Why does any discussion of Elementary have to feature a comparison with the BBC Sherlock? Why does one have to be better? THEY'RE BOTH GOOD. They're such completely different animals.

The Book of Mormon: As expected, Matt Doyle was a total delight as Elder Price. Love him, and he was as sweet as ever at stage door. I saw the show two years ago when it opened and it was great fun to see it again. We were able to get our ( Read more... )

I love that they even included Alison Sweeney and Deidre Hall! Oh, NBC. That was awesome. "Brotherhood of Man" is one of my fave musical theatre songs ever.

I've seen American Idiot twice since I saw it on opening night, and they worked out the mic problems and the show was AWESOME. OMG so good. bliss_ and I went Friday night and Saturday night and had terrific seats both times. On Saturday, which was NYE, we were second row centre and it was phenomenal. At the end of "Holiday," Van Hughes was standing a few ( Read more... )
