Broadway's Best Kept Secrets - Passion + Paddington — Page 3

Passion does not need a major reworking of its book.

At Cynthia’s National Book Festival session last night, the Library of Congress presented Cynthia with a copy of Sondheim’s Loving You. She then responded that this might have confirmed something in the universe but she wasn’t telling us. So looks like Passion is happening.

The library near me discards ratty old books and ones that no one has checked out in ages as well. They have a cart where they sell them for like 50 cents to a dollar. Sheet music to Passion? They'd be lucky to get 50 cents. Might as well give it away.

But seriously, I'm seeing Ms Erivo in convert this coming weekend. Do I yell out, " Are the rumours true? Are you doing Passion in Broadway?"

Friday I told a co-worker I was seeing her show. It's one of the evening concerts at Vancouver's big annual Summer fair. He said he had plans to go to the fair the same day. I asked if he had tickets to her show as well. But he didn't. Then he said something which I didn't realize was the conspiracy theory going around online. He said " She's the one who ademay arianaway andegray azycray." I was like I dunno about that..."

Edit This co-worker gets all his news from Facebook conspiracy theories

Well I didn't yell anything or hoist a sign, there were enough other nuts doing sh!t like that last night. Ms. Erivo was marvelous. I'd rate it among the top ten concerts I've ever seen. And I've been fortunate enough to see Barbra, Liza, Dolly, Celine & more. She had an audience of 10 thousand in the palms of her hands. I'm surprised she doesn't have more shows scheduled, and even would need to do a Broadway run of anything. I see her next scheduled concert performance is at the Hollywood Bowl in October. If you are down there you should be doing whatever it takes to get tickets.
