go? PM/e-mail/IM me -- something.
I'm still going to see if I can get my mom to be okay with closing, but if not, I'd like to go on Friday.
