Broadway Secrets 6/26/09

I made 3 secrets this week. I don't think they're very obvious

1. Interesting, and a little creepy. Where is that picture from? It's so cool
2. Again. With the secrets about the example labels.
5. The only thing that bothered me was that I thought there was a formatting mistake or something.
6. True.
9. Except that she's a great singer and powerful as hell.
10. Am I the only one who liked the Shrek performance? I thought it was cute.
13. She looks great.
14. I'm glad the Allison love is back.
15. Pretty good chance it'll be good-looking. It won't necessarily be talented.
17. I can say that. You wanna know why? Because it really wasn't all that stuff. Good music. Talented people. Nothing else though. Loveable? No. Heart-wrenching? No. Jaw-dropping? Definitely no.
19. I might actually check it out. I was never interested in TBD anyway.
20. Harry Potter musical would suck.
21. I love how powerful she is. But not her pronunciation/diction.
23. That sounds like me.
34. He'd be good on Broadway. I didn't like Ugly Betty
36. I agree. With both parts actually. For some reason if people ever accuse me of having a crush on him, they end up embarrassed. On that note, he IS adorable beyond belief.
38. I know! The only reason why I can't hate Rock of Ages is Wesley and Lauren. Otherwise I really have no interest (Yes, Amy Spanger is awesome, but she could do better)
39. Really? As far as I know Blake Daniel is NOT gay. (Is it just me, or does he seem a little young for Gavin?)
40. DOES IT INVOLVE BLAKE DANIEL?
42. Same for me. I connect with Natalie so much.
43. I was thinking of making a secret like this a long while back, but I couldn't because there was no official picture and mine would have had a screencap of a bootleg which is not good.
47. I'm gonna look it up.
54. The kid will learn to stay away from the computer, and therefore become a very smart kid.
62. In those pictures, man they do look alike.
65. Now I want to go back and watch that show...even though it kinda sucked.
66. The similarities are totally true, but that doesn't make them similar. (This reminded me of the Broadway.com Tony red carpet video when Gavin said "We'll rock the house 60's, Rock of Ages will rock it 80's")
67. I like them both a lot. Act 2's songs took longer for me to get into, but now I love all the songs.
70. My cousin got a stagedoor picture with him.
74. I agree with her being cute and talented, the posing I don't really find a problem. It's more contagious the more she does it.
75. Funny, nice, and I agree.
77. I don't want to believe this. But for some reason she was the only one in the cast my cousin didn't see at stagedoor. I know it can't have been that he didn't want a picture with her, because he thought she was awesome and totally hot.
78. They're cute in that picture. (That means something since I don't think either of them are very good looking)
79. Do her fans call her Key? That's weird.
89. How is it "all about english accents" Seriously, the american productions are awesome.
96. Now it's perfect!

Looking forward to reading other reviews.

Youtube Experiment

After I've just been sort of agitated by things on youtube, I'm going to privatize all my videos for awhile. I'm interested in what the reaction may be. And if there is no reaction, then maybe it's better off that way.

I Think I'm Writing Again.

Chapter Godknowswhat:

This would not have been the best time to get my ass kicked, so I moved (I did not run, I was not afraid of him) away from George. I saw a closet that I could maybe hide, wait in. Until it was safer at least. There wasn't much space in there, because a ton of clothes. But it was better than anything else so I did my best to slip in there. I was almost to a safe spot where no one could see me even if they opened one of the doors. Suddenly I completely wiped out when my foot got caught on something. I looked towards whatever it was that took me down and it was Sarah sitting cross-legged on the floor.
"You tripped me."
"You stepped on me." she retorted.
Sliding Doors is kind of a weird movie. I mean like, the whole movie you're kind of thinking "How is this possibly going to end when there's two realities happening at once. And then near the end I thought it would be really funny if she died in both possibilities, which she didn't. But the whole purpose of the movie I guess is to be like "Deal with it. It gets better." LOL. not really, but if you see it you'll know what I mean.
"No I didn't. I fell instead" I defended myself.
Sarah just shrugged. "Whyyyy are you in my closet?" She asked annoyingly.
It might be a better idea to let her go first.
"I am hiding from my ex's parents." she raised her eyebrows as if to ask if I could believe that.
"I'm hiding from your ex."
She was unsurprised. "Why?"
"I might have said one or two things to piss him off." I confessed.
"I can't imagine what could piss off such an even tempered person." She responded dryly.
Spending time in her with a closet wasn't too bad of an idea.
"Can I sit with you?"
Her eyebrow raised sharply asking me why I'd stupidly ask that.
"Beautiful show."
Why did she act like that was the first time she'd heard that?
"Really?" Sarah asked hopefully.
I nodded. "I only saw a few, but you're a great artist."
She smiled again.
"Thanks. I don't hear that alot"

Why does my life seem to hate me so much?

Everyone knows how excited I am/was to see Hair, and Gavin Creel of course. Seeing as someone wanted me to give her the 411 on just how much cuter he was in person.

How exactly does that work if he's not going to be there when I see the show?

Gah.

FML.

I'm going to go read some of those.

Chat with My Cousin

My cousin just got back from New York and was posting his pictures of facebook. I couldn't help but comment on some of them, mostly of how jealous I was. He had pictures of Christopher Sieber, Johnny Tartaglia, Brian D'Arcy James, Daniel Breaker, J Robert Spencer, Adam Chanler Berat, Kyle Dean Massey, and Alice Ripley.

After leaving a few comments on a few of the pictures, he struck up a chat on facebook with me. Now I would have spoken of the highlights, but there's many interesting parts, I'll bold them.

One of the things I will point out though is I had a more meaningful/interesting talk with him last night then I've had with his twin sister (who is supposedly my best friend) in a long time.

Broadway Secrets 6/19/09

I was not very inspired by secrets this week. Even though I had two of mine. I'm actually disappointed because I made this secret but it wasn't posted because they thought it was a personal picture. That made me sad because I would have been the first/only person yet to acknowledge Lucas's achievement. Also there was one secret I very much disagreed with so I posted a comment saying just that. I ended up with someone patronizing me telling me that I haven't seen the show and my opinion is wrong. I'm just a little mad that people think just because they're anonymous and not important that they can say whatever they want, I'm probably more mad about what was said to me than what was said originally.

1. If your friends with them on facebook, that's really cool
2. Why would he take the job then?
3. Yeah, they're really cute.
4. First, the text is so hard to read. Second, I guess you just had your eyes closed because he's always been hot.
5. Why did you do that to her face? She looks scary!
7. Every time I look him up, I go to his website and get really distracted by a Rock of Ages youtube video. This is still a problem for me as it happened last night.
8. I can't wait to see it! JK. What's it about?
15. A lot of people have already commented saying that she was Diana in one of the workshops. Well, I recently heard her "Didn't I see this movie?" and it's great. She could totally replace Alice.
19. This secret seems kinda pointless to me.
20. Yeah, I guess so.
25. Um. What the fuck?
26. Aw, they do look cute. But I've heard Groff's Claude. And Gavin's is better.
29. That's an excellent point, now can people shut up.
30. Nice.
33. Creepy creepy creepy.
35. I'm pretty sure those are freckles. Besides, isn't he supposed to look 15?
36. That picture of him creeps me out a little.
37. Everywhere. I'm not sure about message boards or anything, but still.
39. She looks absolutely gorgeous.
43. The only thing I could think of when I finished reading this secret was that there's no "NO" for Allison, if that was intentional then I think that's pretty cute. (But obviously no to the first 3)
44. Hehe
46. Yes
49. Interesting...
50. Hahaha. Nice!
56. I find it sometimes a little distracting.
57. See #49
62. Dude, you just made that pretty little girl look terrible.
63. This is the secret I got into an argument about. I totally disagree. I love her acting (In videos I've seen) and I think it really helps the audience feel it too.
65. I agree. Especially when using crude language.
69. She's with JBW. Or weren't you watching the Tony's as carefully as the Spring Awakening fans?
70. I've heard.
72. Um, interesting.
75. Nice. But I have the same problem. I wanted videos of all the shows so I could decide easier.
76. Um, no.
87. That's true.
90. It's not a rock concert, it's a broadway show.
92. Yes, and some much better then #63.
93. The point of the secret's not to seem superficial or pointless as many of the commenters think but to show the irony that her in Wicked (being y'know, green) made her seem pretty.
101. You're sad.
103. I guess it wasn't subtle then.

Broadway Secrets 5/15/09

I was going back and noticed I missed a bunch. Interesting the ones I missed.

39. I'm partial to the long hair. But the second part's a very good point.
82. Ick. They did win.
99. Yeeaaah. Me too
101. Yes. That picture cracks me up!
123. I love that video. And the picture is so cute.
126. Meeeee tooooo.
