"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.”

MusicAngel, we must have seen the same performance of Next to Normal!!!! I literally was sitting 2 rows behind Neil Patrick Harris and his boyfriend, David Burtka. At that same performance, a very pregnant Idina Menzel and Taye Diggs were stage door-ing the show....pretty much the best theater experience ever! :-P
When I saw Light in the Piazza, I also saw Christine Baranski (coincidentally, I also sat next to her at an amateur performance of Streetcar Named Desire)
