Company hasn't been selling out, so I don't think it will be hard to get tickets.

And yes, that's Grey Gardens.

It is - Christine Ebersole and Mary Louise Wilson are portraying the two women, and their performances are absolutely breathtaking.

If you really want to catch up, go see Spring Awakening and Grey Gardens are MUST sees. The Little Dog Laughed is supposed to be amazing, and I would highly reccomend it.

I don't need a life that's normal. That's way too far away. But something next to normal would be okay. Something next to normal is what I'd like to try. Close enough to normal to get by.

I hear the RENT cast is actually pretty darn good right now! I actually need to venture over there too... I cant believe that, with as obsessed with it as I am, I've actually only ever seen the show once haha
