Thanks! Cruel Intentions rocks my socks. Nothing like near-incestual relationship and Sarah Michelle Gellar in sexy outfits.

And the quote is something I dramatically stated when I tried to get onto the school theatre after school and it was all locked up. I began to bang on the doors until I finally turned around and slid dramatically to the floor while leaning against the doors. And I uttered those noble words.

Then of course I laughed and bowed and went on my merry way!

Great movie. It would make an amazing play.

It was based on Les Liasons Dangerous.. or something liek that.. which I know has been adapted to the stage.. but a stage version of Cruel Intentions would be nice.. now.. who could play Phillipe's role?? **scratches head even though an answer is known**

I never even thought of it as a play. Wow. I want to be in it. Too bad I wouldn't fit any of the roles -- even if I can recite all of Sarah Michelle Gellar's lines. Hah.

I think its a good story. I hate when people say its a "teenie" movie. The only wierd thing is that all the characters are in high school.

Or Saturday Night Fever and Footloose, but those two shows have a whole other issue. LOL.

This is from Playbill:

"Now von Essen, 28, will be in the Broadway Spotlight on Jan. 5 and 19 at 8 PM at the Ars Nova Theater. To quote a song from Vampires, "there's never been a night like this" because he'll be making his cabaret debut. The Queens-born actor says, "I've been scared of cabaret because it's hard to do well. I don't want it to be cheesy. And I'm doing all these songs I've never sung, like ‘What Do I Need With Love' from Millie and ‘There's a Fine, Fine Line' from Avenue Q.' I'll also do part of ‘For Sarah'; it was the most beautiful song in [Vampires]."

I can't wait to here him sing "What Do I Need With Love" and the song from Avenue Q. It should be different to hear that song by someone besides a slightly overweight female puppet monster!

"For Sara" is a beautiful song and Max has a beautiful voice. It is my favorite song from DOTV.

I found a bootleg (shhhh) recording of Max singing that...... I LOVE it.

I want to hear him sing "It's a Fine, Fine Line". I was thinking of adding to my audition repertoire and want to hear what a guy sounds liek on it...... and "What Do I Need With Love" too.

Heh, when I e-mailed him the other night asking for a hint at what he might be singing, he said:

"no hints for my program, but you'll have fun.
see you on the 19th.
max"

Hm, the countdown has begun until the 19th.

Max is a total professional. I've never seen him give less than 100%. Max always gets an A+ in my book.

Hooray. I got my tickets to the show in the mail. Now I have to go about finding things to do in the city while I make my visit.

I'm thinking about running over to the Marquis Theatre to catch Sutton Foster after her performance in Millie. I never got to tell her that I love her when I saw her because we were running across new york to catch a train. Stupid trains...

Don't forget to have your picture taken with The Naked Cowboy.

Definitely need that.
