That really sucks Kerrie. It was like that here too. We had about 3 feet of snow yesterday morning and I had to get up extra early to shovel the driveway because school wasn't cancelled. Ugh.

Kevin Greene, from that Grease show (he's from my home town and the son of an old teacher of mine) is performing a concert today @ 1:00. I cannot wait to go. I'm pretty pumped.

Much luck to you Dre.

And I have to say. I know on the show Kevin wasn't popular at all (thus why he was the third Danny to leave) but seeing him perform live, wow. That boy is amazing, not to mention absolutly beautiful in person. His voice is so pure and he has an amazing belt as well. He was very funny too, always cracking jokes in between songs (he really takes after his father in that respect).

He sang all show tunes (except one) and when an audience member asked him to sing something from Grease he said he couldn't because he didn't have the piano music for any songs but in the end ended up singing the most beautiful A Capella version of 'Sandy'.

I went with some friends and felt like such a dork because the majority of the people there were friends/family of Kevin and then a ton of little 12 year olds and their parents. My groups was definitly the oldest of everyone there, but we joked tht that meant that we were the only ones that stood a chance with him (if he wasn't already dating someone. A broadway actress at that).

He was super sweet when we met him (they had an autograph line set up) and on the table he had a jar where he was collecting money to donate to BC/EFA. I put some in of course. I got an autograph and a picture and overall it was a great time.

He also said he's got quite a few auditions lined up for the coming weeks and he will be returning to the show for the finale.

haha. Better it's not Greg. He's much too nice to ever play Jud.

And 'Hello' to everyone. Hope all is well with you guys.

I love New York City. I've officially decided that part of my life (be it a summer or a year or more) is going to be spent there. It is yet to be determined how it will be spent, but I will live there.

In other news, I loved both Mary Poppins and Les Mis. Especially Gavin Lee (I'm in love with that man), Adam Jacobs, and Aaron Lazar. They are gorgeous. And amazing. And I'll write more tomorrow.

I'm still floating from Les Mis.

Yep - they're cousins. Lola's big brother was 2 on his last birthday - 3/15! So the birthdays are 3/7, 3/15, and 3/21. March is going to be a CRAZY month around here!

Hey Ali!

And speeking of thinking of Greg, I was at a store earlier today and they had an entire section of things from Paris. Lots of Eiffel tower figures and things. It made me think of Greg.

I was in my Bio of HIV/AIDS class today and we watched a video. There were a lot of scientists talking, on of which was named Ruth Ruprecht. I laughed. Probably too much.

And I saw a car in the parking lot of school whose license plate started with 'DRS...'

Boys are jackasses.

That is all.

Actually.
No it's not.
Jason Gillman (of DRS) is in the latest Legally Blond Video thingy.
He's pretty funny.
I quite like him a lot.

Now, that it all.

I'm seeing the tour of RENT tonight. I'm stoked. It's going to be so much fun and I cannot wait to see Harley and Declan again. No stage dooring though.

Posted: 4/11/07 at 7:48pm

Seriously, when his are was around me I almost fainted. I was front row last time I saw it too, right in front of Harley during Seasons of Love.

I'm so happy it was great, though I'm not surprised. I'd give anything to see this cast again. That's awesome that they walked right in front of you! And I think Declan changes hair frequently.

I should edit my post but I'll just post again. Actually I wasn't front row. This theatre doesn't have a pit. Well they do but they had these huge planks of...something covering it up. Then three rows of chairs sitting on top (you could feel the vibrations and your chair moving all night from the music, it was really cool) with a black curtain seperating the chairs from the front row of the Orchestra. My seat was the third row of the set up chairs on the end. Same as you though, right infront of Harley for SoL. It was such an odd set up but I really felt like I was VIP, with the seperating curtain and all.

Ali: That's amazing that you're already half way there. Congrats! And Spelling Bee is such a cute, fun show. I loved it.

I watched the TV Land awards just to see the comercials with Greg throughout. How sad is that? But, it was neat to see Greg on TV in something new; even if it was only for 30 seconds at a time, three times. It was strange to see him with dark hair though, but he looks good.

Hey, y'all! Tonight, May 8th! THE UNIT ... CBS ... 9 PM Eastern ... Greg guest stars.

lmao Liz. I had read that in your myspace before. It's great. Very true. I'm just glad I don't have to deal with any of that stuff any more.

Damn my professors for giving me so much HW that I completly forgot about watching The Unit. It'll be replayed eventually though and I'll catch it then.

[Traci]

Posted: 5/9/07 at 11:39pm

Thanks for the tip Barb. I'll go and watch it now.

hey guys. i just now found part 5 of this lovely thread and actually have time to post. how is everyone doing?

p.s. i saw jason gillman in legally blonde this past week. and he was fabulous as always.

DRE: awesomeness! did you enjoy the show? it was very.... pink, is the only word to describe it.

as for Andrew Asnes... the boy has been keeping himself busy with Legally Blonde. he's one of the associate producers for it. at least that's what it says in the playbill. he needs to get back on the stage.

I never say Ben go on at all for any role but I can tell you that he only ever went on for Anthony and The beatle. Manoel never missed a performance.

I have heard audios of Eakeley for both those roles though and thought he sounded fantastic so I can only assume his performance as a whole was great as well.

Hello Annie and Mamie. Great to see people still hanging around here.

Anyway, since the Tonys are today a friend and I are going to the movies to see that Broadway documentary Show Business. Avenue Q and Alan Cumming, what could be better? I'm pretty excited to see it after waiting 3 years to do so and will let you all know what I thought of it.

[Mamie]

Posted: 6/11/07 at 7:27pm

That sounds wonderful Dre! I'm so glad things are going so well for you and Amanda in the entertainment field. It's wonderful that you have these great opportunities.

I had such a good time meeting all you guys at the Imperial. I have many, many wonderful memories of those times. And particularly wonderful memories of the cam. Looking to see who would stop by, watching Greg downing lunch while highlighting the mole, those Olympic tumbles off the chair, a million monkeys, the roving cam, all of it. I was back in NY about 3 weeks ago and stopped at the D&D across from the stage door. Coram Boy was playing but there wasn't a single decoration on the back of that theatre. Greg and Joanna's photo frames were empty, no mural across the back doors, nothing. It was really very dismal and sad.

ANYWAY - we did get some wonderful memories thanks to that beautiful big heart of Mr. Jbara and maybe, if we keep our fingers crossed, we'll get a chance to see him there again. I know I'm hoping!

Happy 2 years to our thread!....even if it is 10 days late.

Posted: 6/28/07 at 6:24pm

You think that's weird Dre, just wait till you have friends that you graduated with that do get married, divorced and have children. One friend alone has done all three of those. Now that's weird.

I'm seeing Harry Potter at midnight. I'm super excited.

Edit: Just got back from the movie. It was very good though the ending pissed me off.
