Our main Christmas gift was a trip to New York in January. We're all seeing SHREK, my sisters are going to NYCB, and lil ole me is seeing Stephen Sondheim and Frank Rich at Lincoln Center. Naturally, I'm dying.
BUT, this morning I still opened Patti at Les Mouches, a biography of Brando, and Harold Guskin's "How to Stop Acting."
Some people paint, some people sew, I meddle.

Posted: 12/25/08 at 1:31pmThe DVDs of Singin' In The Rain, My Fair Lady and The Sound of Music. My dad told me he might surpise me with a late Christmas gift which I believe will have something to do with theatre.

Anything Goes 1988 Cast Recording
Patti at Les Mouches
Patti LuPone Gypsy Recording

It was a very Patti Christmas.
I am a firm believer in serendipity- all the random pieces coming together in one wonderful moment, when suddenly you see what their purpose was all along.

"DrunkChitaRivera, how is Funny Lady?
Every time I go the the mall, I pick it up, but I never actually buy it."
I haven't actually finished it. Let me first start off by saying that Funny Girl is one of my favorite movies. Funny Lady so far isn't as good, I wasn't paying that much attention while watching it as I was multitasking. It was okay so far, maybe if you payed close attention and stuff it would be better. It just isn't as funny, Funny Girl is happier and so far in Funny Lady Fanny is a bitch (a little)...
Also I do not know the date to Lin's last. People have been PMing me asking. I said in my message that I was playing on getting tickets. I did not say the date. Sorry if it was misleading.
#61re: What Broadway stuff did you get for Christmas 2008?
Posted: 12/25/08 at 4:47pmMamma Mia DVD and the Music of Scott Alan cd. And some cash, which chances are will be applied toward tickets for a Broadway show OR to credit card bills to pay off past Broadway excursions.

An Enjolras vest and these albums:
*Sweeney Todd revival
*Evita OBC

And I might buy "Aspects of Love" with an iTunes gift card, solely because of all of the Michael Ball on it.

A Sirius Radio (basically because I want the Broadway channel), tickets to "Spamalot" in Chicago, and a new iPod case (to protect my showtunes).
I'm lame.
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I?
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
