I haven't posted in a million years!
Tonight Mike and I went to see Jersey Boys!
FANTASTIC! It's honestly the best (BEST!) musical I've seen in a L-O-N-G time! And I don't just mean "best=fun" "best=funny" etc., I mean "best overall!" Tight show, good pacing, GREAT sound mix, great acting, AWESOME singing, good story, nice lighting, amazing scene changes (yeah, you can TELL I work backstage!) and overall a really good show! Now THAT'S a musical! I bought the $15 program! The last time I bought a program (in Toronto) was probably Lord of the Rings: The Musical (not because it was good, but because Brent was in the show AND I wanted documentation of the travesty that it turned out to be!) My top five musicals list has now changed because of Jersey Boys.
Ahem.
1. Les Miserables
2. Sunset Boulevard
3. Ragtime
4. Jersey Boys
5. Wicked
I don't even know/remember what it pushed off. Probably Lion King or Titanic. Or something. Definitely not Mamma Mia, Evita or any other crappy show!

In non-musical news, otahyoni is in Toronto! Huzzah! Tomoro I take her and Duck for the whirlwind tour of Toronto and to the geek haven that is Silver Snail. Should go to bed now so that I can wake up early to meet them at 10am! GAH! The things we do for our friends! ;)
Oh, and my dog is still uber-adorable!
