Always Look on the Bright Side of Life!
That is the title of a hit song from the new Broadway musical Spamalot, which I am seeing this summer on my trip to NYC along with my friends accompanying. This show was bound to be a hit and is now sold out for months. 14 Tony Nominations! Only one nomination shy of The Producers. It still could beat The Producers in how many awards are actually won. Producers only won 13 of the 15 it was nominated for. So if Spamalot were to win all of its nomination categories, it would hold the record for the most Tony Awards in Broadway history. Highly unlikely though, even though this musical is wicked awesome! Spamalot's contenders are very worthy as well. Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, which we're also seeing, is up for best musical as well as 10 more nominations, 11 total. It recently won the Drama League Award for best musical, so we'll see what happens at the Tony's. Anyway, I got the Spamalot CD in the mail today via Walmart.com. They have cheap CD's there, but only order online! Their in store selection is very sparse. This CD is AMAZING! I am loving the show already and I have yet to see it. Very catchy, very new, and VERY funny! I see why New Yorkers are eating it up, and the Python name helps too, I'm sure.
But anyway, we have a meeting on this NYC trip this Thursday and I'm only getting more and more excited with each day. I'm also seeing The Pillowman up there with Meghan Groves. It should be good too. Very interesting plot I think. It received 6 Tony noms, we'll see how it does. Doubt will be a hot rival though. I hope I get to see my good friend Evalyn Baron while I'm up there this time. I missed her when I was up there with chorus, so maybe we'll be able to meet her this time. Such a dear and very talented lady. One of my role models. Her husband Peter is doing a concert staging of South Pacific at Carnegie Hall with Reba McIntyre in June. It's before we get up there or I would have gone. Around June 6th, I believe it is.
So, enough of theatre talk. I'm looking for a new job right now. I have to get out of K-Mart. It's the portal to hell, I promise! I've applied at the Wildflower Bakery, but I don't know... If anyone has any suggestions, leave them in comment form on here please. Maybe I'll see if the Cafe at Barter needs anyone. I doubt it though.
