I haven’t listened to any of the songs since I saw that mess of a show…to be honest I don’t even remember this one!
I remember the year this show was on Broadway getting involved in an online discussion about whether or not the Tony Awards should include a “Best Song” award. I argued that this song...

Hey, did I mention that I have an audition for a reality show tomorrow?
You guys, it went really well. Like, “the producers will be in town in a couple of weeks and we can’t imagine they wouldn’t want to meet you” well.

Unpopular Opinion
The London Cast Album of Grease, starring Debbie Gibson as Sandy, is my favorite recording of the score.
fuckyeahstephensondheim asked: Why a number?...
I think the idea behind the number is so that I can say nice things about people without other people knowing whom I am referring to, because thus I can say things people might want to keep private!
That being said I am willing to say that you are super-awesome even without the benefit of pseudo-anonymity, and that I’d talk to you more on Facebook except you kind of intimidate me because I am a...
SO if I uncheck the two boxes anyone can reply?
ihavechortles:
no, if you do that no-one can reply! D: To let other people leave comments you need to set them up through Disqus or summat, I don’t really know the details
The annoying thing about Disqus or any of the other 3rd party commenting systems is that those comments don’t show up in your dashboard timeline, nor will they show up for anyone reading your Tumblr in their dashboard...

How cool! All my knowledge of Henry Sweet Henry comes from the passing mention in [tos]. Think it’ll ever get to Encores?
Unlikely. Musicals in Mufti did it in fall, 2004, though.
The cast album is delightful. Definitely worth checking out if you can track down a copy.

“The term ‘sphere’ suggests a space accessible to any and all. It implies a kind...”
– Jodi Dean (pdf).
Silly coinage, great point.
(via marathonpacks)
Of course, when Brad Graham coined the term (however flippantly), the blogosphere did feel like one giant discussion.

Noah Diamond: The Most Sensational, Inspirational,... →
zvbxrpl:
The new Muppet movie, which I am relieved to say is wonderful, is aimed squarely at three distinct audiences. First, of course, it’s for kids — today’s kids, who are vaguely aware of the Muppets but have not been given any first-rate Muppet experiences. Second, and maybe most of all, it’s…
Go read Noah Diamond’s post about The Muppets. I agree with every thing he said.

I missed #jewishmusicals →

janambm:
“Merrily We Rugelach” might be my favorite.
The best thing I’ve done this week was start #Jewishmusicals.
So it’s your fault I was up until 2 AM the other night!
Seriously, some of the most fun I’ve had on Twitter. Resulted in one of my most-retweeted tweets ever (over 80 at last count) and a rousing debate with some lady who accused me of anti-Semitism...

ms872:
This post might make me sound like a dick, but well, sometimes I am a dick. So let me start by saying thanks, I’m really glad you enjoy this page.
Now.
Don’t fucking download this album. Buy this album. There is no reason this album should exist. There are already too many other versions of Follies on the market. With a cast and orchestra this size, it had to have cost between $200,000...

My friend and I need a good 18+ gay club in NYC...

Any suggestions, Big Applers?
I have no idea but I’m signal boosting this so I can find out some cool places too.
I’ve heard Marie’s Crisis is a good dive/piano bar to go to to belt out some showtunes after drinking some cheap beer.
Marie’s Crisis is one of my happy places, but I’m pretty sure it’s 21+.

When someone deletes their half of a twitter argument with you, that means you’ve won, right?
