Bring on the Shows!

[eirenical]

So, this has turned into Broadway week for me -- or "off-Broadway" as the case may be. ^_^ I was originally slated to see Lend Me a Tenor for the second time this past Tuesday (just as hysterically funny as the first time -- go see it before it closes!) and Falling for Eve tomorrow, both with my mother. For her, that's already a lot in one week. She prefers to spread out her viewings. ^_^ *wistful sigh* I remember those innocent days... *eyes a msorange21* ...I've since been corrupted. ;-D

So, the point. ^_^ At the end of last week, I was invited to see yet another show this week: Abraham Lincoln's Big Gay Dance Party. It just opened off-Broadway on the 27th with an official opening date of Aug. 11th. Through an incredible set of coincidences, I ended up going with zoicite as a last minute replacement for a friend of hers that couldn't go. I must say, I'm intensely amused that all of the new friends I make these days a) seem to be met at Broadway shows and b) don't live in the same state I do. O_O *laughs* Just my luck, huh? At least they're close enough that visiting isn't so hard and meeting in the city is fairly easy. ^_^

Anyway, she, being a very brave lady, invited me to come along with her in the hopes of making a new friend. And we had a total blast! ^_^ She's just as sweet in person as she is on LJ and the show was fantastic. It has a very unique set-up. It's a three act play with an opening scene and an ending scene. The three acts in between, however, are played in a different order each night, depending on audience selection. And depending on what order you see those scenes in, your opinions on what is going on in the show and your sympathies for the characters can vary widely. It makes for an interesting performance.

On top of that, the story is very comedic and yet very moving at the same time. In spite of myself I found myself liking each one of the characters, even the ones I started out hating. The acting was a little shaky in one or two spots (i.e. a muffed line here and there), but being as it was only their third performance, I'm willing to cut them quite a bit of slack. ^_^ I can only assume they'll get better with time. I'd love to say more, but I don't want to spoil the show. So, all I will say is check out the website, I highly recommend it and go see the show! :D

*firmly tells herself that she will not fic for Jerry*

*...or Anton*

Not.

Aw heck.

*whistles innocently* Nope. All your fault. Completely. I claim no responsibility. Please ignore the icon.

*eg*

And yes, she is totally awesome! ^_^ Perhaps we can all arrange to see a show sometime. ^_^ I think you'd like each other. ^_^

*pokes* BTW, check your e-mail. ^_^

"Who's on first? I don't know. He's on third, we're not talking about him."

ROTFLMAO -- you are awesome! Favorite joke of all time. 'Nuff said. XD

*tee hee* You said farce and the way the dialogue was flowing, that was exactly what popped into my head. I needed to put it in there. Am in the middle of fixing bits on FF and getting ready to post! Yay! Teamwork, man, teamwork!

I would love that. Would be great fun! :-) And on another note, I see you in a week! :-D

[rchan.livejournal.com]

Well, it was perfect in that moment. ^_^ I wholeheartedly approve! :D *cheers for the being finished*

*thumbs up* We'll have to try to work schedules. ^_^

And yeah!!! *does the happy dance* Only a week! *beams* You have no idea how much I'm looking forward to the visit. Need my fix, man! ^_~

"Take that you weasel-wearing fuck!"

XD

Sorry -- I never get to say that one... *dimples*

[msorange21.livejournal.com]

No no no no no! "Eat a dick, you weasel wearing fuck!" LOL It's the double curse that makes it funny! If you're gonna say it, say it right, cockgobbler! LMFAO!!!

So Jerry was totally adorable. I wanted to squish him. How did we fail to mention this last night?

And you know, I'd totally read that.

[msorange21.livejournal.com]

And I LOVES YOU!!!!

[rchan.livejournal.com]

I know! *_* He totally was. Must be because we were both tired by then. *nodnod* He was kind of a combination of "adorable puppy" cute and "OMG, you're hot" cute -- irresistible! ^_^ In truth... he reminded me more than a little of Gavin. ^_^

D: Oh G-d. Don't say things like that to me. O_O I don't need another new fandom and I'm too easily tempted. O_O

*sweatdrop*

Aw crap. Is that...?

*eyes the other side of the room* Damn it, it is. There's a pair of plot bunnies breeding in the corner. O_O This is not good. O_O *shakes fist at you* You just had to go and tell me that, didn't you? O_O *tries unsuccessfully to shake off the third plot bunny now gnawing on her leg*

Damn it.

^_^

*laughs* *squishes on you* Loves you, too, sweetie!

And thanks for the correction. *snaps you a salute* I solemnly swear I'll get it right, next time. :D

*eg* "...And really tight pants!"

[zoicite.livejournal.com]

DUDE, HE REMINDED ME OF GAVIN TOO. A lot. Which again leads to - I can't believe we failed to mention this last night!

P.S. You know you want to. All the cool kids are doing it. doooooo iiiiiiiitttt.

[rchan.livejournal.com]

ROTFLMAO Oh dear Lord, our first moment of brain share-age and we missed it! XD Again, I point you to the fact that we must have both been tired by then. O_O That's the only possible excuse.

O_O Nooooooooooooo. O_O

*sweatdrop* *twitch* Dear G-d, now there are eight of them breeding in the corner. I only turned my back on them for a few minutes! -.-;;;

*eg* Family calling for dinner... we'll see what happens once I have nourishment. *eg*

BTW... OMG, I love your icon!! *_*
