All Sondheim:
Getting Married Today
Epiphany
Later
Franklin Shephard, Inc.
Cheyenne Jackson tickled me. AFTER ordering SoMMS a drink but NOT tickling him, and hanging out with Girly in his dressing room (where he DIDN'T tickle her) but BEFORE we got married. To others. And then he tweeted Boobs. He also tweeted he's good friends with some chick on "The Voice" who just happens to be good friends with Tink's ex. And I'm still married. Oh, and this just in: "Pettiness, spite, malice ....Such ugly emotions... So sad." - After Eight, talking about MEEEEEEEE!!! I'm so honored! :-)

"Cabaret"
...and hell, "Bride's Lament" from Drowsy.

Posted: 1/2/07 at 11:49pm"Where is the Tribe for Me?" from Bajour. It's hard to describe it, but mental breakdown might not be a bad description.
Begin at the beginning and go on till you come to the end: then stop.

Yes, "And I Am Telling You"
And I break down every time I listen to the cast recording of Fame (for those of you still in high school, trust me: hearing that record after high school is practically killer. It is a brilliant album; one of the greatest cast recordings in history; but it is extremely heart-wrenching!) ... but "Bring on Tomorrow" is the most emotional showtune "ever!" I totally break down, mentally and physically, and even trying to sing it without wanting to cry is a challenge.
