LADY GaGa is Too Fabulous For You Anyway...

Being a theatre lover herself, I felt like the mistress of GaGa deserves a post for what just happened.

A few minutes ago, Lady GaGa was up for the Grammy Award for Album of the Year...which she didn't win.

It was Taylor Swift. Not good.

Yes, Swift's songs are damn catchy when you listen to them, but who is the artist in that category to actually bring the originality of dance music to the forefront of pop, and have 5 #1 singles alone in their first year alone? Lady GaGa was a songwriter for many artists before she went solo, which made her very popular, very fast. Her songs are the songs are the songs of our generation, something we can hold on to, and dance while we're at it. Not to mention how she is able to morph all her songs with her piano performances, and bring such originality and talent to every part of her performances that she always has a huge part in creating.

Lady is a singer, songwriter, musician, theatrical performer, fashion designer, pioneer. Why not show her some recognition for it?

Short Notice of Doom

I got yelled at cause I didn't update. And I have a big test tomorrow so this shall be short. Everything is closing. Everything. Shrek just closed (darn), Finian's Rainbow, Bye Bye (literally) Birdie, Ragtime. Yeah.

But here's my theory: All the fluff/revivals are dying b/c tourists are moneyless, so the rich/cultured people, or just theatre die hards are the only ones hitting the theatre now. Maybe this means some good new original stuff coming up? We'll see. :)

[tossers] [everywhere] [ :)) ]

Alright...soooo....I didn't post anything last Wednesday. And I was going this weekend...but I didn't. In the end, I just didn't have any internet connection from where I was staying for New Year's.

HAPPY NEW YEAR

Anyway, I just thought I would dedicate this post to one of the most original musicals ever to hit B-Way! [title of show]! And, yes, the show isn't on Broadway anymore, but many, many states are having their premieres of the show! Included in these are

• Missouri
• Massachusetts
• Arizona
• Michigan
• Virginia

That. Is epic. And hopefully I will take part in the regional premiere of [title of show] in...Rock Hill, South Carolina! Yes, the awesome Edge Theatre Company that I work with will finally perform this show in their next season. Cross your fingers that the auditions go well!

Other than that, The History Boys is still looking up. The french is still difficult but we're getting there. Just remember that the show runs February 4-7. Go see the show!
