So I'm ( Read more... )

Has anyone else ever heard of this show? I went with my Ma and a whole bunch of cousins up to New York yesterday for a full 15 hours of purse shopping, alcohol drinking, dancing, and theatre going. This was the musical that we saw. ( Read more... )

We shall call today: “Sir Skybound-Spams-A-Lot!” as that is exactly what I intend to do. Next up, in our spam multi-feature, is a write up of magus24601’s and mine recent outing to Les Miserables:( Cut for Musical Spammage )
