"At the opening night party, they had clowns on stilts, jugglers, a chocolate fountain, popcorn, hot dogs. [My son] looked at me like I had been holding back. Like, 'This is what you do?' I had to tell him, 'No, no, darling. Opening nights don't usually look like this.' It's usually a dark bar with a bottle of vodka." ?Chitty Chitty Bang Bang's Jan Maxwell

Posted: 4/2/05 at 4:29pmWhenever I hear "You Can't Stop the Beat" from HAIRSPRAY, I feel obligated to get up and perform the choreography. I was in Gristedes in NYC the other day and the radio commercial for HAIRSPRAY came on and there I was, in aisle four, performing Jerry Mitchell's choreography. There must be some sort of subliminal messaging in that song... "You will dance now... You *will* dance..."

"No two shows are alike in the making. Each show is a living
piece of your life in a small unreal world with its own character
and integrity; its own new set of memorable experiences and
incredible happenings. You begin to love and adapt to its strangeness.
Dreams harden into substance. Values come into focus. You wish
it would never end. The dream world vanishes like mist before a
rising sun; part of you vanishes with it. And back you land in the
real world with a thud- fogged, uneasy, jittery, difficult to get
along with. There is only one cure. A new show. A new, small
unreal world; new visions, experiences, incredible happenings.
Again you love it, adapt to it, wish it would never end.
But end it does. Another part of you vanishes.
That's show business."-Anonymous

You mean I'm not the only one who holds out my arms and snaps my fingers when the notes to "Maria" come in?
Good to know.

Wow, I dance to like every song cause I'm such a loser like that. 
Even songs that people don't normally dance to, I feel like I have to dance, so I make up my own choreography and dance around my room.

My dance to "Don't Tell Mama" from Cabaret is a sight to behold. The Dance at the Gym is another favorite, and by the time America comes on, I've put on my sassy dress that I wear whenever I listen to WSS, so then I can cha cha even better.
And of course, La Vie Boheme makes me want to get up and bump and grind.
