Song from BARE that I love:
Are You There? -- I love the tension in the melody line and how it sets up the romantic conflict.
You And I -- it just rocks.
Role Of A Lifetime -- a great way to describe the closet and feeling lost when you're in love with a closet case.

Please not us make any mention of the monkeys. For the first 8 years of my life I watched The Wizard of Oz with a blanket over my head, so I could cover my eyes whenever they appeared on screen.
AG, it's so funny you should mention that random monkey noise. I was listening to um... what was I listening to last night, uh... this thing... that happened to appear in my ears... yes... um, so, anyway... I was listening to this thing and I hear this squawking noise and what do you know, it's the monkey with his random noises!
Since we've now cast the roles of Glinda, Elphaba, and Fiyero, surely we need a Wizard and who better than the artist known as BlueWizard? Methinks we might have a Tony winning revival right here on this thread and W***** hasn't even closed yet!
Trisky, I didn't post on you LJ but I can't believe you saw my former dream BF! I am so jealous!
I seriously do not know when Joshua Jackson became hot, but he was unbelievably hot last night. This is why I sometimes love the NYC subway system!
About whether Bare can make the move to Broadway. Provided they were in a small enough house, I think it could transfer in terms of the production being believable and still intimate. However, the question is are they capable of selling those tickets? It doesn't appear to me that the tickets at Dodger's are selling all that quickly, but this might be a case of it needing to re-open again and having it spread by word of mouth before you can really gauge it's ability to fill the seats.

I have to say, I think this has become my favorite song. The lyrics are pure poetry. I also think Michael imbues it with such vocal nuance that you simply can't get it out of your head.

Sigh. Have I mentioned how much I hate Jesus Christ Superstar yet? Used to love it, but now that I'm in it (and this production really isn't looking pretty so far), not so much.
But yes, Bare. Umm... anyone want to see me and 13 jello wrestle for John Hill's affection?
mmm...jello and John Hill...my two favorite things...
I say we just smear the jello all over John and then the two of you can do battle about who can get it off him more quickly using nothing but your mouths. Have at it.
Yeah, that gets my vote, too!

You know how when you lie down in bed and then close your eyes that you're supposed to sleep? Le sigh. I remember the days of sleep. :P
Anyhoo, we have a sighting. A friend of mine in L.A went to see Hairspray last night for the John Hill! And who does she see at stage door? Michael, Jenna and she thinks Damon. She talked to Michael and Jenna and said they were awesome (as always). So nice to see them supporting John!
I guess they're out there for the cast recording, no?
mmm...jello and John Hill...my two favorite things...
Yeah 13, truth be told that's all I'm interested in but I thought it would sound less pervy if I presented it under the guise of "wrestling" you for him! O_O
I end up leaving y'all for one evening, and you end up having a FULL page on W*****!! *shakes head in disbelief* What is this thread coming to?
See what happens when you leave me fake boyfriend to my own devices? Next thing you know I'm at W*****.
MOG--yes you are definitely the more spastic of the two! :P But that is why we all love you and Trisky
Okay, "spastic" makes me sound like I have tourette's syndrome! Can we at least change that to perky? :P
YAY W***** AND BARE! hahahaha im so slaphappy right now!
Does retarded seal clap with you! :)

Yay to MoG's friend for seeing the BARE cast in LA! Who knew they were bi-coastal? 
The Red Cross has been pestering me for weeks to give blood. I guess there is a shortage?? So everyone who can give blood, please do so!
I would love to give blood, but I'm not allowed to because I like fooling around with other guys. 
Is it the same in the States?
we need a Wizard and who better than the artist known as BlueWizard?
I have big shoes to fill, but I've got big feet.
Have I mentioned how much I hate Jesus Christ Superstar yet? Used to love it, but now that I'm in it (and this production really isn't looking pretty so far), not so much.
I know exactly how you feel! I was in a production of JCS a few years ago -- hated the show ever since. Has anyone else noticed how the show doesn't really make sense, how songs and moments just jump around with nothing connecting them? Bothered the hell out of me.

Really? You'd think I know this. No wonder they have blood shortages. Of course if I spend another week in England, I will be ineligible for blood donation. Go figure.
Back to fun stuff...

YAY on seeing Michael and Jenna. I hope they are doing a cast recording!!

Posted: 9/3/04 at 1:15pmFaile - I can confirm it. I tried to give blood at one of our dear federal agency blood drives and after I answered the gay question they told me they would still take my blood so I wasn't embarrassed about being turned down and people didn't ask questions but they would destroy it. How is that for insane. I told them I'd keep it in my veins. It is particularly sad because I have a rare blood type that is always in demand. Ah well, that's life in our progressive society...
Getting to know you via Bare...#2436
Posted: 9/3/04 at 1:17pmThat is so sad BT. I know the list of restrictions for blood donation is getting longer and longer. No wonder there's a shortage.

Posted: 9/3/04 at 1:25pmOK, I'm gonna ask a dumb question. Does someone have a link to the bare lyrics page? I've tried searching on the Barees website, but found it too hard to navigate.

What?? They wanted to take your blood for the hell of it and then destroy it, rather than use it to help people(or at least leave it in your system for you to use)???
Yes MoG, it's an extremely discriminator regulation that doesn't make sense. Who's to say that a straight black woman in their blood? The statistics on HIV infections are about the same as for gay men. And they test the blood anyway. I guess they're being choosy as to who they discriminate against.

So true. I've gotten turned away for low iron before and it was very frustrating because I waited for so long, but getting turned away for being gay. It just seems wrong. They test all the blood before it is used, so why continue to turn away willing donors?
Does someone have a link to the bare lyrics page?
Is there a BARE lyrics page. I've some lyrics posted here.

I think I've also seen some posted on the Forum at Barees website.

It's true. And it's making me angry!! But I have rare but useful blood type and despite the policies I will continue to donate.

OK, I've received the umpteenth PM from someone telling me my icon is hot. Yes, I know - it's Michael Arden!
Should I change my icon? I love it so, but I don't want people thinking it's me. And there's no room on the image to plaster "THIS IS MICHAEL ARDEN".

The blood donation thing makes me sad. My family always gives blood, my dad is a regular donor. My dad has even won Broadway tickets for it. That's how my parents saw "The Producers" lol. That's seems pointless to me to turn down gay men who are clean and willing to give blood. Seems like the Red Cross is contributing to the shortage.
BT-That is the stupidest thing I've ever heard. Take your blood and destroy it?! Good for you to keep it for yourself and good use.
YAY for Mikey, Damon, and Jenna supporting John in LA!

Well, now we know why he won't be at Creation Nation! Lova ya, John, I do, but if I must choose I need to support the Bare love. That and it's cheaper. Heh. (Funny, I'm listening to my voicemail right now, with MoG freaking out in my ear about this and reading about it, at the same time. MoG in stereo.)
It's a shame about the blood donation, because God knows them thar heterosexuals are ALWAYS safe. Why, George W. Bush himself, trusts them enough to use abstinence as a form of birth control and is currently trying to push this agenda on the U.S. government. *rolls eyes*
