yeah i dont like this "if" stuff either.

yes, IF, since I don't know all these younguns what done started taking over this here website with all their talk of that WICKED show

but Mr. Error sure looks adorable, I will say that!

digereedoorely yours,
Marc

so Mr. Shaiman, when is Hairspray coming to Australia? I really want to see it. I like the soundtrack a lot, but it really strikes me as the sort of show you just have to see.
And it is the sort of show my mother would like! (i think) I have the most placid tastes in music for a teenage boy...and my mother complains! "Why do you listen to this Sondheim stuff?!?!?!"
oy
But she likes what she has heard of Hairspray (although she's never heard me sing "Mama, I'm A Big Girl Now...i think she'd die)

I LIKE BOTH!!!
I really do!

and hey...you just commented on a composer that isn't yourself! Should I be shocked?

I've never, ever seen you comment on anything but Hairspray!

(but I understand your reasonings completely)

Pardon me,
I was there...

I love that song. That is a complete Eargasm for me. As is most of Pacific Overtures.

I hoe you like this Sweeney. Haven't heard about this production, but assuming they have a good Sweeney and Mrs. Lovett, then the production will still be enjoyable.

Although I like Hairspray, I am a Sondheim boy first and foremost.

You'll just have to keep writing more musicals, and perhaps I will be a Shaiman and Wittman boy then too...

Yoyoyo Marc-

I'm a sixteen year old sondheim Lover, and I am wild for Hairspray, and cannot wait for your "catch me if you can." Yeah, however many times I listen to "SOmeone in A tree" or "Putting it together," the greatest theatrical experience I have ever had was sitting in the audience of Hairspray, next to Fannie Baker, may I add. Hope she liked it, despite religious condemnations and all.

WHo am I kiddin-surreal life!
Anyways, this video makes me laugh to tears- hussy 'specially,

and boy, the chutzpah you showed on that tony telecast. Ya cannot imagine whatit meant to a sixteen year old boi like myself.

PS- You get a dollar for me for that one. You're on your way out of serfdom.

So the show was fabulous? care to give any details?

Love-Brad

"Flowery I cannot believe you don't know what a digereedooo is! You have dissapointed me beyond typing! *runs from the room sobbing*(Not really but I am in a dramatic mood tonight.)"

Gunn, I'm sorry for disappointing you with my lack of knowledge. Feel free to come visit me sometime and lecture me on these new interesting things I'm not familiar with. Just call first and tell me you're coming so that I can clean my room and make myself pretty.




~Marc~
The talk of "that Wicked show" will die down soon enough.
And gosh darn it, I want to see you wearing a boa again.
And perhaps posing with a flower and pretending to be me...
I'm just saying, it's not a bad idea to plan for the future...
Don't make me use mind control tactics.
(on another note, I agree with you that Mr. Error looks adorable. And I hear he has an Australian accent...)

And Marc,
you have many dollars from me...

What is it with young men and insisting on singing womens songs?

I always enjoy singing a female song over a male one!

"STOP EMBARRESSING ME!!!
My cheeks are burning so much it hurts!!!"

Fine, if you insist.
But I still adore you.
And remember...
Next time you visit the US, you're bringing along a straight friend for me

"What is it with young men and insisting on singing womens songs?

Strangely, I prefer singing men's songs.
Like all the Jamie songs from L5Y.
(I do an excellent "Moving Too Fast", and a pretty good "A Miracle Would Happen")
Also, being a low alto in a women's college, I end up singing men's parts of duets a great deal.
(Cannot tell you how many times I have been Seymour in "Suddenly Seymour" or Roger in "Light My Candle".)

No campaigning? I remember poems...


And by the way, I would buy a ticket to see you playing Eponine.
If ever our paths should cross, Gunn, I shall demand a reenactment.

You've heard of shot-gun weddings, but have you heard of shot-Gunn theatre?

Hey Shaiman,

When will you premiering 50 Checks again? I love your premieres. They're so redundant. Good stuff!

No just odd sleep schedule! Now I am off to run! This marathon training is getting in the way of my time on the boards!
