The Next Ten Minutes — Page 2

I remember the first time I figured out that the questions what Norbert says at the beginning were the answers to Cathy's questions at the end. The structure of this show is just so brilliant.

Thanks everyone for input!

And to you Mr. Brown, I just want to say what a great show this is. I can't stop listening to it, it's my new favorite cast recording! Sorry if that sounded like I was sucking up...just wanted to voice my praise.

I open the show in a week, and we don't have the means for a boat. Instead, we have-- are you ready for it?-- a bench! It's heavy and clunky and whooie! But that's okay; I live in suburban Washington state, and the boy playing Jamie and I had to explain how New York was divided into different "sides" and what the Dakota and San Remo were, as well as how they related to any of the people mentioned. I live in a place where people thought they were cloud-gazing because no one's ever gone quite so far into the unknown east as Manhattan. Snark.

Beautiful song, though. I love it because it's the only time we're both happy-- which makes it twice as sad and poignant.

The "I want to be your wife/I want to bear your child" part KILLS me everytime . . . but it's a good death. I think it has something two do with the two chords played in the piano directly after each line.

Plus the fact that I'm a girl and it touches the inherently romantic/maternal side in me.

I think I die a little inside whenever I listen to this OCR . . . it's so terribly excellent.

And I'm shutting up now.

I'm a woman. Still creeps me out.
(It's not the sentiment. It's saying it in such a blunt way.)
