I need to listen to the entirety of Taboo sometime.

A guy in my house insulted it the other day. :O

It IS by a washed-up popstar; Taboo doesn't sound promising (part of its reason for being a box office failure, I think). Introduce him to the music and see if he changes his mind. It's great.

Knock, knock, anybody home? Those screencaps made my night! Now I need to actually hear him sing the song!

In other news, I visited a used books store this evening, and found The Normal Heart! After hearing so much about it from Emcee especially, I couldn't pass up the chance... $5!

It was a HUGE store, with books basically up to the ceiling, all in piles and hapharzardly placed on shelves... I loved it! I was in the theatre section, and this little red book caught my eye. I saw "Normal Heart, The" and grabbed it. I can't wait to read it.

Yay, Emcee! You've made my play collection (which before consisted of... well, nothing) grow in leaps and bounds! I am so heading back to that bookshop on Monday!

That interview is indeed very precious. It had to be very awkward to play someone who everyone wants more of, you know? Its true when he says that people go there to see him to see Larson. That musical means so much to me, and I can see how it can mean the world to him. I hope there is a movie made of this after rent comes out. maybe the producers of rent will see the rentheads and cash in on them. I know he has said he is too old to play larson again, but I think if they decide to make a movie of this, it NEEDS to be him.

I bought Angels in America the other day, Nia, and I started reading it yesterday! But I'm definitely looking for other ones. I have a huge list of ones we're looking at in my theatre class, but I'll add those other three to my ever-growing list!

Great, great theatre. You won't regret reading them.

Mebice, I completely agree. He needs to play Jonathan.

I'm really tired and headachey, so I'm heading out. *waves* 'night, lovelies.
