What a fun day for this to be bumped. I was actually about to look for it as a celebration since the production of The Music Man that I'm in opens tonight.
Word can not say how funny I have always found this one! Now, Mr. Shaiman, I spoke to you at the BC/EFA flea market about a sequel............. I am not above a little bribe, do you like cookies?
"All I ask of you is one thing: please don't be cynical. I hate cynicism -- it's my least favorite quality and it doesn't lead anywhere. Nobody in life gets exactly what they thought they were going to get. But if you work really hard and you're kind, amazing things will happen."
Conan O'Brien

"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors.

--Aristotle
