Posted: 12/31/05 at 12:30amRent (and Anthony Rapp) Not sure I'll ever get over it. I'm starting to like Wicked but it will never replace Rent
You must think I'm still sixteen.
I dropped out of high school for a reason.
And I don't care if you're pretty. I'm not admitting you are right.

Posted: 12/31/05 at 12:32ammy Phantom obsession has been going on for like 2 years now...i don't know if I'm ever going to get pass it!
Back, he spurred like a madman, shrieking a curse to the sky. With the white road smoking behind him and his rapier brandished high! Blood-red were the spurs i' the golden noon; wine-red was his velvet coat, when they shot him down on the highway, down like a dog on the highway, and he lay in his blood on the highway, with the bunch of lace at his throat...

I'd have to say that my current one would probably be "The Last Five Years" most of all.
But I have been listening to "We Will Rock You" the new Queen musical, becuase Queen is definitely one of the loves of my life.
Oh and, in TV, I am HARDCORE obsessed with House. It is my hero. Ah love.

Anthony Rapp and Norbert Leo Butz as performers - I can't get over how talented they both are.
But thats nothing new
"The Last 5 Years" has been an obsession for the past 6 months...the music is beautiful.
Im re-obsessing over my "Little Shop.." cast recording. Just revisiting can spark an obsession sometimes.
Aaaand I recently discovered that I love "Tick, tick...boom"

Posted: 12/31/05 at 12:44amNot Broadway (well, semi-related), but Matt Caplan's "Overtones" has been playing absolutely non-stop on my ipod.

My theatre obsession of the moment is In My Life.
However, the thing that I find myself doing more often than not is watching TLC's What Not to Wear. Thank God for this marathon that is on right now.

Posted: 12/31/05 at 1:56amI'd have to agree with "The Last 5 Years." I just bought this recording a couple weeks ago and was blown away. "The Schmuel Song" is great!! And I also have to admit that my Taboo recording has snuck up on me and made a comeback after laying dormant on shelf for quite some time...it hasn't left the CD player in my car for a while.

Posted: 12/31/05 at 2:02amRent is my current obsession, since there's so much hype about the movie and everything, but for a few months, Phantom has also been my obsession.

our school has a "facebook" group titled 'i have memorized all of rent' with ~250 members... and everyone in there knows just about every word of the libretto. i guess i'm obsessed with that. and ditzy food network personalities.
and what not to wear is amazing in the "i hate you clinton & stacy for being so mean... oh you do have some good advice..." etc sort of way.

My Rent obsession has be refuelled by my trip to NY last week I'm also deep in Producers obsession (finally seeing the movie tommorrow!!)
My new obsession is DRS however- I havn't laughed that much in the theatre since I first saw the Producers (What now feels like forever ago)
Oh and I should add that my DRS love is fuelled by a heavy dose of Greg Jbara love too lol!

My obsession? Broadway music, Broadway musicals, musical comedy, Broadway shows, Broadway revivals, Broadway cast albums, and Broadway.
Other than that, nothing
