While Grease Live! won’t make anyone forget the original film any time soon, it sure was a fun ride. It certainly couldn’t have been easy figuring out a way to placate the legions of fans of the original movie while also bridging the gap between live television and theatre. The hybrid staging technique that was employed saw this show spread across ( Read more... )

Final performance of Jesus Christ Superstar at Hart House and I already miss it immensely. There is a giant void without JCS in my life. *sigh* There really is no need for me to go on again about how great the production was. I loved it the first time around and it was even better the second time. The singing was stronger…even though there wasn’t ( Read more... )

Over the next three weeks I will be seeing Jesus Christ Superstar THREE times. Yes, you read that correctly. I'll be seeing it twice at Hart House and once at the Lower Ossington Theatre. Let me just clarify this scenario for newbies to my blog, the one most primal law in my household = if there is a production of Jesus Christ Superstar in Toronto ( Read more... )

Am now the proud owner of tickets to both the Game of Thrones exhibit that will be taking place at the TIFF Bell Lightbox in May and Fan Expo circa my birthday. Huzzah!!

Ooh, I see that Jesus Christ Superstar is on the season bill for 2014/15 at Hart House Theatre. Hmmm, wonder how many times I'll be seeing that one...

Woohoo!! I picked up third row centre tickets to see Priscilla, Queen of the Desert, on Boxing Day evening. That will give me something to do during the holiday hiatus. Add those tickets to the ones I already have for Rock of Ages in early December. I'll be seeing Rock of Ages for the second time. Of course, this is all just prep for the big ( Read more... )

Time for the annual viewing of The Ten Commandments. Tonight in HD - so I can spot the flaws in all their glory. I've seen this movie so many times I know it by heart. I keep hoping Moses would just come to his senses and for once take control of Egypt so that he would have the power to simply free his people. It would have been a lot simpler that ( Read more... )

What else has been going on, you ask? Ah yes, I am still obsessed with The Big Bang Theory. Of course I purchased the dvds of the first season and have already finished watching them . In fact I’m actually rewatching them. The only thing that has quelled my current obsession for TBBT is the release of the season two dvds of Greek (which I just ( Read more... )

Nothing much happening here. Phil is out of the office today (*kelebrates*) so I plan on leaving very, very early. Since I expect to finish up the Lewis Carroll books this afternoon, I want to stop off at Chapters to pick up a couple of eagerly-awaited for novels from my wishlist on the way home.  In other shopping news, I purchased a year's supply ( Read more... )

I shall attempt to do a weekend update...one sentence per item...

• Real Madrid lost....but Gago still has the best hair in the world. *fangirl squee*
  
• Djoker won Indian Wells defeating Mardy Fish who had reached the finals after 'demolishing' Federer in the Semis!!!! O_o  Repeat after me, Roger: "MIRKA, YOU'RE FIRED!!!" *prays*
• HAPPY belated EASTER.... ( Read more... )

I was scarily busy this weekend. I hate weekends like that - you can never really enjoy them. Next weekend I have four full days of relaxation on order. In fact, I'm thinking of taking next Tuesday off as well!! Why not? But before I get too excited, how about a quick recap...

Friday night I finished reading The Mystery of Simonetta which now puts ( Read more... )
