Alive, more than before (turns out magnesium supplements do work).

Yesterday, I went to the "Best of Roma Theatre" concert, which was supposed to feature the best bits of the musicals they've done over the last twelve years. In order:

• Crazy for You - So you're tapdancing with Rockettes. Good for you. I've seen it done with actual sex appeal. By a ( Read more... )

I was somewhat dragged to see Thor, because my mother of all people decided she wants something pretty and brainless ( Read more... )

Today was the last show in Warsaw for Phantom of the Opera. While our production's not my favourite, I did attend a dozen times over the 2+ years, and I wasn't going to miss the derniere ( Read more... )
