I'm not going to go too into it for this public entry, but jeez, I'm wondering whether to feel like an idiot or not.
For those of you who didn't know, I went to the lovely Seth Rudetsky's (wow, did I butcher his name) Broadway Chatterbox tonight.
Okay, the man was funny as HELL. So funny. I love funny gay men.
Linda Mugleston was also there, she went first, because I think that she's going on for Donna Murphy tonight. She sang "100 Easy Ways", wow, did she blow everyone's mind. Number one, I love that song, and Number two, the woman sounds exactly like Donna Murphy- even better than the cast recording. I love her voice, and I actually loved her version of the Witch. I also loved her Vanessa Williams story- the fu dog! Loved her! She left halfway during the show because Barrett was up and I think that she needed to get to the Al Hirschfield (That's where WONDERFUL TOWN is, right?).
And then Barrett went up- poor Barrett! Seth gave it to him for being in MAMMA MIA, I thought that it was horrifically funny. I wasn't sure whether to laugh or not, because Barrett is up there trying to defend the show, and Seth is totally giving it to him. I don't know if anyone noticed it, but I felt a somewhat...resented tone in his voice? Maybe it was just me. I don't know.
He sang "I Wish I Could Go Back To College" (as a solo), with PRINCETON! I got to be about 4 feet away from the puppet- it was awesome! If it was Rod, I wouldn't have been able to restrain myself. I would have grabbed Rod and ran away.
What else?? I loved hearing the little stories that they told.
And the Avenue Q people signed the contracts again, so they've got another run.
Lots more, gossip and all, but I can't write it here.
Anyway, Kathy's totally awesome. I hope that they didn't feel too uncomfortable- these people were either parents of adults, grandparents, etc. etc., in other words, way older than me. (but believe me, very active!) I felt kind of out of place, but I think that I had a blast with them.
Okay. That's it for this entry. Kisses!
