Comedy and Opinions from Two Broadway Fans!
I really want to go back to The Color Purple. I feel like it’s been enough time so it’s not so fresh in my mind and it’s closing soon. I’m still kicking myself for missing Heather Headley.
I have a flask and two shotglasses from Doctor Zhivago that I don’t use and I have a Tuck Everlasting mug I bought at the theater because the design was just so cute and tied into the actual show. All my other merch is Flea merch. I felt a little silly buying Aladdin cups (like the ones they use selling refreshments) but they’re super useful because they’re covered. I like regular-sized mugs for a single serving size of tea or something. I already have plenty of 16-25 oz water bottles for water. I go through periods when I put things on walls. When it starts to feel cluttered I end up going back to bare walls but I’ve had to start putting concert posters up again after my dog had a moment a chewed up one of the posters I had rolled up and lying within reach.
I’m glad they recorded The Woodsman. More people should see it.
I listened to the OBC album. I just really don’t like the music for Cats. Maybe if someone gave me a ticket I would enjoy the camp of the stage show but I don’t feel compelled to see it.
