Woooo! 9 to 5 picked up FIFTEEN Drama Desk Awards. Hmm... Looks like that beats Hair's 7? 8? Sorry, Philip!
Dolly is going to be on David Letterman tonight talking about it. Check it out.

[Title of Show] Show and Other Random Comments
A new eppisode of the [Title of Show] Show was uploaded today. This is a behind the scenes (yet hilariously scripted) look at Title of Show. It usually features a few big name Broadway star cameos and this one is no exception. At the very beginning, Cheyenne Jackson, and the three lovely 9 to 5 ladies appear:

And we find out the REAL murderer of Mindy, the puppet that was shot at the end of the last season... I guess you just gotta watch it. The eppisode is all about the Tonys and how [Title of Show] could be nominated for several awards.
Not to be a downer, but I kinda doubt that [tos] will be nominated for much. It didn't run for very long, but it became the obsession of theatre dorks everywhere. I honestly don't get what everyone is so obsessed w/. I mean, wooo, it's a ballade for the underdog, but honestly- what show isn't? Wicked is a ballade for the underdog, Ok? I never saw it, but I've listened to the soundtrack a lot. There are some funny parts, but the music isn't amazing. The only thing, in my opinion, this show had going for it was its creative plot and the love of theatre snobs. I feel like I SHOULD be one of them- I'm working on writing my second musical- but I just don't connect w/ this show.
Alright, now you have two perspectives on [tos], on to other things.
Next to Normal: I am so in love with this show. Go. buy. it. now. That is all.
9 to 5: Who's excited? Opening night is the 30th!! The Outer Critics Circle nominated Andy Blankenbuehler (who also did In the Heights) for his coreography, Megan Hilty (Doralee) as "Outstanding Actress" and Kathy Fitzgerald (Roz) as "Oustanding Featured Actress." The Drama League has nominated the show for Distinguished production of a show and Distinguished Performance Awards for Megan and Allison Janney (Violet.)
I'm so happy Megan got two nominations because come Tony time, she's the one that IF IF IF she gets nominated, gets nominated for featured instead of leading. Her character has the least arc to travel personally and she doesn't have a huge chance to show off her voice or acting abilities.
Allison will be nominated for leading. Stephanie could go either way. I kinda hope she's nominated for featured because against Alice Ripley (Next to Normal) in leading? ...no.
Sounds like it's about time for Philip and me to be making our Tony guesses. Hmm... we should have a contest! Haha.
Alright, hopefully those will be coming shortly. Till latah,
Jess

Being nine people's favorite thing really paid off! More, please!
One of the greatest shows to hit Broadway, [title of show], is joining other B-Way stars and comedians for the R Family Vacations Summer Cruise! Amazing!
[title of show] is a musical about two guys writing a musical about two guys writing a musical. I'll continue if you're not confused yet (if so...too bad). This is considered to be the "underdog musical" because of it's original content and fantastic storyline. The actors in the show say that they play more concentrated versions of themselves. This show is a recipient of three Obie Awards and the writiers of the book, music, and lyrics, Hunter Bell and Jeff Bowen, both received GLADD media award nominations for the show. After moving to Broadway from its wildly successful performance Off-Broadway...it left B-Way. But after a few months, so it had a good run and made its mark as an original Broadway musical like the show intended to be. For more information about it, visit the show's site or check out their soundtrack, available off of Ghostlight Records.
Now, I love this show. The songs never get old, and the story still makes me laugh. Being an aspiring actor myself, its great to see something like this make Broadway. And though I don't necessarily want to be on B-way, I still find a great inspiration in the show as being something imperfect and not flashy, but something true to the heart of theatre. With this, I missed the entire run of the show, which makes me wonder. Will the show return a run? Will it tour like it deserves to? Or is this engagement on a cruise the last stand for this outstanding work of art? Questions, questions, questions, but I really am looking forward to seeing further information about the show.

http://www.rfamilyvacations.com/ for those who are lucky enough to take the cruise. It's a predominatly gay cruise-line but the purpose is to create a vacation for everyone. Hooray!

Softball Results
Well, 9 to 5 didn't have enough people to play but they still did anyway.
So, even though HAIR won by default, they still played. And HAIR won!!!! A good day for the tribe. A suprisingly close score of 9 to 8 left 9 to 5 in the losers braket. And don't get me wrong I love the show BUT I love HAIR! Good job guys!
